Gateways to Awakening

Today’s episode is about holistic psychotherapy and healing our past in order to heal our future In this episode, I interview Heather Monroe. Heather Monroe, LCSW. Heather is an integrative psychotherapist who specializes in the healing of relational trauma. Through her extensive training and work in clinical and experiential modalities Heather guides clients through a holistic and transformative process. Heather’s approach to helping people is creative, open and flexible as she understands that just as the context of trauma is individual so is the process of healing. Heather is a certified Kundalini yoga teacher as well as a student of Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing training both of which have given her a deep understanding of the body and how trauma is held in and released through it. We talk about: - How healing our past can heal our present - The power of boundaries - What to do when you’ve hit rock bottom - Tools to move you out of a fight or flight moment - The power of gratitude as a practice - Less than, greater than and the differences in attachment styles https://www.monroewellness.com/ @monroewellness on Instagram

It seems like disconnection is the disease of our time, and especially disconnection from self. Many people are feeling stuck and living a life on auto-pilot or simply responding to their life as opposed to creating it. But what if there was more to our existence than what meets the five senses or what we were programmed to believe? In one on one conversations with leading experts in wellness, well-being, consciousness and spirituality, Gateways to Awakening is a platform where leaders share best practices and offer a gateway to help those who are interested expand their awareness and consciousness. I’m your host Yasmeen Turayhi, and I’ve spent the last decade exploring the different modalities from the western traditions to the eastern traditions. I believe we need a bridge, and a place for people to access leading voices in the space of cutting edge ideas on wellness, neuroscience, intuition, quantum physics and , near-death experiences, consciousness. In this podcast, I interview a spectrum of guests from leading psychotherapists, Academics in Quantum Physics, Neuroscience, Neuroanatomy, and experts in Emotional Awareness, Binaural beats, Intuition, and more. I’m the founder of Inner-Knowing School (InnerKnowingSchool.com), a school that trains executives and creatives how to train their intuition for higher awareness, and how to manage their energy instead of their time. We ask these questions and more: How can I understand myself and bring greater awareness into my life? How can I connect with my own voice and intuition and be on the highest life path possible? Is there a greater intelligence, a primordial, intuitive intelligence?
