Theology of Trauma Part 1: Back to the Beginning - Sin & The Fall 09/10/2023

Theology of Trauma Part 1: Back to the Beginning - Sin & The Fall Let's go back to the beginning, shall we? In this episode, I share from the book of Genesis - the beginning of the Bible. Since I have become a Christian, my worldview has been transformed by the power of God's word and His Holy Spirit. And this worldview change, includes how I approach the philosophical ideas and theories of trauma. What we believe about God and ourselves will impact how we approach the treatment of trauma and the experience of suffering and healing. I believe the Bible gives a coherent, powerful, and ultimately liberating reason for why we experience trauma and suffering in our world today. Here's some of what I cover in this episode: What is theology? Why is theology important to trauma? Sin and the fall Why is there trauma in the world? How I approach the science of somatics (body-based trauma healing) Practical guidelines for Christians as you approach your trauma healing journey to stay grounded in God's Word and avoid being led astray. Scriptures Referenced: Genesis 2:2-25 Genesis 3:3-24 1 Corinthians 6:13 - 20 1 Thessalonians 5: 12 - 23 1 Peter 3: 14 - 18 1 Timothy 3:3 -17 Jeremiah 2:9 - 13 John 6:60-71 Questions?

What I'm Going Through and the Ones That Brought Me Here 07/15/2023

What I'm Going Through and the Ones That Brought Me Here So I woke up this morning brimming with gratitude for the integration and activation that's happening within me. And I am just thinking about all the amazing people that have been divinely put on my path that planted seeds in my spirit. And I had an overwhelming desire to share it all. Well this is easily the most vulnerable - and longest live stream I have ever done. This is the replay of the original stream on instagram. It's about what I’m going through and the people that brought me here… Wow I was not expecting this to go on as long as it did - but it did! And I was not expecting to be brought to tears - okay maybe I was lol! But not that much… I share what I’m moving through and integrating and what is coming through me. I also share some of the key people along the way that have made such a difference in my life. Not all the key people of course but the ones that came to mind. I talked about the deep feelings of self-disgust and self-loathing that kept me from seeing myself as I truly was for years - and how meaningful it is to me that I have had people divinely brought into my path to speak truth into my being. And also some heavy hitting moments with my mom that really formed part of who I am. Enjoy and leave a comment if this resonates for you!

Softening into discomfort 08/05/2022

Softening into discomfort We all know that learning to be with discomfort is an essential part of healing and growing. In fact, being with discomfort is an essential part of LIFE! After all - didn’t the Buddhists say life is suffering? But for you high performers and high achieving entrepreneurs who are used to powering through discomfort - have you noticed that that method and approach doesn’t seem to work as well for the healing journey? Why is that? It’s because we don’t see results in our trauma healing when we approach the healing journey from our survival patterns! Of course - discomfort is part of healing. But healing requires us to re-evaluate our relationship with discomfort! To heal, we have to support our nervous systems to relate differently to discomfort. Not powering through and burning out. And, not avoiding it all together. So, what do we do!? We soften into the discomfort! Listen to this week’s episode of the podcast to learn more about softening into discomfort as you heal from trauma.

Let’s talk about what it means to be trauma informed 07/24/2022

Let’s talk about what it means to be trauma informed Talk of trauma and the nervous system is on the rise in the coaching and personal development industry and on the one hand that’s great. More people becoming aware of trauma is what the world needs. And, on the other hand, we want to make sure that if we are using words like trauma-informed that we are truly trauma-informed. So let’s look at 3 key elements I’ve defined for a trauma-informed practitioner as well as some specific skills that are a foundational starting point for anyone working with trauma. I’ll also talk about how Embodied Healing Systems will help you learn and apply these elements and skills.

The Hope of Repair in a Culture of Management 07/08/2022

The Hope of Repair in a Culture of Management This week on the podcast I'm sharing with you the foundational paradigm for this work I do! And that paradigm is the hope and potential of repair when it comes to trauma, our bodies and even our communities and our world. I am sharing with you this idea in contrast to what I believe is a culture of management. I share what the fundamental differences are between a paradigm of repair and management. And I also share about how a management paradigm can be damaging over long periods of time for the nervous system. I get a little philosophical in this episode - beacuse I believe that we as practitioners and as people who care about our lives and communities need to be thinking about the paradigms and philosophies that we are bringing to our world.
