EP17. Losing Loved Ones | Mending the heart with Somatic Therapy w/ Staci Haines 🇺🇸

What do you want? What do you value? What do you long for? What is yearning to heal? What do you want to be possible for your community or for the world?

What if your body already knows all the answers to these questions?

“Resilience is the ability to somatically, holistically renew ourselves during and after oppressive, threatening, or traumatic experiences. We are able to shift ourselves, physiologically and psychologically from traumatic hyperalert states to calmed cohesive states. It is the ability to regain a sense of hope and imagine a positive future.“ - Staci K. Haines

What You'll Learn:

• How our bodies carry wisdom that can guide us toward healing and transformation
• What somatics is and how it differs from conventional views of the body
• The power of making declarations about what we long for and committing to those visions
• How Staci used somatics to help her mother create a beautiful end-of-life experience
• Practical techniques for working with heartbreak, resentment, and finding balance within yourself
• Why our bodies often already know how to heal, even when our minds are struggling
