episode 68: Somatic Experiencing for Chronic Pain with Lisa Ryan
Lisa Ryan is a physiotherapist turned trauma informed somatic practitioner who helps people find freedom from their persistent pain. And this is just so important to her - because she was once a patient herself who was told she was not expected to recover - and the best she could hope for was to manage symptoms with exercises and medication. But, after a ton of research she started to learn about the mind body connection and the impact early childhood trauma may be playing into her symptoms and this completely transformed her own life - and how she practices today.
In this conversation we cover
- What Somatic Experiencing is?
- Traumatic childhood events and how they impact our mental health.
- How to deal with suppressed emotions.
- Can you fully recover from chronic pain?
- 4 easy ways how to reduce chronic pain right now.
