This podcast series is a direct practice offering and perspective from certified SE® Practitioners.

My guest today, Avdeep has a unique perspective that saw her finding the SE® work after suffering a concussion. Avdeep shares her deep resonance with the nervous system physiology having worked previously as an Occupational Therapist in a neuro rehab unit.

She shares how she appreciated the integration of older traditions and practices, how they became somewhat packaged and teachable with SE® and it help fill a gap that as missing for her on her healing journey post-concussion. She has training and experience in tai chi eg expansion /contraction, natural rhythms of nature and is completing a Tao of Trauma course too ( 5 Element Chinese Medicine and SE® touch).

She speaks of presence and connectedness as benefits to the teachings of Somatic Experiencing™. Avdeep connected with a hashtag she created prior to learning SE® ~ #fromlonlinesstoconnection. The messaging behind this hashtag now vibrates more for her than ever before; an impulse in her that there is something more finally arose!

Avdeep has created and runs virtual healing groups using Somatic Experiencing™ ! She is one of the only individuals I have talked to to date that does this. I think group work is incredibly powerful and I enjoyed hearing about this group in our podcast today.

My colleagues words enlighten me as a mental health clinician. They help me to further understand the limitations just one kind of training lens, in my case mental health, how this can indirectly and unintentionally limit the scope and depth of trauma healing work. This is why I created this series.

I believe trauma work is expansive, it is complicated. Embracing the togetherness that is knowledge, information and experience is enriching and healing. As a body of helping professionals we can not, and should not, do this work in isolation.

Join us for a conversation that enlightens others on the clinical work that is SE® whether you are curious about starting with a practitioner for your own personal journey or if you are a professional curious about what all this hype is about, this trauma modality known as Somatic Experiencing™ [https://traumahealing.org/se-101/]
