Using Somatic Therapy to Recover From Chronic Pelvic Pain with Dr Tara Morrison

Dr. Tara Morrison is Birth Trauma Specialist and Holistic Pelvic Floor  Physical Therapist who specialises in whole-person care for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. We actually met several years ago when we were both training at the Integrative Women’s Health Institute, so it was a real pleasure to have her on the show!

Tara uses trauma-informed Somatic Pelvic Care to aid not just pain and pelvic floor dysfunction, but nervous system healing through mind-body based physical therapy tools, stress management, somatic emotional release, energy medicine, and mindful living. 

In today’s episode, Tara and I talk about how she uses somatic therapy for chronic pelvic pain.

In this episode we discuss:

• The development of the nervous system and how childhood experiences can cause chronic nervous system dysregulation and pelvic pain
• Emotional experiences and patterns and their impact on symptoms.
• Poly-vagal theory and the chronic freeze state in endometriosis and other pelvic pain conditions.
• What somatic therapy is and how this mind-body approach can help heal the root of endo and other pelvic pain conditions.
• How to start focusing on what feels good from a nervous system lense.
