IN THIS EPISODE – Niall McKeever speaks with Irene Lyon, a somatic experiencing practitioner and nervous system expert, who has dedicated the past twenty years of her life to understanding the role that the nervous system plays in healing from past traumas, and setting us up for flourishing in life. She has studied extensively under the likes of Peter Levine, Kathy Kain, and Stephen Terrell – so she brings both a wide-ranging and in-depth perspective to her work. In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- Why the nervous system is the central component around which all other aspects of well-being revolve
- How trauma gets “stored” in the body and what can be done to heal
- To what extent our behaviour is “hardwired” or malleable to change
- Irene’s theory on the origins of self sabotage
