Hello there, Last month the focus of my special topic lecture was all on the somatic and nervous system approach to healing sexual trauma. In case you missed it, I wanted to showcase this lecture today. While the scope of this subject is broad and complex, [...]
What do you think: Can the all too often vilified emotion we know as anger be medicine? In my personal and professional experience, it is one hundred percent medicine when we know what anger’s purpose actually is, what our biological capacity for it is, and then how to [...]
The Cambridge online dictionary defines the stiff upper lip as follows: Someone who has a stiff upper lip does not show their feelings when they are upset. For example: He was taught to keep a stiff upper lip, whatever happens. In this week’s vlog I talk about emotional [...]
I know, I know... Horror and disgust; not the lightest topics to learn about, but I’ve been feeling a pull to make a video on this for quite some time so here we are. I believe themes like these are important because they are part of humanity and [...]

In this newest vlog I dive into the topic of sadness and the two different kinds of sadness that are rarely spoke of: nutritive and habitual. My approach and understanding around this topic of sadness is greatly influenced by my studies within the work of Somatic Experiencing, founded by Peter Levine. These specific distinctions [...]
