My team has been editing my long-form Q&A sessions and special topic lectures from the past — taking out pauses, when I'm scrolling for questions in the comments, etc. Basically parts of the video not needed for your learning. This edited video is from a Q&A session I [...]
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 [...]
A little while ago I did a video on the importance of practical work for healing trauma at the nervous system level, and today I want to talk about the importance of EDUCATION. You see, they are both important. We could even make up a mock math equation [...]
One of the trickier parts about being a somatic practitioner whose focus is on the nervous system is that there is no SET path. For comparison, if one wants to become a medical doctor, the path is set: get good grades in high school, do a couple of [...]
Over the past year I’ve been learning a little more about the importance of soil health, biodiversity in our ecosystems, as well as the deleterious effects of monocropping. Now, while I will most likely not go back to university to study sustainable agricultural practices, or start my own [...]
I’ve often joked that witnessing what I teach and guide people through, the practical stuff, is about as exciting as watching paint dry!! (This ‘watching paint dry’ effect is because so much of the practical work is focused on noticing and tracking internal sensations, small slow movements of [...]
It goes without saying that human beings are not your regular “animal.” And while I don’t know the historical references that put the word ‘being’ after human instead of ‘animal,’ it’s clear we human beings are unique beyond measure, and because of this, our individual resilience will be [...]
Hiya! I get questions about skin picking and other OCD-like behaviours a lot! Many of my students report that they experience this, and that they stop this mild form of self-harm as they begin to release trapped trauma, become more somatically aware, and regulated in their nervous systems. [...]
Did you catch my May special topic lecture? The topic was Nervous System Starter Steps. It was filled with a lot of classic nervous system basics, answers to commonly asked questions, plus some complex stuff too. Because I know some of you might be brand new to my [...]
When we start to understand the inner workings of our neurobiology alongside everyday events and memories from the past (either ones that were good, or not so good), so much starts to make sense. Speaking from experience, it is no coincidence I had daily tummy aches and wanted [...]
