Scroll down for the YouTube video (and we do recommend reading the mini-article here for context). A few weeks ago, I interviewed a very special guest about his incredible journey from complex ptsd to health and nervous system regulation. My wonderful husband and colleague, Seth Lyon. And boy [...]
Irene here. Below I have a story that was shared by one of our SmartBody SmartMind alumni, Kait. I only came across her and her story when she sent this letter to us a couple of weeks ago. While her share is deeply impactful, it is not uncommon. [...]
