Recently, there’s been a lot of hype around whose theory is valid (or not) in the somatic trauma healing fields (also once known as: the new traumatology). I’ve been speaking a lot over the years about how this work is still so new, one might say embryonic at [...]
I wish stories of early trauma and longstanding abuse, like what Hosannah shares in my most recent interview release, were not common, but alas, here we are, and sadly, they are all too common. I originally heard of her story when she submitted a self-filmed testimonial for my [...]
A message for those at a breaking point. I hope you take the time to read and listen… The other day, while reviewing the video that I’m sharing with you in this post, I got to thinking about two common denominators I was hearing from my students' successes: [...]
The number of men entering this world of nervous system education and healing is growing. I know this because, as the years progress, I have seen more and more guys attending our training and Q&A calls each time that SmartBody SmartMind (aka: SBSM)* runs live. Over and over, [...]
Time and time again, our students tell us that it wasn’t until they started my online curriculums that they FINALLY felt a difference at the core of their nervous system physiology. Why is this? Many had been dedicated to mind-body awareness via foundational traditions like Buddhism and mindfulness [...]
If you do one thing this week, please watch these two videos (just under 7 minutes in total). They are both self-filmed updates from SmartBody SmartMind™ student, Hosannah. Her first video made me cry. This latest one made me smile so big. The reason I recommend watching them [...]
Every now and then, a conversation hits your core. My interview with regenerative farmer Kate Kavanaugh, back in 2023, was one of those. Why was I talking with a regenerative farmer and what does this have to do with healing trauma? Based on her lived experience, everything!  Today, [...]
As we are learning more and more, a lot of approved drugs get overused and abused (the biopic series Dopesick comes to mind). Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and a place for pharmaceuticals! Personally, I know that if I needed pain medication for an acute [...]
Meet Bernadet. Today’s share is all about her story, but it’s also about much more than that… It’s about how her own healing, via the nervous system education and practices that we teach in SBSM, has rippled out into the lives of the children she now works with [...]
If you're landing on this blog post, you have found some keynotes that Irene wanted to capture from the registration period of SmartBody SmartMind™ (SBSM) in September 2024. She highlighted an important passage from Bessel van der Kolk's book, The Body Keeps The Score, via two different social [...]
