In this episode we're taking a deep dive into Somatic Therapy. According to Psychology Today, Somatic therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses both psychotherapy and physical therapies for holistic healing. If talk therapy has reached its limits for a patient, somatic therapy holds that the body is a largely untapped resource for psychotherapy.

The guest on the show today is Dr. Luke Sniewski. Dr. Luke is a New Zealand well-being coach and somatic therapist. He is a certified practitioner, mentor, and facilitator of Compassionate Inquiry, a therapeutic approach developed by renowned Gabor Maté, aimed at helping people unearth the root causes of their suffering and self-destructive cycles. In November 2022, he launched the book "Somawise: Get out of your head, get into your body", which became a best seller in three categories.

Topics discussed in this episode include: 

• How the body plays a role in the healing process
• Why talk therapy is not enough for healing
• Dr. Luke's work with men who struggle with an addiction to pornography
• Settling into the experience of meditation as a tool to break addictions and healing trauma
• The difference between judgment and gratitude, and;
• The body’s ability to spontaneously heal
