128. Feel It To Heal It: Somatic Emotional Processing with Karena Neukirchner

1 hour 1 minute

Chris & Filly are joined with Karena Neukirchner, a somatic healing coach, to go deep on the topic of somatic therapy, feeling emotions and sensations in order to heal, and holding space for the subconscious parts of you that need to be heard and that hold great wisdom and learning.

We are lucky enough to have Karena coming into our Ending Body Burnout Method in a few week’s time, to take our clients through a somatic healing workshop. If you’d love to attend, come join us in the Method (doors open soon!)

About Karena Nuekirchner

Karena is a somatic healing coach who helps people deepen their healing journey through somatic emotional processing, allowing them to heal unresolved wounds and break free from the old patterns that have been keeping them stuck. Dedicated to helping her clients heal the wounds that are at the very root of their struggles, her work is deeply transformative, compassionate, and profound. As the host of the popular podcast, Somatic Healing Meditations, she guides tens of thousands of listeners through powerful somatic practices to regulate their nervous system, deepen their healing journey, and feel better IN their body.

In today’s episode, Karena talks to Chris & Filly about:

About her own decade long journey of trying to resolve anxiety - and how somatic healing improved her anxiety by 50% in just 3-months

The root-cause of Karena’s anxiety & how she metabolised and moved shame through the body

Why people stuck in “burnout” patterns - over-doing, people pleasing, perfectionism - disconnect from their bodies and their emotions

Why you have to feel it to heal it

How to hold space for self-judgement, so you can access its message and wisdom

How somatic healing is different from talk therapy and mindset strategy - and why it allows you to heal and resolve dysfunction at a deeper level

How the physical body can manifest in symptoms when emotions and past events are suppressed

Karena finishes off, taking us through a short somatic regulation practice
