176. Mind Your Own Karma: Melissa Brunetti on Somatic Therapy and Healing
Melissa Brunetti, GenX Certified SMGI® Practitioner, Trauma Healing & Mind-Body Coach with Somatic
Mindful Guided Imagery® & Mind Your Own Karma The Adoption Chronicles Podcaster, joins us to talk about her journey to educate people about adoption
trauma, the Primal Wound and Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery.
Her goal is to inspire people and remind us that we are only one decision away from a totally different life!
She asks all of us to reflect on the question: is it ever too late to reinvent yourself?
She is an example to all of us that it’s never too late:
In 2021, at the age of 53, Melissa Brunetti decided to create a podcast, "Mind Your Own Karma,"
from the ground up. Remarkably, she had never even listened to a podcast before. This single decision ignited a journey of self-discovery, self-confidence, and ultimately a brand-new career.
After working as a sonographer for over 30 years, Melissa is now one of the few certified Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery practitioners in the world. She is thrilled to be at the forefront of this unique and effective SMGI technique and is eagerly embracing the challenges of introducing this new modality to those seeking a more
holistic approach to their mental and physical well-being.
Topics covered in the Episode:
What are the origins of Melissa's podcast to
being a Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery Practitioner?
What are some adoption discoveries?
What is the Mother Wound?
What is SMGI and why is it so helpful for those of us with trauma, anxiety, stress, addictions?
3 takeaways:
1. The common sense that adoptions are like a “Disneyland happy ever after” experience needs to be challenged and the resulting trauma uncovered/accepted.
2. The Mother Wound or Primal Wound occurs when babies are missing the mother/child bond or connection, which can affect many aspects of life going forward both mentally and physically. “Coming out of the Fog” is a term used in the adoptee community defining the moment when an adoptee realizes the role adoption trauma has played in how they move and respond in their everyday life.
3. Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery helps
people who are seeking relief from physical or
psychological symptoms, stress, anxiety or trauma, find a sense of wellbeing by accessing their subconscious mind, supporting them in discovering their natural ability to achieve healing and wholeness.
Special Offer:
Melissa will give our listeners 10% off of a 3 or 6 pack of SMGI with Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery sessions
with promo code GTTL10.
