Becoming Sound

In today's episode, we welcome Elyse Cathrea, a certified Embodiment and Wellness Coach. Together we delve into the profound mind-body connection through somatic techniques designed to soothe the nervous system. We discuss growing up with alcoholism in the family and the effects of how the body stores and processes trauma, stress and emotions. We explore the power of somatic movements to calm the nervous system and facilitate the release of stored trauma. Additionally, we uncover how grief can be transformed into a valuable opportunity for learning and healing following the loss of a loved one. Join us for this enlightening conversation!

Growing up in a home filled with dysfunction, particularly when one or both parents struggle with alcoholism can profoundly change a child's emotional landscape.
