In this episode I had an amazing and in-depth conversation with Meagan Cumming who is the CEO and Owner of the Kemptville Stress Relief center. In the episode we spend some time talking about Somatic Experiencing Therapy as developed by Peter A. Levine, PhD. Meagan and I walk through what Somatic experiencing is how it relates to trauma and anxiety as well as what techniques are used in session. Through this conversation we also moved through the need to look at the person as a whole person in therapy which not only brings in the mind, but the body, the spirit and the community that we all engage in. Along the way we were able to discuss social justice, Michel Foucault's concept of discourse, and Merleau-Ponty's idea of the the body and the intersubjectivity of emotions.
