Through a Trauma-informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul

E121: What Consent Really Means in Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching and Teaching


Listen Later

In this episode of my show Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I explore consent as a lived, embodied and nervous-system-based experience - not just something we agree to only at the level of the mind. I share why consent is foundational in trauma-informed somatic coaching and teaching, and why it is an ongoing, relational practice rather than a one-off agreement. We look at how trauma shapes our capacity to sense and express consent, and how safety is co-created moment by moment between practitioner and client.


This episode is especially for women who work - or feel called to work - as coaches, yoga teachers, facilitators or practitioners, and who want to create safer, more ethical and more embodied spaces for the people they support.


In this episode I talk about: 

  • Consent as a somatic and nervous-system-based experience

  • The difference between cognitive consent and embodied consent

  • How trauma can shape our ability to sense and communicate consent

  • Why safety is relational and co-created, not simply provided

  • The role of practitioner embodiment, boundaries and nervous-system awareness
