Welcome to “The Emergent Human where we explore Optimizing Health, Embodied Spirituality and Post Conventional Living.

Ostrolenk speaks to Raja Selvam Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist who developed Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP). He’s the author of “The Practice of Embodying Emotions: A Guide for Improving Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Outcomes

Raja speaks of his early traumas and their effects on him and how his subsequent path through multiple Western and Eastern healing modalities (mainstream approaches of Intersubjective Psychoanalysis and Jungian psychology, somatic psychologies of Bioenergetic Analysis, Bodynamic Analysis, and Somatic Experiencing, bodywork/energy work systems of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Polarity Therapy, affective neuroscience, Yoga, and the spiritual approach of Advaita Vedanta) led him to develop his science-backed and body-based approach of Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) and its core clinical strategy of the practice of embodying emotions to shorten treatment times and improve cognitive, emotional, behavioral, physical, energetic, relational, and spiritual outcomes in all therapy modalities and in daily life
