Donna Martin came highly recommended to me from several Body Awake listeners. She's deeply trained, and trains others, in the realm of Hakomi, an approach to psychotherapy that's rooted in mindfulness and body awareness.

In this interview, Donna and I dive into what felt like, for me, the heart of connecting with another human being.

The first 23 seconds of the show gives you a taste of that.

Enjoy, and do keep your recommendations coming; thank you!
