The Somatic Spectrum

(Ep. 5) My Story of Self-Discovery | Embracing My “Too Muchness” and My Authentic Self through Somatic Practices


Listen Later

Oliver Phoenix shares their transformative journey of self-discovery. Oliver details the impact of somatic practices on his life, especially as an queer & neurodivergent person navigating the childhood trauma and masking of the true self that came along with that. They discuss the catalyst to his journey, their experience with somatic practices and meditation, and navigating a newfound understanding of the self. Exploring the misconceptions around being 'too much,' and hurdles of overintellectualizing in therapy, Oliver emphasizes the importance of holding oneself gently and processing emotions through the body. This episode provides insights and actionable tips for neurodivergent individuals seeking support in their lives in order to live more authentically and with greater ease and joy.
