In the first part of this talk on trauma and the spiritual journey, Reggie addresses the question: should we work with a therapist and heal our traumas before we engage the path of dharma? He says that the journey of somatic spirituality helps us understand that trauma is the human condition and, with meditation practice, can be healed.

This talk was given at the 2016 The Body Loves retreat held at the Blazing Mountain Retreat Center in Crestone, CO. To find out more about upcoming retreats, please visit www.dharmaocean.org
