In this episode, Ryan Hassan and Matt Kay dive into the transformative world of somatic therapy and share practical insights on how to run an effective session. They explore why working with the body—not just the mind—is essential for addressing trauma, emotional imprints, and deep-seated patterns.

Key Topics Covered:

Why traditional cognitive approaches alone often fall short in resolving trauma

Understanding the body’s role in processing emotions, sensations, and trauma imprints

The concept of the “royal road to transformation”—accessing deeper layers of conditioning through the body

Exploring the qualities of the experience

Insights Shared:

Trauma is stored in the body and nervous system, not just in the mind

Developing the ability to stay present with uncomfortable emotions and sensations is key—rather than trying to fix or remove them

Approaching inner experiences with curiosity, acceptance, and befriending—instead of resistance—is essential for transformation

The body holds invaluable information and access points that cognitive approaches alone cannot reach
