Reverence for Impulse

Reverence for Impulse Is an unscripted and unplanned podcast with me, Weena Pauly-Tarr and my brother Tim Pauly, both working in the worlds of somatics: exploring bodies and all they hold/do/feel. We start each guest encounter with a few minutes of meeting each other without words, through the language of our bodies, before we press record and bring it to a conversation. This is not a hard hitting agenda or getting to the bottom of things. It's about finding each other in the not-knowing. We're here for the spaciousness, the awkwardness, the silliness, the silence — from the dark insides of our bodies to the bright insights of our minds, we're excited to welcome people who's impulses we'd like to get to know.

Reverence for Impulse is an unscripted, unplanned and (hopefully) unedited podcast with me, Weena Pauly-Tarr. Together with my guests, we're asking what is alive in this moment?We start each episode with a few minutes of meeting each other head-to-toe, through the language of our bodies, before we press record and bring it to a conversation. We start where we are. This is not a hard hitting agenda or getting to the bottom of things, it's about being in the bottoms of things. Finding each other in the not-knowing. I'm here for the spaciousness, the awkwardness, the silliness, the silence — From the dark insides of our bodies to the brightness of our minds, I'm excited to welcome people who's impulses I'd like to get to know.

Jane Clapp is a Jungian Psychoanalyst (IAAP), a Registered Psychotherapist and an expert in the inseparable relationship between the body and psyche.

The purpose of analysis and embodiment is to open us up TO BEING MOVED by life again and to fall back in love with being alive. She live in wonder and awe of the strength of the human spirit and the unique ways we all long to express and manifest who we truly are in our relationships and in the world. Jane believes in the power of understanding the body and psyche together to recover who we were truly meant to be in our lives.

For over twenty years, she was a movement and somatic coach and embodiment educator working with a diverse clientele worldwide, many of whom have suffered deeply from emotional or physical pain, longing to come back into meaning and vitality. Jane has a depth of expertise in the effects of chronic and traumatic stress and general emotional overwhelm and how they manifest in the body and psyche. Bringing together her many years of somatic study, over twenty years of clinical experience, extensive personal Jungian Analysis, and professional training as a Jungian Analyst, I have developed a body of work, Jungian Somatics™.

Jane founded and created a groundbreaking professional training program, Movement for Trauma, that she offered to hundreds of psychotherapists and somatics practitioners from across the globe for many years. She is also a member of The Breathe Network, which connects sexual violence survivors with trauma-informed healing arts practitioners. She has been both a keynote speaker and seminar leader presenting on my work at the Jung Society of Utah, Calgary Jung Society, the London Arts-Based Research Centre and secondary/vicarious trauma prevention and compassion fatigue for several organizations, including the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, Fire Service Women of Ontario, sexual violence support workers for Ontario universities and front-line social services workers and counsellors and also twice presented at the Trauma Talks conference at Women's College Hospital.

Mariana's Bio: One of my greatest passions is being in relationship. I love sharing, learning, teaching, being in presence with others and observing the unique impact that relationships have on each of us. I am a psychologist, psychotherapist, master trainer of systemic-relational psychotherapists and teacher in trainning in Somatic Experiencing. My clinical work with individuals, families and couples integrates psychotherapy and SE which allows me to navigate relational issues with a special attention to the body and its wonderful physiology. For me there is nothing more beautiful than being able to accompany my consultants and colleagues in training on this path of learning to live in their bodies with more presence and deepening their capacity to connect with others.

Nick Duran Bio: My therapy practice is person-centered and trauma-informed, emphasizing collaboration and skill building. I utilize techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness, EMDR, and expressive arts therapy to address unhelpful ways of thinking and the bodily impact of stress and trauma. I meet clients where they are and offer treatment that is LGBTQIA+ affirming and culturally responsive. I am devoted to working with individuals

facing various issues, including anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, grief, and life transitions. I believe individuals are the experts of their lived experience, and therapy is an investment in one's success and empowerment.

In addition to attaining my MS in Counseling Psychology from California State University Long Beach, I have a background in the arts and education and hold a BFA and MFA in Dance. I enjoy dancing in nature—the beach, mountains, deserts, and forests along the west coast. I make ceramics and drawings in my free time, and I sing when I think no one can hear me. I believe in the transformative power of art—to heal and connect deeply with oneself and one's community—which I bring into the therapeutic process.

Tim's Bio: Whatever I do, the same skills apply across the board: empathy, honesty, collaboration, improvisation, and shared vision. So whether the arena is work, family, or partnership, these are the values I bring. A heart-forward curiosity has guided my path through professional life. The immeasurable value of getting outside my comfort zone led me overseas and into a career helping other Americans do the same. Meditation and questioning of cultural norms opened the door to the sacred field of end-of-life care. My love for community and new ways of collaborating took me to the forefront of the co-working movement. And my deep reverence for the body, the more-than-human, directionality, aimlessness, and (actually) irreverence brought me into my current work as a Somatic Coach. I work with clients from all backgrounds and seem to catch the attention of those seeking depth and direction around gender, sexuality, and their relationship with self/selves.
