I know this theme will trigger some, but in my social media scrolling I keep seeing these messages:

"Let go of shame". Well, I actually think shame is essential!

Join me to learn the somatic psychology perspective, and why we should embrace our shame.

Please share with me your thoughts :)

In this episode, I speak and elaborate on a theme I talk about quite often in my content and clinic.

Beneath any defensive behavior or movement pattern there is a pain experience that needs to be met to be transformed.

Join me.

After such a long time, it feels so good to be back.

Many women come to my practice with a lack of connection and understanding of their inner experiences.

Their emotions, sensations, needs, and heartfelt desires feel distant to them. We spend hours building this bridge back. Many of them hold the belief that it's not important – not important what they want, think, or feel.

"It's so important,

YOU ARE important,"

I often reply.

I got this question recently from a client and I thought it was worth sharing it here as well.

My answer is partly based on The Bodyknot - a communication module from the Bodynamic system I simply love,

It made so much order and sense in my personal life and experience, and I use it, in many ways, with my clients.

In this link, you could find a graph for the short version of this module.

Gina has been a significant step in my own personal journey in the somatic field and the one that turned it into a professional journey. 

Gina Ora Yoli studies dance/ performance/ choreography (B.A) and completes a Master in Expressive arts and dance movement psychotherapy. (M.A BC-DMT). She has been an art and movement psychotherapist for 30 years and facilitating Authentic Movement since 2000.                   Gina's work has included psychiatric (Harvard teaching hospital, McLean), educational, and social service settings. She has been in private practice since 2009. 

Gina's passion led her to explore how movement, expression, healing, and spirituality converge. This led her to the island of Java, Indonesia where she studied with meditation and movement masters. The practice of Authentic Movement provided Gina the perfect container in which to explore embodied consciousness within the freedom of movement. 

Gina is an ongoing student of Non-Dualism and Shamanism, integrating into her body of work. 

She was born in the U.S, raised in Jerusalem, and is currently a resident of the Fruska gora, Serbia.

The field of birth psychology is growing fast. There is more and more research on this period of our lives and its effect on our body and life later on. I invited Kate White, a passionate practitioner in the field, to talk and share with me, with us, from her world.
