We have all experienced episodes of our fight-flight-freeze response... and sometimes we might even get stuck in that stress loop. This is why the practice of somatic experiencing is critical to our mental and physical wellness. In this episode of Mindful Conversations with KAY, Kelly and Kristi dig into this fascinating topic by exploring questions like:

*What, exactly, is somatic experiencing?

*How can we use physical movements to get mentally/emotionally "unstuck"?

*Why is discharging stress crucial to healing?

*How can we instill mindful awareness of physical cues?

*How do we become Body Detectives?
