This episode contains swearing and a trigger warning. I talk with Ashley Raju about her experience of sexual abuse and healing from traumatic events including somatic experiencing. This is a powerful episode as we talk about specific experiences of and also stereotyping of South asian women, how trauma needs a wider cultural perspective and lens to the understanding of it and the journey Ashley took with her healing. ww.thespiritualpsychologist.co.uk www.ashleyraju.com #southasiansexualabuse #sexualtrauma #southasiantrauma

In this episode I speak with Natasya who is a somatic trauma coach and who is part of my Art of Integration 12 week holistic programme. Natasya is a survivor of sexual abuse and trauma and shares her journey of healing with us. This episode does contain a trigger warning as we talk about self harm, suicidal ideation and hospitalisation. This is a very powerful episode for anyone who is feeling a sense of detachment from their bodies whether or not they have experienced sexual abuse and/or trauma.

In Episode 2 of the Healing our relationship with our sexual selves, I speak with Ben Bidwell, known as the Naked Professor. Ben talks about his own journey of healing as a young man and we dive into so much in this episode including masculine vulnerability, expectations on how men should be and the process of bringing in greater openness and vulnerability into relationships. We talk in this episode predominantly from a heterosexual perspective but invite everyone into this conversation about the masculine and feminine balance within ourselves and our relationships.

Hello loves! As we come to the end of season 3, I thought it would be timely to record a solo episode for you. This episode is all about Re-mothering. Our earlier experiences can mean that we struggle to know how to nuture or mother ourselves. In this episode I guide you through practical ways to do this physically, emotionally and spiritually and guide you through a short nurture re-mothering practice. www.thespiritualpsychologist.co.uk #remothering #reparenting #healing

In this episode Ryan talks about his journey from extreme gym life and addiction to holistic wellbeing.  Ryan talks about how as his physical body grew in size this very much reflected the significant pain he was feeling within himself and his gradual journey of healing from addictions through doing the inner work.  Such an insightful episode - check it out!

In this episode I speak with Haila Macedo, embodiment guide.  In this episode we dive into the mother wound and the connection with our relationship with food and body.  We dive into understanding the impact of the mother wound and of bringing awareness of the standards and expectations that we hold of ourselves to, the grieving of this expectation and learning to follow your own values and desires.

This is a powerful episode that looks deeper at the importance of working with the mother wound.  Thank you Haila for your insight and thoughts on this very important and so often overlooked topic.

In this Episode I speak with gorgeous Rachelbednarski, embodiment coach who supports women to come home to their bodies.  We talk about Rachel's journey through an eating disorder, calorie restriction, exercise addiction and chronic fatigue syndrome.  

In this episode we explore the disconnection we can experience during an eating disorder and from exercise addiction - how we can become stuck in repeated harmful patterns of behaviour in order to feel safe and in control.  Rachel talks about her journey to greater and deeper connection with her body and how we also support clients on the Art of Integration through bringing in different modalities of healing through connection with mind, body and soul.  We talk about connecting with our bodies to return to safety.
