I had an
educational and fascinating discussion with Dr. Arielle
Schwartz about her journey into the amazing work that she is
doing today, which included the trauma experienced as a result of
being the child of a healthy divorce, and how living in two
households impacted her psychologically and psychologically.
She explained how we store trauma in the connective tissues,
the fascia, how this affects our bodies, and how this leads to
headaches, migraines and chronic pain. She shared the why and
how therapeutic yoga works and how the poses and breathing truly
helps with healing our bodies from whatever we have experienced in
the past. We talked about why EMDR (Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing) which it was the first time
that I learned this, and why vagus nerve exercises should be
part of our daily self care routine! Dr. Schwartz, is a
psychologist, an internationally sought-out teacher, a yoga
instructor, and leading voice in the healing of PTSD and complex
trauma. She is the author of six books, including EMDR Therapy and
Somatic Psychology, The Post Traumatic Growth Guidebook, and
Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery that I just finished reading
and loved. You can find and learn more about Dr. Schwartz on
her webside at www.drarielleschwartz.com on
Facebook or on YouTube where she has many recordings of
her yoga practice and more. Please look into her upcoming Vagus
Nerve Course in August of 2023!
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did, and if you did, please share it, and rate it to help me and my guest inspire as many people as possible to do this work.
