Integrating Trauma & Awakening The Heart (w/Simon Brown)
There's an intricate relationship between past trauma, our bodies, and the spiritual journey of awakening. Realizing the non-dual nature of existence and the illusion of self doesn't allow us to simply bypass the echoes of past trauma that can linger in the body like energetic knots, often manifesting as chronic pain, disability, mental illness, and emotional distress.\nOur guest, Simon Brown, shares his remarkable journey navigating the challenging terrain of complex childhood trauma. Through the convergence of therapy, somatic practice, and the profound insights gleaned from years of Buddhist practice, Simon shares invaluable insights on integrating trauma while opening our hearts to true vulnerability, authenticity, and joy.\nFind Simon on YouTube here and on Instagram (where you can DM him!)\nHere are some of the resources Simon mentioned in our conversation:\n\nTara Brach's video on healing trauma\n\nIrene Lyon's YouTube channel\n\nPeter Levine and somatic healing practices\n\nThe Body Keeps The Score\n\n\n\nVideo show archive, audio podcasts, music parodies, Supporter Tribe membership options, merch, social media, and email contact form:\xa0https://lnk.bio/zdoggmd\n\n\nSupport us with a 1-time donation and get a personal email response from me: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/zdoggmd\n\n\nMore about Dr. Z:\xa0https://zdoggmd.com/about-z/\n\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
