#7 - The Body's Gravestones
Manage episode 362643863 series 3455099
Max and Liana continue their conversation about the body and the special role it plays in healing. They touch on the body and its capacities to remember and store trauma as well as can serve as a means to release it. Max explains the gravestones metaphor in relation to the body. The topic of a trauma-sensitive approach is briefly discussed as well as several practical tools on how to deal with strong or overwhelming emotions or a freaked-out mind. Liana shares what led her to change the way she related to her body, her addiction to stress, being alerted to a traumatic experience preserved in the body and the ways she worked with it.
