Fail With Me (16) - Healing Power of Somatics
Manage episode 424417808 series 3569515
Today, we have the privilege of welcoming Abbie Westgate as our guest speaker. Abbie is a former UK police sergeant who served for six years.
She was incredibly passionate about her work and was promoted within three years, but fell seriously ill a year later from stress, burnout and trauma caused by events in her personal and professional life.
On her road to recovery, she discovered a completely different approach to healing than the one we were taught in the police - working with the body/somatics and the nervous system.
This became her new passion, and two years later, she walked away from what was once her dream job to run her own coaching business - guiding frontline workers to become more resilient to stress and burnout using the same modalities that supported her.
