This podcast is a conversation between Merete Holm Brantbjerg and Susan Groves.
Merete is a bodyoriented trauma-therapist based in Copenhagen, Denmark,  and Susan is a Core Process Psychotherapist in Birmingham, England.

On October 10th 2020 Merete did an online presentation for the Association of Core Process Psychotherapists focusing on the inclusion of hypo-states in psychotherapy. In the presentation she mentioned how patterns of dominance and submission can be held in the body.  Shortly after this Susan invited Merete to a conversation with her on dominance, submission and social justice.

The conversation was recorded online on December 17th 2020. It lasts about 40 minutes and is quite discursive.  We didn’t have a fixed agenda and began by considering different aspects of dominance and submission. By the end, we spend time with the question:  where can support be found?  Our focus is largely on the white body and social justice as we both identify at least in part as white.

Having A Map Matters - Relational Trauma Therapy

Kathrin Stauffer, an experienced body psychotherapist living in Cambridge is interviewing Merete Holm Brantbjerg, a Danish body psychotherapist, specialized in working with stress and trauma. The topic for these 4 podcasts is the methodology Merete has developed around working with low energy states. 
How do we gain access to what we can no longer sense or feel?
How do we work practically with the hypo-patterns - in both the musclesystem (hypo-response) - and the autnomic nervoussystem (hypo-arousal)?
And how do we include the states of giving up and collapse in our conceptual map?
Merete Holm Brantbjerg  has developed an approach to traumatherapy called Relational Traumatherapy. A key element in the approach is giving equal attention to hyper- and hypo-states
