Dr Pat Ogden is a pioneer in somatic psychology, the developer of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and one of the leading voices revolutionising our approach to trauma treatment. 

This conversation explores how sensorimotor psychotherapy can help us understand and treat attachment wounds - particularly those picked up in early life. 

You’ll learn: 

— How the body starts to “shape” itself based on our relationship with our early caregivers

— The underlying principles that sensorimotor psychotherapy is built upon

— Why how we organise our experiences may be the most important factor in our mental health and wellbeing

— How sensorimotor psychotherapy helps to elicit unconscious and implicit patterns, so that healing can take place.

And more.

This is just small space to speak about the biggest taboo subject in life: death. :-) 
Something we ALL will experience and we all will experience loss. But we silence death to death. Soundcliud is limited, I'm working on another platform to dedicate to this taboo subject we all face.
My # 1 subject is to STOP making bereaved people feel guilty when people without crisis want to have a good time but feel the bereaved spoil their party! Stop putting the burden and blame on bereaved, on sick, on vulnerable people so you can feel selfish. I cover a lot of anger, and it's time for bereaved people to keep speaking out. Louder.
