Healing Trauma by Listening to Our Bodies with Irene Lyon

“Our bodies are the ones that know. Our brains can figure stuff out. […] But the body is what stores the deep, deep intelligence. And we've gotten away from trusting what it wants to tell us.”
- Irene Lyon

What if we stopped listening to our heads and instead listened to our bodies? Irene Lyon, MSC and nervous system expert, teaches people around the world how to work with the nervous system to transform trauma, heal body and mind, and live full, creative lives. Irene has a Master’s Degree in Biomedical and Health Science and also has a knack for making complex info easy for ALL of us to understand and apply to our lives. She has extensively studied and practices the works of Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais, Peter Levine (founder of Somatic Experiencing) and Kathy Kain (founder of Somatic Practice). In this conversation, Irene and I talk about how we experience trauma in our bodies, and how we can sometimes process that trauma in our heads but forget to help our bodies heal from it as well. We also talk about how that unhealed trauma can resurface decades later as a physical thing that we struggle to resolve because we don't realize the true nature of its root cause. There is so much gold in this conversation. Drink it up.

“When we can't express the hurt… that's one reason why [the body] stores it.”
