Summary

This week I welcome Embodiment Coach and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Tami Amanda to the podcast. Tami walks us through her own experience with therapy and the ways she still felt stuck in her shame after therapy. This led Tami to the realization that something deeper may have been missing. After working with immigrant and refugee children in somatic therapy, she saw children heal deep childhood trauma without ever talking about what happened. This led Tami to ask the question, how do we look inside for our healing? This week, we dive into the complexities and benefits of somatic therapy and we get curious about some of the limits of talk therapy. Discover: How to move through triggers and activation How to embody and integrate the work How to actually change and be a self healer Follow your own breadcrumbs Thoughts, mistakes, instagram and victim blaming The greatest source of pain from childhood You cannot trauma your way out of trauma Why it's about the small steps and little moments first The magic sauce: It's all about the 5 senses The mirrors to our own "check list" Find Tami on Instagram @tamisasson_ or on her website at www.tamiamandawellness.com.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast.
0:12.5	You know, the journey of healing we often think is linear, but it's anything but that we think it's like we're climbing a stair to some sort of,
0:22.9	you know, elevated higher state where all of a sudden all hurts will not affect us and being
0:28.9	human will cease to be, but will still be in our bodies, which is sort of an irony, that
0:34.3	that we think some sort of elevated state is to not feel you know i think about how
0:39.2	ecart tole speaks to this subjective like that being the activation of your pain body when you're
0:47.1	triggered and really it's about the observation of your trigger or your response rather than the
0:53.4	dissolution of it, where it doesn't
0:54.9	exist anymore. So if you believe you're unhealed because you still get triggered, know that your
1:01.6	trigger actually exists to protect you. It's like a warning sign, but how you respond to it is really
1:08.6	where the evolution occurs. And, you know, as I said at the beginning, healing is not linear.
1:14.6	It is a very convoluted process.
1:17.6	And, you know, when we take a first step and we might go in the wrong direction,
1:22.6	we think that we failed and we start over, but you don't.
1:25.6	You actually continue to the next step that you know
1:29.3	is the next right step because you took, quote unquote, the wrong step. And this is why decisions
1:35.3	that we make that lead us to other areas of our life to different places, we often only
1:41.0	celebrate the ones that go well, but the ones that don't go well actually lead you
1:46.1	to the ones that go well.
1:48.0	It's this strange sort of paradox,
1:50.7	but in a lot of ways, we're resistant to having challenging feelings,
1:56.3	having challenging experiences in life.
