Summary

In today's episode Emily interviews relationship coach Stefanos Sifandos who has over 20 years of direct experience in the personal transformation space guiding people into deeper intimacy and healing. He is a trained educator and somatic and trauma-informed relationship expert with a background in behavioral science and philosophy. He is passionate about leading people closer to their highest potential and each other.

We explore nervous system regulation tactics to calm the body like box breathing, grounding in nature and a “foghorn” visualization bringing us home. Stephanos explains trauma imprinting behaviors by imprinting our body/mind. He uses breathwork and somatic modalities to “close the loop” on traumatic responses. Our conversation covers masculine/feminine energetic dynamics - addressing inner child wounds first before authentic relating can unfold.

Stephanos shares how becoming attuned to the body’s signals can reveal when past trauma is triggered unconsciously. He gives the example of exhaling during intense Muay Thai sparring to instantly self-regulate.

Additional topics include cold plunging, mindfulness for body communion, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Stephanos stresses that conscious partnerships require ongoing personal work as more layers inevitably emerge in relating.
