I hated yoga when I first found it. Yoga was inviting me to connect to my body in a way

that had me get in touch with my anxiety. And I didn't know how to do that so I had to like

run out of that yoga class. But in my mind, I was like, there's something there. Now I look back and

I go, they were doing somatic work there. They were helping us connect to our bodies and our nervous

systems and regulate it. How many times do you go to a therapist, sit down and talk about the

same thing and find that there that's not really improvement in your life? And how many times

is it going to take before we realize that talking will not get to the root of mental health issues?

And when we understand that the the root of mental health issues.

And when we understand that the root of these mental health issues actually lies in the body,

that's when transformative change begins.

On this episode of Heal Thyself, Halakori, a somatic-based therapist, comes on this show to talk exactly that.

We cover topics like, why isn't anxiety being addressed at the root?

Why is it so hard to make strong, long-lasting connections? Why do we feel disconnected and lonely more than ever? And how to start connecting with the root, which is in your body. How is an

expert in somatic therapy? She's passionate about social injustice. She's an adjunct professor at

Pitzer College. And she's the co-founder off the mat into the world. And the author of a new book,

Peace from Anxiety, Get Grounded, Build Resilience, and stay connected amidst all of the chaos.

If you feel like you've been doing therapy for years and you know deep down inside there's

something more in there, this is the episode for you.

We're going to uncover, unwrap, and expose what's in there and what to do about it.
