About this week’s episode
Welcome to today’s episode of How to Deal with Grief and Trauma. I’m thrilled to be joined by Brittany Piper, a fellow practitioner in somatic healing. Britt and I share a deep commitment to body-based trauma recovery, both being trained in Somatic Experiencing® and Polyvagal Theory – no surprise given we both share a dedication to nervous system regulation and somatic healing. I’m sure that this will create a rich foundation for today’s discussion. Together, we’ll first hear Britt’s personal story and how she became who she is today. Then together we explore how the body holds and processes trauma, the role of polyvagal theory in grief and healing, and practical ways to reconnect with safety and resilience after loss and trauma.
