  • Somatic Experiencing - Healing Trauma through the Body's Wisdom - cover

    Somatic Experiencing - Healing...

    Trauma is a deeply impactful event that can leave lasting scars on the body and mind. While traditionally associated with physical injury or life-threatening events, trauma also encompasses psychological and emotional experiences that overwhelm the body's ability to cope. These experiences can range from major events, such as accidents, abuse, or natural disasters, to more subtle forms of chronic stress and neglect. Regardless of the cause, trauma has profound effects on the nervous system and the way individuals experience the world around them. 
When a person faces a traumatic event, their body enters a state of heightened alertness, preparing to respond with fight, flight, or freeze reactions. These responses are governed by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is responsible for managing involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, respiration, and digestion. In a traumatic situation, the ANS activates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), triggering the fight or flight response to protect the individual. If neither response is possible, the freeze response takes over, which can lead to feelings of paralysis or disassociation. These instinctual reactions are designed to protect, but when the trauma is unresolved, the nervous system may remain stuck in a heightened state of alertness. 
The effects of trauma are not just psychological but are also deeply physiological. When the body remains in this heightened state of arousal, it can disrupt the normal functioning of various bodily systems, leading to symptoms such as chronic pain, tension, digestive issues, or sleep disturbances. This state of dysregulation can also affect the brain, impairing areas responsible for memory, emotional regulation, and decision-making. The longer this state persists, the more difficult it becomes for the individual to return to a sense of normalcy, and the trauma can become entrenched in both the body and mind.

    Finding Your Third Place -...

    Do you have a Third Place? Your first place is home, your second place is work, and your third place is where you go to socialize. As more of our lives are spent online and in digital spaces, these often overlooked "Third Places" play a crucial role in keeping our communities vibrant. In a timely and thoughtful examination, Richard Kyte, PhD, explores the places that nurture our souls and make up the bedrock of our communities. Third Places can range from a neighborhood tavern, to a community center, to a local bookstore or coffee shop. They are the critical gathering spaces where friendships are formed, relationships are nurtured, and the tapestry of community is woven. Yet, for an ever-growing list of reasons, many people today find themselves without a third place of their own. At a time when our nation is facing an epidemic of loneliness, when communities are suffering from loss of trust, low levels of engagement, despair, and political polarization, what if the answer to many of our problems lies in a simple idea? What if we just need to pay attention to the places where we find ourselves?
