Listen "Somatic Healing Experiences and Creating a Somatic Retreat for Therapists"
Episode Synopsis
Sara Sullivan, a licensed counselor in the state of Louisiana, delves into her transformative journey with somatic therapy. Drawing from her own experiences of trauma and healing, she emphasizes the role of body-centered practices like sound baths, breathwork, meditation, and restorative yoga in achieving holistic wellness. Sara's dedication to helping others experience similar healing led her to organize individual healing sessions for clients and the public, eventually leading to forming a retreat for mental health professionals. The retreat offers educational experiences in somatic therapies, allowing participants to explore new methods for self-restoration and client support. Sara's story underscores the therapeutic potential of harmonizing body awareness, sound, and movement with traditional counseling techniques.Sara Sullivan, MS, LPC:WebsiteFacebookEvents:Deep Peace EventsBreathe In for TherapistsAlix Walker's Moving Through Darkness EventsRestoration Retreats LA:WebsiteFacebookMentioned Helpers:Misty Hencke, MS, LPC-SChristine BordelonAlix Walker LinkedIn & VagaroReferences:What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo on GoodreadsThe Wesley Center
