I haven't recorded any podcasts for months now due to my own struggle with my mental health, and on the road of finding answers and recovery, I met Marijn. She is a trauma therapist and specialised in a method called Somatic Experiencing. We had a wonderful conversation around mental health, what is trauma, prevention from trauma, and how SE can help with releasing the energies that are locked inside our bodies. Hope you enjoy this and learn something that can be useful to you.

Great longer movie about how SE works with clips from nature and a demonstration with a veteran. Very impressive!
