Have you ever heard of somatic therapy? Join the girls this week as they welcome a guest, Angela Rockwell, somatic therapist to learn all about the mind body experience of somatic therapy. Ever get a whiff of a familiar smell and immediately feel your shoulders tense and jaw clench, but not really sure why? Maybe somatic therapy is for you! Angela includes some examples we can all relate to, a mindfulness practice, and they even tells us a little bit about psychedelics!

We are all more than one thing. But when we deny the many parts of ourselves, we live a life less full than the one we deserve. It’s important to Angela Rockwell to fully embrace and embody their authentic self so they can support others to do so too. For Angela, that looks like asking about clients’ masturbation habits in session, learning the difference between a hotdog and a problem, and even pole-dancing in the bedroom (but then posting that to Instagram). We talk about our public sexual exploits, finding safety in breath, owning their queerness and sexuality, and even how to break a pen*s.

We spent some time with Olivia from Therapy Access Project discussing our decision to divest from licensure and how that informs our therapeutic coaching model. This interview gets into harm reduction, and mentions of self harm and loss of life. While we’re stoked to share this discussion, it might be a bit heavy for some folks. Tread lightly.
