Dennis and Tina introduce themselves and attempt to sum up 46 years and how they arrived at the somatic approach to “healing” for themselves and to supporting and coaching others - including Dennis’ aversion to touch and watching his life patterns play out, to Tina’s first “mid life” crisis, her genetic illness and how somatics helps engage with a body with complex health.
They go one to chat around the big question of “What is Healing, and What isn’t it?” They discuss how they dislike the word “healing” but fail to find a better one, and that what healing is, is not as simple a question as it sounds, but it definitely isn’t about fixing.Quantum physics somehow crops up in the conversation as does Dr. Richard Schwartz, the creator of the healing model Internal Family Systems.
Tina and Dennis also aim to introduce the somatic approach and what it means to them and how it informs their work as coaches, inviting awareness, curiosity and how the bodies’ intelligence is important, especially as our minds are so fallible!
They end the podcast with the wildly popular segment: Answering a Listener Question!
