Dr Pat Ogden is a pioneer in somatic psychology, the developer of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and one of the leading voices revolutionising our approach to trauma treatment.

You’ll learn:
— How the body starts to “shape” itself based on our relationship with our early caregivers
— The underlying principles that sensorimotor psychotherapy is built upon
— Why how we organise our experiences may be the most important factor in our mental health and wellbeing
— How sensorimotor psychotherapy helps to elicit unconscious and implicit patterns, so that healing can take place.
And more.

Ross Douthat is a New York Times columnist, author, and podcast host.
His latest book, "Believe," presents a rational case for faith in an increasingly secular world, drawing on evidence from science, philosophy, and human experience to make a compelling argument for the existence of God.
In this conversation, we explore:
— Why the strongest case for God rests at the intersection of multiple converging lines of evidence
— How the "hard problem of consciousness" challenges purely materialist explanations of reality
— Why being "spiritual but not religious" might be a reasonable starting point but not a desirable permanent state
— The importance of discernment in navigating the spiritual landscape
— How Ross's five-year battle with Lyme disease transformed his relationship with God
And more.
You can find Ross's work in his New York Times column, his book "Believe," and his podcast "Interesting Times."
