#86: C-PTSD, Emotional Flashbacks & a Somatic Approach to Healing with Yoga Therapist, Rachel Bilski

Rachel Bilski is a qualified yoga therapist, manager of the UK’s national PTSD charity, supervisor to yoga therapists in training and philosophy lecturer for The Minded Institute, one of the leading Yoga Therapy institutions worldwide."I began living yoga and mindfulness after a life-changing retreat helped shift me out of chronic depression and debilitating anxiety. Little did I know at the time that these conditions were in fact expressions of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD); probably why a decade of Prozac and talking therapy did little other than make me feel completely inadequate as a human being. Broken beyond repair." In this honest and insightful conversation, Rachel shares how she found healing through a somatic approach to recovery from C-PTSD. Today, Rachel's mission is to empower others to discover their own innate capacity for healing, growth and personal transformation. In this wide ranging conversation, we discuss:What is Complex-PTSD?Emotional flashbacksAttachment trauma Building healthy relationships with C-PTSDTrauma & addictionA somatic approach to healingRecovery as a processEmbracing all of our partsDance therapy Visit the links below to connect with Rachel and learn more about her work:Website: www.downtoearthyogatherapy.comInstagram: @downtoearth.yogatherapy___Join the Spring Hiking Retreat in Colorado: https://sunandmoonsoberliving.com/spring-mountain-retreat/Follow Sun & Moon Sober Living on Instagram: @sunandmoon.soberliving__Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
