A Touch-Starved Nation - CK Unmuted

What this episode covers

“Americans are touch-starved and emotion-phobic” says Transformative Touch Practitioner Noël Wight. I think she’s right. Having worked most of my professional life with immigrant communities who touch, kiss, hug and caress a lot, I’m often a little chilled by my fellow Americans’ reluctance to touch and express emotion. Listen to my interview with Noël when you have a quiet, unhurried moment. My own experience with somatic therapy has been life changing.~ CKResources:* Noël’s website: thesomatictherapycenter.com* Books: * The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk* The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting by Alice Miller* Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory by Deb Dana Thank you for subscribing.
