Episode 157 | The Mind-Body Connection in Trauma with Maria Atkinson, LCSW

from Psych Talk · host Dr. Jessica Rabon

In today's episode of Psych Talk, I chat with Maria Atkinson, LCSW all about trauma. We discuss her journey to becoming a licensed clinical social worker specializing in trauma, what the phrase "trauma is stored in your body" really means, and the mind-body connection when it comes to trauma. Maria discusses what mindfulness is, how it can be beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma, and guides listeners through a Safe Space meditation. Additionally, Maria discusses how breath work can be beneficial to regulate our nervous system. Further, as a certified yoga instructor, Maria also discusses trauma-sensitive yoga and how that can be beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma.
