Healing Childhood Trauma Through Somatic Experiencing | Siamon Emery | AEM #120 | Piers Cross

How can we heal childhood trauma if we have tried many different therapies and nothing has worked? Today I am speaking with Siamon Emery, a globally experienced mentor talking about his journey through childhood trauma and recovery. Growing up with parents who were addicts meant that he lived through a lot of trauma. This impacted him in relationships, at work and mentally. Today he shares his fascinating journey of recovery - the practices he uses like yoga, somatic experiencing and how we too can start to regulate our nervous systems. ---Siamon Emery is a globally experienced mentor specializing in trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, and guiding high-performing entrepreneurs and leaders through personal and professional growth. His approach draws from a unique blend of lived experience, spiritual practice, and scientific study, shaped by years of immersing himself in diverse cultures and healing modalities across Costa Rica, India, and Australia. Questions for Siamon:I would love for you to share some of your journey.
