Summary

In this episode, we're talking to Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), Ilene Smith! Somatic Healing provides the foundation to help resolve trauma symptoms and relieve chronic stress and pain in the body. Through her work, Ilene is able to support the body tissue memory and nervous system to create synergy between the body and mind. Ilene’s book, Moving Beyond Trauma: The Roadmap to Healing from Your Past and Living with Ease and Vitality, helps the reader develop a new relationship with their history and understand the importance of bringing the body into the healing process when trying to resolve issues related to trauma. The intention of this conversation is to better understand our relationship to running and if it indicates a need for somatic healing. This is a fascinating listen for runners, and anyone who knows something in their life doesn't feel right, feels disconnected from their experiences, or like they don't feel anything at times. We also touch on the link between eating disorders and trauma. Her book is hard to put down if you're a trauma survivor, or have ever struggled with an eating disorder, or a disordered relationship to exercise.
