S2, Ep2: Zen Meditation, Somatic Experiencing & Early Developmental Trauma with Alex Greene

This week I am=joined by Alex Greene, who began studying the mind body connection in Hawaii in 2000 through Zen meditation and traditional martial arts.   This lead to a curiosity in structural bodywork.  Alex found that becoming certified in bodywork was the 'missing ingredient' in his practice at that time.  This lead to further comprehensive trainings in understanding the systems of the body.  He then became aware of the connection between hands-on bodywork and psycho-emotional trauma connected to the body.  This lead to many further advanced trainings such as, Somatic Experiencing, NARM, DARe, Brainspotting, Safe & Sound Protocol, and TRE.  You can read all about Alex's extensive trainings on his website:https://www.redbeardsomatictherapy.comDuring this deeply meaningful, warm and rich conversation, we discuss:Zen Mediation & mindfulness Martial Arts & movement Bodywork & the nervous systemSomatic Experiencing Early Developmental TraumaImplicit and explicit memoryAttunement Co-regulationRepair & recovery  I hope you enjoy the conversation!Alex also has an embodiment podcast you can listen to on the following links:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC2PAl90RM1NbZ6L0bsszykDzz-wLF47Qhttps://www.redbeardsomatictherapy.com/podcastSupport the showThanks for listening!Follow me on Facebook or Instagram.If you'd like to explore how my Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapy can support you, please get in touch to book a free consultation.Registration has now opened for our trauma-informed Certified Laughter Yoga Leader training in March.
