Somatic Witch: Andrea Glik

I was so glad to sit down and talk with Andrea Glik. They are so many things including the creator of the wildly popular and deeply resonant instagram account @somaticwitch, where they give us frequent doses of wisdom about the nervous system and working through trauma. Andrea Glik, LMSW is a psychotherapist, somatic healer, sex educator, and witch living and practicing on occupied Lenape territory (NYC). Andrea specializes in treating trauma and PTSD for queer & trans folks, using body based and feminist therapy practices to help clients come home to themselves. insta: @somaticwitch website: www.andreaglik.com workshops for purchase: https://www.andreaglik.com/shop LITQB Podcast: This is a podcast about the barriers to embodiment and how our collective body stories can bring us back to ourselves. This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another.
