The History of Somatics: The Pioneers

Happy Satiated Sunday! I'm so excited for you to listen to the first episode on the history of somatics. It is fascinating to see just how far we've come in the world of somatics. When the idea that the body has wisdom to offer was first introduced, some of the original pioneers of somatics came out with some wild ideas. In this week’s episode, we will explore 7 pioneers who created and grew the field of somatics. I will talk about what they created and how they practiced with others to support them in tapping into their bodies and supporting them toward growth and healing. You will begin to see the overlaps and influences in some of the popularized somatic approaches that we know today.You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-history-of-somatics-the-pioneersNext week, we will continue this mini-series exploring the movement influences on the field of somatics such as dance movement therapy, Feldenkrais, authentic movement, yoga and so much more.With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxResources:Psychology of the Unconscious by Carl JungGestalt Therapy Verbatim by Fritz PerlsFocusing by Eugene GendlinBioenergetics by Alexander LowenA Manual of Bioenergetic Exercises by Alexander LowenThe Betrayal of the Body by Alexander LowenYour Body Speaks Its Mind by Stanley KelemanEmotional Anatomy by Stanley Keleman Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: [email protected] the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...
