Where Science Meets Soul – An Intro to Somatic Therapy & Energy Healing

Welcome to the first episode of the new season of Dear Therapist — a podcast where psychology, somatic healing, and energy work come together to support deep, lasting transformation.I’m Jasmin Schott Carvalheiro, a clinical psychologist, certified Somatic Experiencing trauma therapist, coach, and shamanic energy healer. After a long pause, I’m bringing this podcast back to life — and in this opening episode, I want to reintroduce myself and my work, so you can get a sense of who I am and how I support people on their healing journey.In future episodes, we’ll dive deeper into specific topics. But this first conversation sets the foundation: why I bring together science and soul, how somatic therapy changed everything for me and my clients, and what I believe healing truly requires — especially in these intense and transformational times.We’ll explore:Why somatic trauma therapy is so effectiveWhy releasing trauma too fast, too strongly, or alone can recreate the conditions of the original woundHow ancestral, collective, and energetic imprints can live in our systemWhy we need to reconnect with the body to truly healAnd at the end, we’ll do a short body scan practice together — something you can return to anytime you need grounding and reconnection.This space is for anyone seeking clarity, truth, and depth — whether you're a therapist, coach, healer, client, or simply interested in holistic healing methods.Thank you for being here.
