275: Breaking the Trauma Cycle: The Power of Somatic Psychology with Dr. Brian Tierney

Have you ever wondered how past experiences live in your body—and how you can release them? In this episode, we dive deep into somatic psychology—exploring how the body stores trauma and how movement, breath, and awareness can unlock healing. We discuss different therapy modalities, bodywork, and practices that support deep healing—helping you understand how to process stored emotions and reconnect with your body’s wisdom. Dr. Brian Tierney bridges the gap between ancient magic and modern psychotherapy. As a professor of clinical neuroscience, psychological assessment, and psychopharmacology, Dr. Tierney introduces an innovative paradigm for trauma healing, somatic psychology, neuroscience, and social artistry in his upcoming book, "Visionary Somatics."
