In this week’s episode, we welcome Dr. Rochelle Calvert, a licensed clinical psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and somatic experiencing practitioner, to explore the deep connection between trauma healing, mindfulness, and nature-based therapy.
Dr. Calvert has spent over 20 years studying and teaching mindfulness, helping people reconnect with their bodies and the natural world to heal trauma at its core.
Here’s what we’ll cover in the video:
Mindfulness & Trauma – Why traditional mindfulness alone may not be enough for trauma recovery and how somatic experiencing bridges the gap.
The Healing Power of Nature – How stepping outside can regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and provide deep emotional support.
Mindful Eating & Connection to Food – A transformative approach to eating that shifts the focus from control to connection, helping break free from compulsive patterns.
Practical Steps to Engage with Nature – Simple ways to incorporate nature into daily life for improved mental and emotional well-being.
If you’re looking for a holistic approach to healing trauma, understanding why mindfulness alone isn’t always enough, or practical tools to connect with your body and nature for deeper healing, this episode is for you.
