In this encore episode, Kim Bevans shares her expertise on incorporating somatic interventions into traditional talk therapy, exploring common misconceptions and the profound healing impact of therapists using their own embodiment. We discuss practical tips for therapists looking to enrich their toolkit with somatic techniques and emphasize the importance of therapists having their own movement practices. We also look at various somatic interventions, including movement, identifying body sensations, and using expressive therapy approaches.
