S4E10: Tapping Into Your Greatest Self Defense Tool with Linda Leu - a podcast by Terri Lomax & Dr. Dominique Broussard
from 2019-12-06T05:00
In this week’s episode, Terri and Dom are joined by Linda Leu, the Executive Director of IMPACT Bay Area. In Spring 2019 Dom and Terri participated in IMPACT’s first self-defense class specifically for women of color.
Linda led that course. In this conversation, the ladies reflect on that experience but more importantly, Linda shares information about self-defense techniques beyond the physical skills.
She also explains what happens to many of us who experience the freeze response and how we can work our way through it. This is definitely an episode you want to listen through to the end.
