A Chat About Trauma and Yoga - a podcast by Cat Mead

In this episode I talk about how trauma is held in the body and what can happen with our nervous system when we have traumatic stress responses. We'll look at the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and look at the reasons why a yoga practice (among other things) can be helpful for people dealing with trauma, stress & anxiety.

I'd love your feedback - head to www.theyinmethod.com/feedback - the poll at the top is asking whether you'd like to see the podcast remain as only really being focused on yin yoga or if you'd like to see some other topics introduced - thanks!

Here are some of the people and resources I mentioned in this episode:

BOOK - How To Do The Work
INSTA - The Holistic Psychologist
Peter Levine - Somatic Experiencing
Unlocking Us (podcast episode w/ Oprah & Dr. Bruce D. Perry)
Yoga International Article
BOOK - The Body Keeps the Score
