Episode 7: Tender Touch, Practice vs Performance, and The Skill of Tracking | Aaron Johnson

Episode 6: Tapping, Embodied Healing Practices, and The Value of Re-Membering | Damon Silas
“We are whole mind, body, soul beings. And so to just do therapy with the frontal part of the brain is doing the rest of the body a disservice.

Episode 2: It’s Ok to Not Know (Yet), with Justin Farren
SHOW NOTES:
“I felt like I was out of control and I didn’t want anybody else to think I was out of control. So that was just young Justin not being comfortable with: 'I don’t know.'
