‘Sharing Our Collective Wisdom:A Call To Action’ with Jan Winhall, Ruth Lanius, and Elspeth Bradley

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀
Every month, Jan Winhall (author of Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model) interviews guests who contribute to our understanding about trauma and addiction. She then opens the conversation to the group for questions and discussion in this live zoom event that runs for 1 hour.
The Felt Sense Polyvagal Approach to Trauma & Addiction group is a place for you to explore with others, through a polyvagal lens, the experiences of trauma and addiction, understanding addiction through the lens of the nervous system, as an adaptive response to maladaptive environments.

My friend Elspeth Bradley and I recently spent an afternoon with Ruth Lanius and we had such a wonderful time exploring our shared journeys! Some themes emerged that are close to my heart:
Exploring the Power of Presence.
Creating safe spaces for women to reflect on our experiences as therapists, researchers, clients, in a patriarchal system.
How to create change through social movements.
I asked them if they would be interested in continuing our conversation and including you, dear friends, in our passionate dialogue. They agreed wholeheartedly!
Ruth will share her journey as a neuroscientist and clinician dedicated to working with trauma, Elspeth will share her background as a radical psychiatrist, devoted to working with neurodivergent populations, and I will share my journey as a deeply somatic and polyvagal informed trauma therapist.
We will each start by giving a brief description of what we are most passionate about after decades of working in the field. Then we will open up our discussion so you all have a chance to explore and create with us. Together we will engage in an embodied collective dialogue.
