Susannah Freeman is joined by Marianne Amsdon, a licensed mental health counselor and somatic experiencing practitioner. Marianne shares insights into the role of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, as well as survival responses like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Through guided exercises, including the use of the “Voo” sound, listeners learn practical techniques to release tension, promote relaxation, and cultivate a deeper connection with their bodies. With an emphasis on self-care and gentle exploration, this episode offers invaluable tools for navigating life’s challenges and fostering greater ease and resilience.
