Stacey Madden | Somatics, Our Nervous System & The Poly-Vagal Ladder | Ep. #7
Stacey and I took a deep dive into understanding somatics, the nervous system and the polyvagal ladder, or the fight/flight/freeze/faun/shutdown response and what it means to be trauma-informed. We shift gears for a little near the end and discuss intersectional feminism, racism, biases and navigating opinions around trans rights. Talking with Stacey was such a pleasure and I was really surprised with how she explained certain concepts. Her thorough and digestible descriptions truly made this episode one to re-listen to and take notes on.
