Join Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps The Score, and Dr. Scott Lyons, author of Addicted to Drama and founder of The Embody Lab, in this intimate online conversation to explore the power of somatics to heal trauma, heal past wounds, and create a brighter more resilient future for yourself and others!

After years of trying different therapies for his debilitating anxiety without success, Dr. Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain.

Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Russ realized that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two. He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem―at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they’d never truly heal anxiety.

Wanting to make a difference for the millions who suffer from anxiety disorder, Russ created Anxiety Rx, a book that blends his personal story with medical science, neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Readers learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts―in the process they begin to heal old trauma and gain a sense of control previously unknown.

You know those problems in your life that never change, no matter what you try? What if they are actually where your greatest growth and transformation can be found? It turns out that being stuck is not an endpoint, it’s a clue. Wherever there is something in your life that is impossible to think, or feel, or do, you are finding the exact spot where the next steps in your life are waiting to unfold.

Untangling®, a practice that can enable what is hopelessly stuck to untangle itself, was created by two internationally recognized innovators and teachers in the field of inner awareness. They developed the Untangling method to free themselves from their long-term struggles with depression, writer’s block, food, and alcohol. Based on 30 years of teaching, practice, and exploration, Untangling shows you how to create the environment in which impasse can transform into flow.

Join The Embody Lab Founder and author, Dr. Scott Lyons and author Dr. Nicole LePera in this intimate and insightful discussion on How To Be The Love You Seek, Dr. Nicole LePera’s new book.

How to Be the Love You Seek offers a new path to healing our relationships. Harnessing the latest scientific research, it teaches us to recognize how unmet needs from our earliest relationships create our current, dysfunctional relationship patterns, and leave us in a state of constant internal threat, even with those closest to us.

This book illuminates the way out of trauma bonds and into relationships rooted in mutual respect and compassion. In it, you will learn how to create safety in your own body and mind; identify your unmet needs; develop emotional resilience; cultivate heart coherence to build deep emotional connections with others; and maintain healthy interdependence in our communities.

Join Rae Johnson PhD, in an intimate conversation about their new book, Embodied Activism and discover how to engage the body to cultivate liberation, justice, and authentic connection.

In this conversation, Rae will explore what inspired them to write Embodied Activism. They’ll unpack the idea of microactivism and how can it help us reframe how social change works, plus they’ll discuss the five elements of embodied activism and how can we practice them.

We’ll also explore the idea of somatic bandwidth and how can it help us navigate difficult interactions across social differences.

We all know someone addicted to drama—someone who creates mountains out of molehills and whose very presence feels like an inescapable tornado of chaos. Perhaps it’s a family member, someone we work with, or even ourselves.
