Beyond Talk Therapy: Healing Through the Nervous System and Somatic Work
Summary
What if you’ve tried talk therapy for years but still feel stuck?
Listen in as therapist, Catherine Lucey, LMFT, and host Mandi Pratt unpack the healing practices that go beyond talk therapy: bringing the body, self-compassion, and community into the process.
You’ll learn:
The three lenses of healing: nervous system regulation, self-compassion (through Internal Family Systems), and community.
A simple interrupt + orient + safety practice you can use daily to calm your body in minutes.
How movement, nature, creativity, and even surfing can help regulate the nervous system.
What questions to ask when seeking a trauma-informed, body-based therapist.
Whether you’ve experienced trauma yourself, or you support others on their healing journey, this episode is filled with practical tools and gentle reminders: you are not broken, and healing doesn’t have to be another overwhelming “to-do.”
