We’re delighted to share with you a newly-released podcast interview with Kathy, as part of the current CASAT Conversations series, “The Impact of Trauma on Our Humanity.” We invite you to enjoy the whole series, where you will hear a variety of voices offering support to people in the helping professions, who have borne an especially heavy load through the upheaval of recent events.

In Episode 3, “Under the Influence of Survival Physiology,” you’ll hear Heather Haslem and Kathy discuss trauma in a somatic context, and share thoughts about how practitioners can maintain their own balance while helping their clients find resilience after trauma. As therapists, bodyworkers, and healers, how do you engage in a deep way with the material your clients are processing, without becoming depleted yourself? What do you observe in yourself as your work-life unfolds, and how do you recognize when your own system needs attention? And how do you do the self-care that keeps you balanced, so that you can be present and vibrant yourself? We think you’ll find a wealth of insight in their discussion, and we hope that you find something new to support you in your work.

You can tune in to “Under the Influence of Survival Physiology” with Kathy on the CASAT Conversations website, here, or via many popular podcast platforms.
