I love so much about this post Sarah. My 88-year-old mom just moved in with me; I am both learning about more realities of trauma in her past, and thus my epigenetics. I am working on giving her language around healing since she is not interested in therapy.
I appreciated this insight, “my fear and stress had triggered the latent racism and entitlement stored in my body.” I definitely think more white women need to understand how that works. I practice somatics with a volunteer group and have taken a few courses and have done a lot of core energetics therapy. I like what you’re doing here. I’m glad I found you.
I’m glad we found each other too Nancy! I'd love to hear more and perhaps chat sometime. If you're interested you can grab a "Discovery Call" slot on my calendly: https://shourdsomatics.com
