Episode 41: Heal the Body, Heal the Mind: Joanne Spence

We are excited to kick off Season 3 of Reframing our Stories: The Podcast. In this episode, Kara talks with Joanne on how trauma impacts our body and the way it can show up in our relationships with ourselves and others. It takes a while to work through our trauma and one of the first steps is to acknowledge where it shows up in our body by listening, paying attention, and breathing. Joanne Spence is a mental health professional and practitioner of yoga, and is the author of the book Trauma-Informed Yoga: A Toolbox for Therapists: 47 Simple Practices to Calm, Balance, and Restore the Nervous System. Her work has helped many people dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and insomnia. She has taught in various settings such as schools, churches, prisons, hospitals, and sometimes on street corners.  www.joannespence.comwww.yogainschools.org
