A Somatic Approach to Coaching Divorce Overwhelm with Michelle Browning
Show Notes

We have a treat for you this week. Tracy is joined by fellow Divorce Coach Michelle Browning who also happens to be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

They discuss the physical experience of divorce and how Michelle's practices help clients come into alignment with their nervous systems.

Michelle says "we're not logical, we're biological" and we can't ignore how the physical body is impacted by all the restructuring that divorce brings. Have you ever been told to "calm down" when you're having a normal human reaction to something? We find out that's a big personal trigger for Tracy. Michelle explains how and why our nervous system gets triggered or activated and how we can create safety in our bodies to return to a more flexible, problem-solving state of being.

When clients' bodies and nervous systems are activated, they may think and behave in ways they normally wouldn't. Michelle explains how this can lead to shame which can feed the conflict cycle.

Listen in for some great coaching tips and for more information about Michelle's upcoming 4-week class at DCA™ - Coaching Divorce Overwhelm: A Somatic Approach which begins on March 13.
