Nicole Lohse: Understanding Trauma & Harnessing Body’s Wisdom for Healing and Well-being

Experible with Krati Mehra

In this episode, we explore the depths of human behaviour, trauma response, and the power of self-awareness. Guest expert, Nicole Lohse offers a refreshing perspective on how to understand and navigate our survival patterns, emphasising the significance of listening to our body's language and recognising the interconnectedness of our physical and emotional experiences.

The conversation discusses differentiating trauma responses from daily reactions, understanding the role of an empathic witness, and the impact of physiological changes on our behaviour. This is not just an interview; it's a journey towards understanding the complexity of human patterns and the importance of embracing them as part of our growth process.

Listeners are invited to dive deep into their own experiences, as Nicole provides thoughtful insights and practical journaling prompts for self-exploration. Perfect for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and others, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for navigating life's challenges with more empathy and self-compassion.

Nicole Lohse is fascinated by the human experience and is committed to supporting you in creating change at cellular and energetic levels while guiding you to listen to your own internal wisdom. Her workshops and programs provide educational and experiential tools and practices that will move you out of survival, lead to more regulation within your nervous system, and have you recognize that you are a whole sovereign Being.

She enjoys weaving the spiritual in with the science as she shares the wisdom she has gained from her own personal journey thanks to the support of her incredible mentors and the learning that has happened through her training in Somatic Experiencing, The Feldenkrais Method®, Internal Family Systems, and in Yoga.
