"To grow our capacity to feel and still feel safe."
Stephanie Mankarios is an interesting guest to the show as she brings a wealth of knowledge from her Somatic Trauma Practitioner background and specialization in the nervous system and secure attachment. She works with individuals and groups to help them guide their nervous systems back to safety.
