In this episode I am joined by Melissa Romano to talk about trauma, what it means, how it happens and to talk about her approach to helping people heal.
Melissa Romano is a Trauma-Informed Mind Body Therapist and a Master of Social Work student. She has extensive certifications in personal training, corrective exercise, yoga therapy, nervous system regulation, and somatic trauma therapy. She focuses on mind body health and teaches that health is not a size or weight, but how you feel on a cellular level and how you feel moving through your days.
We discuss:
- What trauma is and the types of trauma she sees with her clients.
- Why she thinks there is so much awareness around trauma and healing from trauma these days.
- How someone knows if they are suffering from trauma and what unprocessed trauma is.
- How unprocessed/unreleased trauma affects a person's body and brain.
- Her approach to working with clients.
- Nervous system system regulation, why it is important and how a dysregulated nervous system affects a person's life.
- Why it is important to reparent ourselves.
