My guest today is Dr. Paul Canali. Dr. Canali has been involved in trauma and stress research for over 30 years. During that time, he has researched, developed, and practiced some of the most reproducible and effective forms of trauma therapy. When it comes to trauma- we often think it only refers to huge tragic events like experiencing physical violence, a major accident, or a disaster. While these are forms of "big T" trauma, there are "little t" traumas that we all experience. These can be things like a breakup, the death of a pet, losing a job, or getting bullied. The reality is that we have all experienced traumatic experiences and ended up holding on to them until we were no longer even aware that they were affecting our lives. For anyone who seeks to live a live of freedom, connection, and love, this work is for you.

While trauma has recently become a key focus in psychology, neurology, and overall health and wellness, Dr Paul has been studying the field for decades, in fact, since before there even was a field.

Dr Paul talks us through his approach, somatic healing, how psychedelics can be complimentary to the work, and he pays tribute to other pioneers in the field, like Bessel van der Kolk, Gabor Maté, and Dan Siegal to name a few. This one goes deep so settle in.

Unbuckle your mind, and open your heart, it's grow time!
