In this episode, we interview Katt Townsend, a licensed clinical social worker and somatic attachment therapist. We discuss the importance of somatic therapy and how it can help us connect with our bodies and heal trauma. We also learn what the heck polyvagal therapy is and how it relates to fight, flight, and shutdown responses.
Katt shares her personal journey and the inspiration behind her business, Flip Flow Wellness. She provides us with her best hits for regulating her nervous system while running a business. Plus we learn a routine for how to stay regulated while we enjoy our summer travel plans.
