This week we're welcoming Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Brian Mahan onto the show! In 2003, Brian suffered 7-10 panics attacks a day, following a catastrophic car wreck.

He has also studied extensively about healing developmental trauma and shame.

He is a speaker, educator and author with an international private practice, and has joined us today to discuss somatic experiencing, shame, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
