Healing Trauma & Shame with Brian D. Mahan

Today I talk with Brian D. Mahan. He is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. 

I wanted to talk to Brian because he is a treasure trove of information on healing trauma. Trauma is something all humans experience, but gay people and people labeled as “the other” tend to experience more than our fair share of it.

Brian is a self-described “wounded healer” who describes how we can use our bodies as a conduit to the wisdom of our intuition. Since our intuition is where the answers to happiness live, I wanted to hear more about reclaiming our true selves. And, I was not disappointed.

We talked about:

  • What is Somatic Therapy?  [1:32]

  • Why deal with trauma? [17:38]

  • Sex and shame [27:07]

  • Feeling Intuition [33:47]

  • Being a wounded healer [39:57]

  • Boundaries [46:37]
