    Grief as a VERB: Healing Through the Power of Movement

    In this episode, I’m excited to introduce Richmond, a pioneering physiotherapist and founder of TRE Australia. Richmond is at the forefront of neurogenic or spontaneous movement, boasting a background in mental health, youth suicide prevention, and an Advanced Diploma in Aboriginal Studies. He's also the creator of the world's first online TRE course.  In this insightful conversation, we delve into the world of TRE, which stands for Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises. Richmond explains how simple exercises can lead to muscle fatigue, triggering natural shaking and trembling. These neurogenic tremors are not signs of weakness but the body’s way of dissipating tension and stress, aiding in calming the nervous system. We also explore the cultural perspectives on shaking and trembling, contrasting Western stigmatization with the acceptance and utilization of these natural processes in other cultures. Richmond shares fascinating examples from the Kalahari Bushmen to traditional Swahili midwives, highlighting the importance of allowing the body to release stress naturally. Join us as we discuss: - the balance between control and surrender - the physiological aspects of grief and loss - integrating grief and trauma - the role of movement when processing emotions - grief and psychedelics - grief as a verb - the physiology of laughter and crying - and how practices like TRE can help us reconnect with our bodies, move through trauma, and embrace life's inevitable challenges. Tune in for a deep dive into the body's natural healing processes and learn how to flow through life’s ups and downs.   To reach Richmond and access his free courses and podcasts: Free online TRE course www.trecourse.com Free podcasts & presentations from Richmond https://www.treaustralia.com/free-resources/ Contact Richmond  www.treaustralia.com
