Marijn Schrieken: Your Body As Your Teacher

What our body communicates to us, through our nervous system, matters.

Our body is our biggest teacher.

It can help us understand and heal from different kinds of trauma. And guide us through everyday life, finding more relaxation and resilience. Moment by moment, day by day.

In this episode we explore how we can refind balance and resilience and the role of psychedelics in this process—both in high doses, and microdoses.

About Marijn Schrieken

Marijn Schrieken is a body oriented trauma therapist. She's trained in several modalities that have revolutionized trauma therapy, such as Somatic Experiencing by Peter Levine, NARM by Laurie Heller and the Polyvagal Theory by Stephan Porch and Deb Dana, as well as other supporting techniques. The essence of these modalities are about releasing trauma through the body and her nervous system, which brings back natural flow in connection with ourselves and others. Marijn works in this field for nearly eight years professionally, but the curiosity about how our brain functions and how we relate to stress has been there for much longer. About 20 years ago, Marijn experienced her first psychedelics assisted therapy session, and she was so amazed by the possibilities that she continued doing this many times with different doses and substances.
