Moving Out Of Trauma Kandace Ledergerber

Episode Synopsis & Guest BioIn this episode of Moving Out of Trauma, I enjoyed talking with somatic breathwork practitioner Casey (she/her) as we dived deep into the transformative power of somatic practices and mindfulness for healing from trauma. Learn about the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and community in the therapeutic space, and discover how intentional self-care practices can lead to a more joyful and regulated life. From re-patterning the brain to finding what works for individual regulation, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips for those seeking to move out of trauma and into a place of healing and resilience.
Casey is a Somatic Breathwork™ Practitioner, Event Facilitator, and Conscious Entrepreneur. Casey has supported and worked alongside entrepreneurs and executives her entire life. She knows firsthand the impact anxiety, stress, and overwhelm have on humanity. After immersing herself in the wellness space, she noticed a missing piece to her internal healing, which resided on a physiological (somatic) level. This is when she explored Somatic Breathwork. She now guides people through transformational Somatic Breathwork practices, helping to promote self-awareness, emotional integration, stress/anxiety reduction, and overall well-being.

Episode SynopsisIn this episode, I spend some time guiding you through a meditation and guided imagery that is based on giving our younger selves and our adult selves what we need in the moment. I invite you to take some time, get comfy (don't do this while driving), maybe grab a cup of tea and a journal, and spend some time giving back to your soul.
Guest BioMy name is Kandace Ledergerber. My pronouns are she/her. I am an EMDR therapist, yoga teacher, dog enthusiast, and first-time mom of a wonderful, amazing 1.5-year-old. I am passionate about working with trauma survivors, especially sexual abuse survivors, blending EMDR and yoga-based techniques to help them find solid ground beneath their feet and to process the stuck past trauma so they no longer have to live in the messages of the past, but can move into who they authentically are at their core.

Episode SynopsisI had the great pleasure of recording with Jaclyn of the Lost Labia Chronicles and Rebecca of Patton Pelvic Health discussing Lichen Sclerosis. We dive deep in this episode not just discussing what Lichen Sclerosis is but also how sex education plays a part, the wonderful world of resources that are available to us when it comes to sexual health, understanding if Lichen Sclerosis it's actually as rare as they say it is or is it just under/misdiagnosed, how trauma all plays a part and places of support that are out there. Some of my favorite parts of this episode was discussing how the nervous system needs to be protected at all costs, the absolute necessity of community not just for healing but for living, and how in order to become a whole person we have to address the whole person. I hope you enjoy this episode because it was a blast recording it!
Just as a heads up - since I am interviewing two guests on this episode, this is a longer episode than normal.
Guest BioJaclyn (she/her) is the Face behind The Lost Labia Chronicles the CEO and Founder of what started out as a blog but developed into a hub of information, resources, tips, tricks, support and just an overall inclusive safe space for people anywhere in their journey of Lichen Sclerosus.
Rebecca Patton (she/they) of Patton Pelvic Health LLC. Rebecca is a pelvic physical therapist who supports all patients of all genders and identities with a trauma-informed and inclusive approach. Rebecca has a passion for destigmatizing sexual health and pelvic health concerns across the gender and sexual identity spectrum and is a second time guest on Moving out of Trauma. Rebecca and I got to have a really great conversation surrounding reconnecting to the body after a trauma and was actually one of the first episodes of the season, so if you haven't given that one a listen, definitely check it out.
