Soma means Body: Cultivating resiliency through finding balance, and increasing both emotional and physical insight. With Jordyn Russo, LCSW Resiliency Reimagined

Jordyn Russo, LCSW is our guest on this month’s resiliency re-imagined. Jordyn is one of our clinicians at the Center for Strength and has a passion for working with this community.

Within this podcast, Jordyn discusses factors which she has seen impacting her client’s resiliency, how she cultivates resiliency, and the importance of checking-in with yourself. She discusses means of creating competency and confidence, and how this impacts a person’s journey in healing from trauma.

Jordyn has found that finding balance between “want tos,” “get tos,” and “have tos” is both important for herself and has been very impactful for her clients. We often focus only on the “have tos” whether it be school, work, or tasks; often these being things that we feel we can control, and the things that “fill your cup” get pushed to the side.

Jordyn uses somatic (body awareness) work within her practice and discusses how this is impactful following a person experiencing a traumatic experience. Jordyn mentions how this can impact both hyperarousal (panic, anxiety, etc.) as well as hypoarousal (disassociation, zoning out). She further discusses how developing relationships and insight with trauma symptoms can be more impactful in the healing process vs. trying to ignore or push away the symptoms.
