How can we bridge the gap between clinical psychotherapy and the mystical realms of the soul to foster true, embodied healing? Welcome to episode 31 of the Transformative Harmonics Podcast with your host Paula Scatoloni, LCSW, SEP. In this episode, Paula speaks with therapist and Somatic IFS specialist Marcella Cox to discuss the potent relationship between spirituality, the body, and trauma recovery. They explore how contemporary science is starting to catch up with traditional knowledge, providing a more in-depth examination of how we store our stories inside our bodies and how we can let go of the weight of the past to recover our joyful, fundamental essence.
