#50 Part 1- Release Long-held Tension From Your Body with Somatic Experience Therapy

Ilene Smith, author of the book Moving Beyond Trauma: The Roadmap to Healing from Your Past and Living with Ease and Vitality, shares with us her work as a Somatic Therapist and her journey and healing through this modality.
