In this episode, we delve into the distinctions between Somatic Enneagram work and traditional trauma therapy or Somatic Experiencing. The discussion highlights the differences in approach, emphasizing that Somatic Enneagram focuses on normal human development, recognizing and relaxing behavioral patterns created by the defense system, and using somatic awareness practices. Unlike trauma therapy which deals with more severe PTSD cases, Somatic Enneagram addresses developmental influences and helps in identifying and working through less intense yet still overwhelming experiences. The episode also touches upon the importance of readiness and awareness in working with these practices and how they support overall human resilience and spiritual growth.
