In this podcast I chat with Ben Tannahill who is an online somatic therapist based in Brighton, UK. He works online with clients 1-on-1, offering somatic inquiry and emotional coaching. I have received around 8 sessions from Ben at the time of this podcast and I talk about how he has helped me with the bulk of my emotional processing so far. We both speak to the importance of finding a practitioner that you resonate with and how trust and safety can really pave the way for a deep dive into feeling your feelings. In this episode, Ben shares his story of struggling with alcohol consumption and what was the final straw that lead him to seek out a better way of life and how talk therapy, spirituality and finally somatic work helped him to quit drinking and move to a more wholistic way of life and to the path of helping others. We touch on psychedelic use in pulling back the layers to see things differently which can help specific people gain a different awareness of reality, of their lives, feelings, and beliefs. We also discuss how certain events from our youth can actually plant seeds for self exploration later on. We chat about the limitations of Science and societal constructs on healing but also how sometimes people can use spirituality as a dissociation tactic and the need for balance between the two. I really enjoyed this chat because I really resonate with the things Ben says and I appreciate the knowledge he brings to this conversation. I hope you enjoy it too!
