Episode 7 Bringing Yourself Back into Your Body During and After Trauma with Nisha Gill

Nisha Gill of Feminine Instincts is a Melbourne-based Somatic Experiencing (trauma resolution) Practitioner with a background in counselling, bodywork, birth education, doula support, feminine embodiment yoga and birth hypnosis.

She specializes in birth and sexual trauma resolution via a neurophysiological approach which focuses on safety and capacity at the level of the autonomic nervous system. The approach also lends itself to preparing for birth when paired with bodywork to simulate labour and increase the birthing person’s threshold to stress and trauma responses.

Nisha works with individuals in therapy and groups for trauma education both in person and online.

In this episode we talk about:

1. How we are still very much primal beings and our trauma responses as humans are not that different to animals

2. Trauma as an incomplete nervous system response. How is trauma stored in the body even from a time when we were preverbal

3. Why we don’t necessarily need to ‘remember’ the content of our traumas in order to work with them

4. How to scan and listen to your body – where are the niggles? where do you feel stuck? How to we build in new calm and/or pleasant experiences and sensations

5. What can you do to resettle your nervous system if you can’t leave the space?

6. What does a session with a Somatic Experiencing practitioner look like? How to open your mind AND open your pelvis!
