Today on Far From Perfect we are chatting with Erica Bonham who is a therapist and coach. She's been doing this for 14 years and she focuses on EMDR therapy and trauma recovery. Today we are talking about regulating your nervous system and how if we can master this, then we are 'good'! She talks to us about the Big T and the little t, in retrospect of trauma. Lack of atunement is key in terms of regulating the nervous system and understanding and holding the space for it is how we learn to regulate the nervous system. We also discuss using visualization and somatic visualization practice in order to regulate. It's how you want to feel in your body and bringing that feeling through your body from the bottom up! We also talk about Ketamine Therapy, what it is, how it's used and who it benefits. She tells us about her latest offering 'Cultivating Your Inner Badass' and how you can gain access to it. She tells us the difference between therapy, focusing on the past and coaching, which is in the present moment and future oriented goals. This is a must listen.  Erica Bonham is a certified EMDR clinician, consultant and trainer and is a coach and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado.   She aspires to be a catalyst for change, justice, growth, evolution and all around badassery.  She specializes in serving the LGBTQ community, abuse recovery, and trauma related to social oppression and spiritual abuse.  She gets lit up as her clients move through and release old patterns that no longer serve them and start embracing their unique special sauce that they bring to the world. She incorporates her training as a yoga instructor and mindfulness practitioner to deepen clients' healing of their bodies and specializes in somatic and attachment EMDR and ego state work. She is a published author, speaker and the creator of the course “Healthy Hope: EMDR Best Practices for Healing Spiritual Trauma” and the co-creator of “Healing Racial Trauma with Somatic Therapy” with Dr. Chinwe Williams.  She seeks to get into good trouble to dismantle systems of oppression and white supremacy and aspires to be part of the emergent, reimagining of a world rooted in the values of beauty, equity, nonviolence and empowerment of all beings.   You can find Erica on instagram @avoscounseling and find her latest offering at www.cultivatingyourinnerbadass.com  Support the podcast with the following products and companies I am aligned with:   Outwork Nutrition Supplements: Use my code: KYLIE to save 10% on your first purchase.
