In this episode of 'Yoga in the Therapy Room', we discuss how integrating trauma-informed yoga into therapy sessions can create a more holistic and healing environment for clients, especially those with trauma histories. We explore the definition of trauma, and the importance of trauma-informed practices, and provide practical strategies for incorporating yoga into clinical settings. I also share insights on creating a safe, supportive space, adjusting for cultural and individual sensitivities, and the dual benefits for clients and therapists. Listeners are encouraged to explore how these practices can benefit their therapeutic approach and support profound healing.

"One of the most amazing parts of doing trauma-informed yoga in session with clients is the benefit for them. They're learning how to emotionally regulate, learning ways to connect more to their body, and release tension and trauma." -Chris McDonald

MEET Leah Barnes

Leah Barnes, LCMHCS, is the owner of Ridgeline Counseling and Supervision, PLLC where she provides online therapy to adults in North and South Carolina. She focuses on working with late-diagnosed or suspected Autistic and ADHD adults to get rid of internalized shame and ableism surrounding their neurotype, and learn ways to work with their brain, not against it. In addition to traditional weekly therapy, she offers therapy intensives to help clients dig deep into healing over the course of 1 to 3 days. She uses a variety of approaches during intensives, such as brainspotting, polyvagal techniques, therapeutic yoga, parts work, and more.

"‘It fits so naturally because we are talking about how the nervous system responds and how we get somebody back into a regulated state. Many of those somatic techniques that we use are very similar to yoga, if not identical and so it just fits so well.’" -Leah Barnes
