I kept asking her to repeat herself because what she was saying was too good to be missed! \n\nToday on The Karen Kenney Show, I\u2019m thrilled to introduce you to the amazing Linda Thai! I had the opportunity to study with Linda recently and I was so moved by her personal story and her professional work that I just had to have her on the show.\n\nLinda is a somatic therapist, storyteller, and educator, who uses her background in trauma therapy, somatic therapies, and yoga to guide others through the steps that help them to recognize and safely release tension through resourcing their own body. \n\nNo matter how traumatized we are, that Ventral Vagus, in each of us never loses the desire to connect. It is always there and reaching out to some degree whether that be in healthy or unhealthy ways. With this knowledge and Linda\u2019s help, we can move from a state of trauma to one of empowered self-awareness that allows us to connect back into ourselves, each other, and ultimately our spiritual team.\n\nNo longer do we have to abandon ourselves; it's time to get curious and listen to the stories our bodies are trying to tell us so that we can play a proactive part in our own healing and come home to ourselves.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/22c50850-e75c-4734-b25e-87faf90de9ff/2026-Podcast-Artwork-512KB.jpg"}
