What if you could approach all relationships from a place of deep regulation? In this conversation, Sah D'Simone and Dr. Nicole LaPera, The Holistic Psychologist, discuss the somatic body-mind connection, her book, “How to Be the Love You Seek,” grief, impermanence, forgiveness, and the definition of love in relationships.  They discuss… 1. How the mind and body are in constant communication, and understanding this connection is crucial for healing and personal growth. 2. The concept of tracing feelings in the body and the process of dissolving emotional charge. 3. That grief is not limited to the loss of a loved one; it can also encompass unmet needs and the shedding of old identities. 4. How love is an embodied state that comes from connection to the heart and allows for self-acceptance and acceptance of others. 5. A punitive approach in relationships, where love is withdrawn as punishment, can create harm and hinder growth.  6. The influence of parenting models on our relationships … and more!  Dr. Nicole LePera is a holistic psychologist, trained at Cornell University, The New School for Social Research and The Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis.
