Surfing as Medicine: Healing Pain, Illness and Childhood Trauma
Description
Every one of us has experienced stress and trauma, often beginning back in childhood. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Former Amiga Tracey discusses her journey growing up and living with mental health issues and chronic pain, various career paths and motherhood, eventually finding surfing and healing in the ocean, and creating a holistic Pain and Trauma clinic. In this episode, we discuss the emotional and physical parts of pain, how to holistically approach illnesses and how getting outside (or better, in the water surfing!) can help reset your systems.
Surf With Amigas runs surf coaching and yoga retreats for women in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Morocco, and Indonesia — http://surfwithamigas.com
