Shame In The Body With Ilene Leshinsky

"It is not your shame. It was their shame, and they put it on you!" is the best takeaway from Episode #55 with Ilene Leshinsky, psychotherapist, intuitive energy healer, body image specialist, and author of the book Reflections Of A Fat Girl.
I invite you to listen, observe, and become curious as Ilene and I dip into our early childhoods and talk about where shame began for both of us. Guided by her lived experience, Ilene helps me and many clients heal their emotional wounds and release the shame they hold in their bodies.

#54 Becoming Curious: Who Am I?

Who are you? Now that’s a loaded question, just three words that hold significant weight. Now all of this is just a step in the process of getting to where we are meant to be and thriving; we start losing sight of who we are and our personal purpose along the way. This process of discomfort helps us develop deeper self-awareness. You must let go of parts of yourself in order to discover what is currently intended to fit you; releasing what no longer serves you is necessary!

#50:Part 1- Release Long-held Tension From Your Body with Somatic Experience Therapy

What makes an experience traumatic is not the actual event; it's the impact and imprint it leaves on your nervous system. Ilene Smith, author of the book Moving Beyond Trauma: The Roadmap to Healing from Your Past and Living with Ease and Vitality, shares with us her work as a Somatic Therapist and her journey and healing through this modality. Ilene says, 'The issue is in the tissue. When we get stuck in a cycling narrative or emotion, we can't access our ability to feel safe and be engaged and connected with ourselves and others."
