"What happened to me and how can I put myself back together again?”

This episode is taken from Parts 1 and 2 YouTube videos published in June/July 2021.

Deirdre Fay, MSW, LICSW, integrates trauma and attachment theory with yoga and meditation in embodiment. She is the founder of the Becoming Safely Embodied Skills, maintains a private practice working with individuals and groups, and presents around the world. Her most recent book, Becoming Safely Embodied: A Guide to Organize Your Mind, Body and Heart to Feel Secure in the World, explores how to move from fragmentation to wholeness through practical, embodied skills.

In this full-length conversation, we begin with how Deirdre arrived at her approach and explore the foundations of becoming safely embodied. In the second half, we discuss the nine essential skills from her book that support people on their healing journeys—skills that help create a felt sense of safety and scaffolding for life.
