Podcast: Therapist Uncensored - Neuroception and the Evolution of Human Spirit

Neuroception helps us sense danger and safety without cognition

Kim recently sat down with Dr. Ann Kelley on her podcast, Therapist Uncensored.

In this conversation, they explore the conscious evolution of the human spirit, the importance of self-compassion, and the integration of neuroception with therapeutic practices. Through Barthel's book, ‘Conversations with a Rattlesnake,' they dive into the significance of sensory integration and attachment in personal development. Using Porges' “Safe and Sound Protocol”, they touch on how understanding one's own nervous system and the cues of safety can lead to better emotional regulation and connection with not only oneself, but others. Follow along as they discuss the themes of trauma, healing and the science of connection.

“Self-compassion is part of the evolution.” – Kim Barthel
