Ep#267 - The Healing of Trauma, An Interview with Efu Nyaki, a healer and author of "Healing Trauma Through Family Constellations and Somatic Experiencing."
The theme for this month of March is all about Potential. Our Potential. And exploring what that might look like in our lives.
I am thrilled to welcome Efu Nyaki to this episode to discuss the healing of trauma. Efu is a healer and the author of Healing Trauma Through Family Constellations and Somatic Experiencing.
So what is Family Constellations and why is this important in the healing of trauma? Efu describes it as a new modality that is well known to our ancestors. It is an approach that looks at problems with a systemic view. It means that when resolving conflicts within the family (or organization, community, etc.) the whole system must be looked at. In the case of a family system, the family is seen as a whole and solutions are sought through movements of the soul/spirit, as a living and active being. This type of therapy connects the family with all ancestors to get to the root of the problem and reveal the patterns that show up in families from generation to generation.
Efu also touches on Somatic Healing in her book. This type of therapy helps with the healing of trauma through body awareness. Efu goes on to explain that through balance of the body the person can experience healing. When this occurs many times it also removes the need to get revenge against the person(s) they feel did them harm.
Until balance is reached conflict and tragedies will continue to show up.
Much of this healing involves going into the body to release the anger or rage that is being carried. So often people feel they can go into the head or the mind to “talk” their way out of the imbalance. That doesn’t work. The body needs to be engaged and needs to feel the movement and release of the energy.
We shared a powerful and enlightening chat. Efu also shared some of her story about growing up on the slope of mountain Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. Here is where she gained the essence and vital healing energy from her ancestors so she could do the work she does and share it with the world.
