Show Notes
This episode of the Bodies by Brent Podcast will have you asking yourself uncomfortable questions around the trauma you might be holding on to. Our guest Will Rezin has learned under the Shipibo people of the Amazon and is on the front lines in our species' battle against trauma.
Psychedelics were Will’s foray into feeling all the things that were happening inside himself. Little by little, he followed his curiosity about esoteric mystic traditions, religion, culture, psychology, and physiology. This led him to practice meditation, movement, introspective awareness, and hiring mentors to help him discover more and more about himself.

While turning to “feeling good” is natural, it’s a trap… Life is painful sometimes. Our resistance to the pain is what creates our suffering. Will shares some information, practices, and techniques to overcome and combat our trauma.
What we learn from Will in this episode:
How to trust your natural impulses The only type of animal that PTSD shows up in How medication can stop the body from processing our experiences That not resisting our emotions can help us process them How awareness is the start of healing How to trust yourself and your experiences Why pain is necessary for healing How to embody your full self
