Ellen Heed is a somatic sex educator and the creator of STREAM (Scar Treatment, Remediation, Education and management). In this episode, Sam and Ellen discuss the role of altered states in the integration of physiological and existential aspects in somatic sex education. Ellen emphasizes the importance of safety and presence in altered states, particularly when dealing with regression and emotional material. Ellen describes three layers of touch: basic nervous system regulation, deep provocation, and scar tissue remediation and offers the language of somatic time for the felt sense of a shared altered state experience in session. She highlights the role of meaning-making in integrating experiences and the significance of neurodivergence in altered states. Ellen also shares her personal journey and the transformative impact of somatic practices on her clients' lives, underscoring the potential for profound personal growth and healing.
