This presentation will focus on the way culture shapes and informs our bodily experience. Using cultural narratives of Indigenous people as examples, Soma-Cultural Liberation will give clinicians practical tools for assessment, clinical intervention, and understanding how culture is a relevant topic of discussion and inquiry in therapeutic and healing modalities.
