268: The Neuroscience Of Belonging & Exclusion with Sarah Peyton

<p>Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C interviews returning guest Sarah Peyton, the author of Your Resonant Self. Sarah explains the neuroscience of belonging and exclusion. She describes why people gather around a charismatic leader who rails against "others" and what we can do differently. This episode is very timely, as it was recorded before the 2021 US Capitol insurrection that caused so much harm. If you have been trying to understand the polarization of political views in the US, Sarah's explanation will be of interest to you.</p> <p>Sarah Peyton, Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication, constellation facilitator and neuroscience educator, integrates brain science and the use of resonant language to heal trauma and nourish self-warmth with exquisite gentleness. She teaches and lectures internationally, and is the author of the book “Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations and Exercises to Engage Your Brain’s Capacity for Healing." Her second book from W.W. Norton, The Your Resonant Self Workbook, is available for preorder on Amazon and will be published May 25, 2021.</p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class= "s1">Resources</span></strong></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sarah Peyton's Website: <a href= "http://www.sarahpeyton.com/"><span class= "s2">www.sarahpeyton.com</span></a></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s3">Preorder Sarah Peyton's Resonant Self Workbook <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Your-Resonant-Self-Workbook-Self-sabotage-ebook/dp/B08XY7VQ9P/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr="><span class="s2">here</span></a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Thanks to everyone who registered for the Trauma Therapist Community clinical consultation groups!
