Prentis Hemphill Instagram – More from my conversation with @estherperelofficial on politicized healing and embodiment.

I love the language I have found in somatic therapy — a form of healing that transcends spoken word and taps into the wisdom of the body, individual and collective. It’s that spark and common fascination that drew me to Prentis’ work.
@prentishemphill is a therapist, somatics teacher and facilitator, political organizer, writer and the founder of The Embodiment Institute. They are dedicated to unearthing connections between healing, community accountability and our most inspired visions for social transformation.
In this Session, we started by asking, what is the purpose of therapy at this moment? What are ways that somatics is applied to that therapeutic focus? We explore the ways that power shapes our experiences and social relationships. We discuss collective trauma and how the individual and communal experience is defined by a question of belonging, the delineation of “us and them” during the allocation of resources—and how these political decisions and maneuvers impact the body and collective response.
