“You can’t think your way through trauma. You have to feel it.”
In this episode of Deep Chats, we dive deeper than most chats to discuss all things anxiety with Inertia DeWitt, LMFT. As a human being in this world, we are faced with traumas of all sorts (from violence to not feeling like we belong). It’s important to note the very natural survival strategies we use to overcome these traumas, and the resulting symptoms of anxiety that arise. We walk together in this episode through this entire journey and what it means to return to a state of capacity to experience it all.
Inertia DeWitt is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist working in private practice in the state of California. She is a trauma specialist, a trained EMDR and Brainspotting practitioner, a somatic psychotherapist, and a Certified Yoga Teacher with over 10 years of experience in the teaching field. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, Inertia studied dance and the performing arts. She holds an MFA in Dance from Arizona State University and bridges her knowledge in body-based practices in her work as a mental health professional. Inertia provides integrative coaching services as an alternative for those seeking spiritual support that may include ritual work, chakra healing, astrology readings, and yoga.
