In this episode, I am joined by Paula Scatoloni, MSW, embodiment educator, sound therapist, and workshop facilitator, to the show for a rerelease of one of our earliest episodes,, “Somatic Experiencing.”

Join Karin and Paula for a conversation on somatic experiencing, safe ways to tune into your body, how the nervous system influences the mind-body system, Embodied Recovery, restoring health through sound and vibration, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), body detachment, “showing up” for recovery, and more!

Paula Scatoloni, MSW is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Certified Safe and Sound Protocol Provider in Durham, NC. She has taught extensively on the etiology and treatment of eating disorders through workshops, professional trainings, and conferences for over a decade.

Paula has been involved in the field of embodiment for three decades and has training in innovative approaches that bridge neuroscience, physiology, interpersonal neurobiology, transpersonal psychology, and the creative arts with non-Western models of health and healing. She is currently exploring the therapeutic applications of sound and vibration in the facilitation of health and restoration. Her somatic-acoustic approach integrates the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), acoustic tuning forks, and Somatic Experiencing. She is a consultant for Unyte/Integrative Listening Systems and is the lead author of the SSP-SE Integration Manual.

In her role as embodiment educator, Paula brings her creativity and deep respect for the universal and collective forces that guide the human experience in relationship to our attachment, defense, and sensory processing needs. Her transformative workshops are designed for Somatically Integrative Providers who are interested in deepening their own level of embodiment through sound and vibration.
