"The Languages of the Body: An Embodied Approach to Emotional Wellness"

Presenter: Greg Yasuda, ND
Original Date: May 18, 2024

Medicine has become increasingly fast-paced and protocol-driven such that it can be difficult to slow down and simply observe and listen to the patient in front of me. When I do, however, what I find is a wealth of information that often informs and even directs the treatment plan. I’ll be discussing the various ways that the languages of the body help me to bridge the perceived gap between mind and body as well as delving into some of the research that supports them.
