New Podcast with Transforming Touch® Practitioner Cath Counihan, and Gerardine Boyle.

GENERATIONAL TRAUMA, SHAME, EMOTIONAL NEGLECT, AND...

Cath was joined by art psychotherapist Gerardine Boyle in this episode. Cath and Gerardine talked about how generational trauma impacts families, the legacy of emotional neglect, what is unspoken, shame, and the complexity of unwinding functional freeze in the system. Gerardine generously shared her own stories of generational trauma and what she believes has impacted her on her journey. We talked briefly about primitive reflexes and how the retention of these can be extremely impactful for the nervous system and mental health.

Real safety is when you can be you and not what I want you to be.

-Stephen Terrell

06/11/2025

Internationally recognized expert on developmental trauma and author, Dr. Stephen Terrell, was interviewed by Dr. Tony Bates in Cork, Ireland, in 2024. Here's a snippet of Dr. Terrell discussing using Transforming Touch®, a somatic-based modality he created, with his own clients in his private therapy practice.

"Touch has taken me to the place
where I realize every session I'm getting touched too.
I don't touch you without touching me.
And when I realize that
that one thought is huge,
Because It's not, I'm touching you.
Oh, you're touching me
and you touching me is a whole lot safer
than me touching you.
Changes the whole dynamic.
There's no longer a threat."

Somatic Experience Practitioner Trainings

Transforming the Experience-Based Brain®: An Integrative Neurodevelopmental Approach for the Treatment of Developmental Trauma using Transforming Touch®. Stephen J Terrell PsyD, SEP. Three 5 Day Modules. Transforming Touch® is a protocol of applying touch to support regulation of the client's autonomic nervous system. As the ANS regulates it allows space for the client's body to repair early developmental ruptures. Transforming Touch® combines gentle touch, Therapeutic Centering, understanding Polyvagal Theory with early trauma, Primitive Reflex evaluation, and repair, using the language of repair with survival parts, Treatment Enhancements, and a clear path for following the protocol. You do not need prior experience with Touch to attend this training, just a desire to work with clients who have a history of Developmental Trauma. Developed by Terrell who is co-author of Nurturing Resilience. Learning is through a combination of lecture and experiential exercises. Open to Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Body Workers, Social Workers, and other healing modalities. CEU's available including Body Worker hours.
