Stacy Reuille-Dupont: Using Exercise Science to Bridge Understanding in Therapy

In this conversation, we talk about a blending of disciplines – – specifically, using exercise science to bridge understanding in somatic psychology interventions. The goal is to bring together the science of the physical body with the science of the emotional body to go beyond symptom reduction and reconnect the self and body.

Stacy is a graduate of the Hakomi Comprehensive Training Program, trained in EMDR, skilled in Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy methods among others.
