Amandha Vollmer (ADV) critiques traditional psychoanalysis and its limitations in addressing and healing buried emotional pain. Amandha argues that psychoanalysis often adds another layer to an individual’s narrative without truly accessing the root of their issues, essentially burying the pain even deeper under new narratives.
Drawing from lessons learned in naturopathic college, Amandha highlights how the animal kingdom naturally shakes off trauma, suggesting that humans have lost this innate ability to physically release trauma.
The presentation highlights somatic healing and trauma release exercises (TRE) as methods that allow for deep emotional feeling and physical release of trauma from the body. These approaches are shown as more effective alternatives to the often suppressive methods used in psychiatry.
