Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting for Strength, Confidence and Healing with Mariah Rooney
Manage episode 429296368 series 2612174
There's a growing body of evidence suggesting that practices like weight lifting can support trauma-affected individuals on their healing journeys.
On this episode of Transforming Trauma, Emily is joined by Mariah Rooney, LCSW, co-founder of Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting, the one-of-a-kind non-profit program dedicated to the training and education of trauma-informed movement practitioners as well as research on the healing potential of weight lifting. The pair discuss the program's structure, the neuroscience behind it, and how Mariah’s extensive participation in social justice practices led to its creation. Mariah also shares some case studies that highlight the positive impact that weight lifting has on a trauma-impacted individual's resilience, sense of agency, and interoceptive awareness.
