TESTIMONIALS
“The Somatic Stress Release™ training with Dr. Scott Lyons was a really powerful introduction to the way we experience stress in the body, uncovering our common patterns for responding to stress, and best of all a range of practices that help us move past stress and take more control of our lives. It gave me an incredibly helpful frame of how to better support myself and others with stressful events and responses in life. But what makes Scott’s trainings so powerful is the immersive experience he creates, interweaving lecture with practice and embodied experiences that not only help you get a more complete conceptual understanding of the work, but an embodied one from real experience—so that you go home embodying and practicing the concepts right away. Can’t recommend it enough, and can’t wait to do the next one!”
“Somatic Stress Release™ with Dr. Scott Lyons fundamentally re-oriented how I think about stress in just five days. My personal background is varied and includes notoriously stressful environments such as military service, consulting and startup software engineering. Scott doesn’t offer quick fix tricks to somehow make your stress magically go away. Instead, he dives into a deep exploration of what stress is, and how it’s woven into the fabric of our lives. By expertly layering academic research, experiential exercises, and group discussions, Scott has a unique talent to facilitate the journey of helping us understand what makes us human. Somatic Stress Release™ was a deep dive into the study of how stress arises both within myself and others. Equipped with actionable techniques and tools, I left the training with a newfound capacity to create space between stressors and my response to them, as well as begin to facilitate others in doing the same.”
“An unfathomable source of knowledge and wisdom, Scott is a teacher for whom I am happy to travel far. Every time I have been able to study under him, I took back with me not only numerous new tools and in-depth information but also fresh ideas and inspiration. As a mother, entrepreneur, and yoga facilitator, I was particularly interested in his programme on Somatic Stress Release™, because nowadays the term stress is so widely used and present in everyone’s life. With the help of Scott we were able to dissect what lies beneath this term or concept and find answers to questions some of which hadn’t even been asked yet. I warmly recommend getting to know Scott, studying or having sessions with him. It will certainly open up incredible insights and new dimensions for you.”
“Scott is an accomplished facilitator and the Somatic Stress Release™ course more than lived up to its promise. The presented paradigm of stress and stress response energy was insightful, evidence based, and transcended any other approach I have encountered despite years in the field. I fully believe this was because Scott has a breadth of knowledge and an openness of mind and intellect which allowed the presentations to be evolved from neuroscience, bodywork, psychotherapy, osteopathy but without bias or judgement to one simplistic truth, just the truth that simply is. This was further endorsed by its harness in experiential practice. Scott conveys a genuine warmth as a facilitator whilst casting both light on insights and uncovering shadows in one’s own stress response framework. The result is a layered understanding of how stress is an integral part of the human experience and it is how the manifested energy mobilizes which is the key to having personal and client freedom. I would highly recommend the Somatics Stress Release™ Level 1: Foundations course and Dr. Lyons as a teacher and fully look forward to joining Level 2.”
An Interview with Dr. Scott Lyons on Somatic Stress Release™, Trauma & Boundaries
Kara-Leah Grant and Dr. Scott Lyons examine how the language we use to talk about stress, trauma and boundaries can be counter-productive, why stress is a normal part of life (but our response to it can be thwarted), and how we can build our capacity to process stress and trauma in a healthy way. These are all topics covered in the Somatic Stress Release™ Trainings. Enjoy the conversation!
