I had a great chat with Sue Choi about her work and her new book. Sue Choi is a somatic movement teacher and bodyworker with over 2 decades of experience creating body solutions for clients. Her goal has always been making enduring and sustainable changes for people in their bodies that they can carry into their daily lives. Driven to understand how mental and emotional connections show up in the body, she has a particular interest in how the deep currents of trauma distort a body. Her professional trainings include yoga therapy at the Krishnamacharya Mandiram, Continuum Movement with Emilie Conrad, Rolf Movement with Hubert Godard, neurosensory training in the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration Method™, manual therapies in craniosacral, visceral manipulation, myofascial release. Perceptual trainings include the Tomatis Method™ sound therapy and natural vision. The work of psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and academics as they apply to the sensory system have also informed how she works with the body in movement. Enjoy the show.

She's an author, she's a somatic educator, she's a friend from LA, her name is Sue Choi. And she's written a new book, which I just finished. And it's called when things stick, untangling your body from old patterns. And I am so excited about the contents of this book. And I just add, I have Sue on So Sue, welcome to the program. And can you give us a background on where you've come from and who you are?   00:46 Thank you, Sam. So happy to be here. I have I'm a somatic movement therapist, and educator, I've been doing this work for over 20 years, a whole body of work that ranges from somatic movement to hands on body work that I do for private one on one clients in person. So I it's been a fun journey to bring all these things together. And it was a big kind of effort to put the book together to distill things down. But I'm glad it's out there.   01:26 Well, you know, when I read the book, you know, what, what jumped out at me is how you have put all these different disciplines together. And so how did you develop this system?   01:41 You know, it was, it was kind of piece by piece, mostly, it was focused on how to improve outcomes for clients. So if there was something that I could kind of see that just wasn't fitting in place, I would research it, I did a lot of different types of trainings that may be kind of unusual, but I, one of the books that really turned things around for me was Dr. John Radies book on the fourth theatres of the brain and attention, and he, he's a psychiatrist, and he wrote about the sensory system, and the importance of it. And it really spoke to me, because I was already doing the modest work. I had been exposed to Bates work, back in the early days when I first studied yoga therapy, and was training. So I learned about that in India, and I said, Oh, that's just yoga for vision. And so the, as every, the threads of these things came together,
