In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Sarah Cefai, Senior Lecturer in Gender and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths University of London, about her new research report 'Recovery is Possible'.

Sarah analysed 75 in-depth interviews from Raelan Agle's YouTube channel, which focuses largely on sharing 'recovery interviews' with a large online community. The report finds that these 75 interviews suggest that recovery is taking place, and that it takes place largely outside standard medical care.

Sarah's work demonstrates that social and cultural themes associated with recovery within that particular online community suggest that improvement is common, but frequently invisible to the mainstream medical discourse. Her report focuses on excavating some recurring patterns drawn from the lived experience of the interviewees and their narratives about how their illness developed, and how they experienced the arc from illness to recovery.

The report is available here: Recovery is Possible

Anna specialises in profound healing work. Her approach addresses all the layers of human well-being: body, mind, emotions and spirit.

You can take her uniquely life-changing healing course 'Somatic Liberation: The Deep Intelligence Healing System' by going to her website.

The course has been described as:

'This is some kind of magical'.

'It feels as if what came before was mere apprenticeship'.

'Highly engaging. Deeply immersive'.

'This is a course in a class of its own, offering transformation at a deep level'.

'I've never felt more in awe, more empowered and more intrigued'.

There is nothing else like it out there for nervous system transformation, brainwork magic, partnering with your own unconscious mind and transforming your relationship with your body, forever.

In this edition of the podcast, Anna speaks with Dr Athene Knufer, neuroscience researcher, somatic 'mindbody' coach, and yoga nidra guide. Athene first studied psychology with neuroscience, and then went on to complete a PhD in Developmental Neuroscience.

Athene has suffered from serious MECFS, but is now forging ahead with their own work as a somatic practitioner, guiding others into flourishing. Athene specialises in working with the nervous system, and as this conversation reveals, is fully committed to the collective and structural dimensions of healing. This is a wide-ranging conversation in which Anna and Athene draw together personal experience, science, questions of justice, and the idea of moving beyond mere recovery to something much richer.
