A Somatic Approach to Life, Work and Purpose: Interview with Owen Marcus

It might sound crazy, but thinking and strategizing are often not the best ways to solve problems, make life decisions, connect with others or navigate the workplace. My guest Owen Marcus is a noted psychologist whose work applies the science of somatics to combat stress and the resulting dissociation with our body. Listen in to learn more about how to develop healthier life patterns, unlock your productivity and be better guided by your intuition to the choices that are best for you.

1. The dissociation or stress becomes a default setting over time, making us feel more and more isolated from the people in our lives.
2. Developing connection and quality relationships relies on establishing clear goals, boundaries and giving yourself agency.
3. We are all intuitive, but have stopped listening to the somatic signals it give us.
4. Addictions can arise from a lack of healthy connectivity
5. Toxic masculinity and a culture of codependency in the workplace has had negative impacts for men and women. Communicating and connecting better can over come this and lead to higher performing teams.
