Brandi Brown, CLC

(She/Her/Hers)
Embodiment Trainer

Somatic Healing Substance Use Interventions Henrico Richmond VA

Brandi Brown is a trauma-sensitive Embodiment Trainer. She specializes in the use of somatically-centered experiential healing - supporting her students in connecting to their inner wisdom that they're afraid to listen to, their self-compassion that they don't feel worthy of, and their sense of play and spontaneity that they've learned to repress. 

​

Brandi utilizes Seeking Depth to Recovery's unique ego-state framework, Interrelational Triangulation, to strengthen Resilience Roles and retire Trauma Roles. She teaches her students about the internalization of caregiver responses in time-sensitive periods of neurological development - extinguishing the shame associated with the enactment of Trauma Roles. She skillfully navigates this process from post-traumatic growth lens of "both/and" rather than shame and blame. 

 

In her warm and gentle approach to recovery, Brandi helps her students to slow down and strengthen the neurological pathways of resiliency: wisdom, nurturing, and play. Through her extensive training in somatic approaches and action-based methods, Brandi facilitates the untangling of inner criticism and wounded child messaging from these resilience roles. 

 

Brandi's unique approach integrates client-centered self-disclosure from her own journey in complex trauma recovery. In the creation of a shared space of recovery, Brandi's students feel a sense of normalization, shame reduction, and self-forgiveness.  

 

​Brandi's formal training includes shadowing Shamans, receiving tutelage under the founders of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA), training in Somatic Inquiry, and has spent dozens of hours practicing the art of Psychodrama.

​

Brandi is the mother of two grown children, one of whom is in recovery. She also has a granddaughter who is the apple of her eye. In her spare time, she enjoys attending retreats, camping, local festivals, and spending time with loved ones.
