030: After meeting virtually as panelists, Brittney KNEW she had to have Cassie on the podcast because she is SUCH a force for women (and other folks) in the work she does. Cassie Krajewski is the founder of Inner Atlas Therapy and co-founder of Center for Embodiment in Denver, CO. For more than 10 years, Cassie has worked with people to heal from issues with disordered eating, sexuality and pleasure, body shame and weight stigma, and the fragmentation and trauma that often underlies these issues. As a licensed clinical social worker, certified sex therapist, educator, and consultant, Cassie seeks to support people in connecting with their body's inherent wisdom, inhabiting their bodies more fully, and experiencing body liberation.

Cassie is skilled at using a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, attachment work and depth-oriented psychotherapy, IFS and parts work, emotion-focused therapy, various trauma and body-based therapies, feminist approaches to mental health and therapy, mindfulness, inner child and parts work, and meaning and insight based therapies. In this episode, you'll hear insights and concepts you may haven't even considered being connected (sex and food?!), juicy homework (or should we say homePLAY), and an invitation to expand your capacity for ALL of the emotions life has to offer us as humans.
