Ana Mael

Ana Mael is a founder of Somatic Trauma Recovery Center and Exiled & Rising Podcast. Ana's extraordinary journey from surviving the trenches of war, and escaping death seven times, to becoming a leading voice in the field, sets her apart in a way that few therapists can relate to. She delves deep into the heart of PTSD and trauma, offering insights and healing that cut to the core of human experience. Ana specializes in helping adults with trauma histories, those who have endured personal, relational, social, or authoritarian abuse, or carry the weight of intergenerational trauma in their bodies. Through her somatic expertise, she guides people in releasing their deepest traumas and grief from their very nervous systems. Ana's two books, "The Trauma We Don't Talk About," are Amazon Best Sellers in multiple categories, including Mental Health and Survival Biographies & Memoirs. But Ana's impact doesn't stop there. She leads Somatic Grieving Support Groups, facilitates Somatic Movements Trauma Recovery Groups, and tirelessly supports survivors of wars, genocide, displacements, and undocumented individuals and groups. Ana Mael is more than a therapist; she's an advocate for the rights of children and teenagers forced into the horrors of war, fighting for their rehabilitation, reintegration, and a brighter future. Join us on this journey of healing and resilience as we explore the depths of trauma recovery and the extraordinary life and work of Ana Mael.
