Trauma Therapist Explores Mind-Body Mindfulness Connection on KCBX Podcast

Psychotherapist and trauma specialist Leslie Bullock sat down with Elizabeth Barrett for KCBX's "A Conversation with the Reluctant Therapist" on March 10, 2026, bringing a clinical lens to one of mindfulness practice's most consequential intersections: the relationship between somatic experience and trauma healing.

The episode, titled "Treating Trauma Through the Mind/Body and Mindfulness Connection," marks the latest in Barrett's ongoing series, which has covered territory ranging from women's health and climate anxiety to artificial intelligence and spiritual growth. The show releases weekly and has addressed topics including "A Memoir of Triumph, Trauma and Healing" in December 2025 and "Mental Health in Many Forms" the previous October, building a consistent record of weaving psychological and contemplative frameworks together.

Bullock's credentials as both a psychotherapist and trauma specialist position her squarely at the crossroads that many practitioners in the mindfulness community are navigating: how formal therapeutic training and body-based awareness practices inform each other, and what that means for people working through trauma responses that surface during sitting practice or somatic work.

Barrett's program airs on KCBX and has addressed an unusually wide range of wellness-adjacent subjects in recent months. A February 2026 episode examined women's health through a holistic lens, while an early January installment revisited climate fears in a "Best Of" format. The show's back catalog suggests a host interested in the connective tissue between psychological theory, lived experience, and contemplative life.

The episode is available through KCBX, and the station can be reached at members@kcbx.org for listeners seeking additional information.
