Have you ever wondered why talk therapy alone sometimes isn't enough to heal trauma? In this episode, Britt Piper joins me to dive into the transformative power of somatic healing and why starting with the body can be the key to lasting recovery.Britt shares what a body-first approach really looks like, why our nervous system holds onto trauma, and how healing happens through experience—not just information. We discuss the role of body memory, the importance of understanding attachment wounds, and how to gently move through common stuck states like fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and functional freeze.In this episode, you'll learn:Why somatic healing is essential for trauma recoveryHow your nervous system responds to trauma and stressThe difference between body memory and explicit memoryThe five stuck states and how to navigate themWhy healing isn't about “fixing” yourself but creating capacity for regulationPractical steps to support your healing journeyIf you're tired of quick fixes and ready to understand what your body truly needs, this conversation is for you.WHAT'S BLOCKING YOUR ANXIETY RECOVERY?

In this episode, I sit down with Tessa, a former Panic to Peace student, to talk about her journey through anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia—and how she's finding true, lasting healing by slowing down and reconnecting with herself.For years, Tessa managed her anxiety by controlling everything around her. But when those strategies began to break down, she realized she needed a new path—one that involved nervous system regulation, somatic work, and learning to trust her body.We talk about:The dangers of “doing all the healing work” at onceWhat it means to stop digging and start healing in the present momentHow slowing down actually helps you build confidence and self-trustExpanding your bubble and taking brave steps—even when it's scaryWhy healing is never linear, and how that's completely okayTessa's story is incredibly inspiring and deeply relatable.

So recently my family hasn't been able to catch a break from all the sicknesses! My 5-year-old, Amelia, had the worst of it when she caught norovirus, and it was the sickest she's ever been!This sickness was super hard for her.

But Amelia's story is such a powerful reminder that anxiety doesn't discriminate, and it really just wants to protect us.
