Podcasts about body keeps

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #329! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I interview Melissa Osorio, author, speaker, and mental health advocate and psychedelic therapy ambassador, on the topic of psychedelic therapy for healing. Melissa is the author of "Hidden Memories," and is a profound resource on the topic of using psychedelics to heal trauma, and therefore your body.  You can find her books via Audible or Amazon. Her website is melissa-osorio.com. We also mention the book "The Body Keeps the Score" on the show, which can be found here. Click here to learn more about our SYNC™ membership.

Ever feel the stress in your body? Welcome to the club! ;) A club I'd rather not be in, but I am here, so here we are. ;)     This by no means is an exhaustive list of ways to help, but I thought I would bring this subject around again on the show because so many of us are feeling the stress of life in our bodies. And I don't want to be a ‘victim' of that stress and have been on a journey to really learn how to care for myself in this. It's been quite the process, but soo worth it!    I mention "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk, a phenomenal book that triggered me the whole way through. But it taught me so much about why my body was feeling it and “keeping score.”   I hope this episode blesses you. Key Topics Covered: Understanding Body-Stress Connection How stress manifests physically in the body Personal examples of stress patterns (shoulder tension, hip pain) The importance of acknowledging rather than shaming physical stress responses What Doesn't Work Self-shaming and harsh self-talk "Suck it up buttercup" mentality Ignoring your body's signals Personal Evolution in Self-Care How body needs change over time Transitioning from ice baths to heat therapy Listening to your body's changing needs Honoring hormonal changes with age Key Takeaways: Your body keeps score - Physical symptoms often reflect emotional and mental stress Permission to prioritize - Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary Adaptation is normal - What worked before may not work now, and that's okay Gentle approach - Choose loving, nurturing ways to care for your body Individual needs - We're not one-size-fits-all; honor your unique body   Feeling a tug towards finding your purpose and learning to how prioritize yourself without the guilt? It's probably time to deal with what's actually holding you back so you can move forward with more joy and harmony in life. We invite you to schedule a complimentary call with Dani  to explore if working together is the right fit for you. Book Your FREE Discovery Call   Glad you're here, Dani

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/   What if your body could warn you about burnout or illness before you even feel it, possibly even days before it happens?   In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Torkil Færø, a Norwegian doctor and author of The Pulse Cure, to talk about heart rate variability, or HRV and how it can give us early warning signs about our health. He shared how he got into HRV tracking while on a sailing trip, and how it opened his eyes to how much stress and recovery affect our bodies.   We talked about what HRV really tells us, how wearables like Garmin, WHOOP, and Oura can help track it, and how small daily habits, like what you eat, how you sleep, or even when you work out, can change your HRV. Dr. Færø also told stories of real people who've used this data to catch serious health issues early, like cancer.   Key Takeaways:   It's personal, track your own trends instead of comparing numbers with others. HVR It's like having your own early warning system for stress and health. Garmin gives more detailed stress tracking, while Oura and WHOOP are great for sleep and tagging daily habits.   Resources:   Dr. Torkil Færø is a Norwegian medical doctor, emergency physician, and bestselling author of The Pulse Cure. After realizing his lifestyle was quietly damaging his health, he dove into the science of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and became a leading voice on how to use wearable tech to track and improve stress, recovery, and overall well-being. His work has helped thousands of people better understand their bodies and take control of their health before problems arise.   @dr.torkil (IG) https://www.instagram.com/dr.torkil/    The Pulse Cure by Dr. Torkil Færø  https://a.co/d/iWWB5Ub - https://thepulsecure.com/    Book mentioned:   The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk _________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.

From genius discovery to UFO battles: The man who found trauma in the body Wilhelm Reich made one of psychology's greatest discoveries: The body remembers what the mind forgets. Trauma doesn't just live in thoughts and memories - it's held in muscle tension, breathing patterns, and physical armor that protects us from unbearable feelings. Then he went completely insane. This episode follows Reich's journey from Freud's most promising student to a paranoid exile shooting orgone energy at alien spacecraft. But here's the twist: His early insights about somatic trauma were revolutionary. They laid the foundation for every body-based therapy that actually works. https://gettherapybirmingham.com/the-weird-history-of-psychotherapy-part-3-wilhelm-reich/ https://gettherapybirmingham.com/what-are-wilhelm-reichs-character-styles/ https://gettherapybirmingham.com/wilhelm-reichs-analysis-of-fascism-enduring-wisdom-and-controversial-reception/ https://gettherapybirmingham.com/the-curious-case-of-wilhelm-reich/ https://gettherapybirmingham.com/john-c-lilly-when-dolphins-drugs-and-the-deep-end-of-consciousness-collided-in-the-psychedelic-70s/   You'll learn about: Character armor: how the body holds emotional pain The knife incident that got him expelled from psychoanalysis Orgone energy, cloudbusters, and weather control experiments Einstein's basement test that debunked Reich's cosmic theories The FBI raid that destroyed his life's work How his somatic discoveries live on in modern trauma therapy Discover the untold story of how trauma therapy evolved from Freudian analysis to revolutionary body-based healing approaches that preceded "The Body Keeps the Score" by decades. This evidence-based deep dive explores the pioneering work of Wilhelm Reich, Carl Jung, and Fritz Perls who discovered that trauma lives in the body long before modern neuroscience proved them right. Learn why your physical symptoms might be stored emotional memories and how the therapeutic revolution of the 1960s changed psychology forever. What You'll Learn: Why Reich was expelled from psychoanalytic institutes for discovering "character armor" How Jung's archetypal psychology laid groundwork for modern therapy approaches The real story behind Fritz Perls and the birth of Gestalt therapy Why America abandoned somatic approaches for cognitive behavioral therapy How trauma gets trapped in muscles, creating chronic tension and pain The scientific evidence behind body-based trauma treatment Perfect for: Mental health professionals, trauma survivors, psychology students, anyone interested in the history of psychotherapy, and those seeking alternatives to traditional talk therapy.

“You're not alone, you're not crazy—and with God's help, you can build confidence and walk in truth.” Have you ever felt like you weren't good enough? Like you didn't belong or couldn't trust your own decisions? Maybe you've wrestled with anxiety before speaking up, or feared being rejected in relationships. If so, you're not alone. In this special “Coaches Takeover” episode, Coaches Susan and Diana get real about a struggle that touches every woman at some point: insecurity. They peel back the layers to explore what insecurity really is, how it forms, how it shows up in everyday life—from career and finances to relationships and social settings—and how to move forward with confidence, clarity, and faith. With biblical insight, relatable stories, and practical tools, this episode will help you identify hidden roots of insecurity and take the first step toward freedom. Understanding the Root of Insecurity Insecurity isn't just a feeling—it's often a long-standing belief shaped by past wounds, trauma, criticism, or comparison. Susan and Diana explain how insecurity is usually built on perception rather than truth, and how that perception becomes a lens that affects everything from your self-worth to your ability to make decisions. Types of Insecurity—and Where You Might See Yourself From public speaking to parenting, marriage to money, insecurity shows up in many forms: personal, relational, social, professional, and financial. The coaches share vulnerable stories from their own lives (yes, even beach towel choices and Ph.D. paths!) to illustrate how insecurity can limit growth and paralyze action. The Body Keeps the Score Insecurity doesn't just stay in your head. It shows up in your body—through anxiety, overthinking, or even chronic stress. You'll learn how physical dysregulation can keep you stuck and how being curious (not critical) about your reactions can be a powerful path to healing. Shifting from Perfectionism to Purpose When insecurity drives perfectionism, it keeps you focused on your flaws instead of your impact. The coaches offer a mindset shift: let go of the need to be perfect and embrace being human. Showing up, even imperfectly, is powerful—especially when you focus on helping others rather than proving yourself. From Shame to Strength: A Biblical Perspective Going all the way back to Genesis, we see insecurity take root when we begin to question who we are and who God is. Susan and Diana remind us of the enemy's tactics and encourage us to put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–12), standing firm in truth and identity as beloved daughters of the King. You Are Not Alone Friend, insecurity may whisper that you're not enough—but the truth is, you are deeply loved, uniquely created, and equipped by God for purpose. You don't need to stay stuck in fear. With His help, you can show up strong, stand in your worth, and walk in freedom. We're so glad you're here. If this episode encouraged you, would you share it with a friend or leave a review? You never know who might need the hope and healing God has for them through your simple act of sharing. Until next time, keep leaning into courage, wisdom, and the One who loves you most.

In this episode, we tackle the challenging but vital question: How can we support nervous system regulation when someone isn't in a safe environment? Drawing from Deb Dana's Polyvagal Theory expertise and current research, we explore practical strategies for both practitioners and individuals navigating unsafe circumstances.In this episode you'll learn:How to identify small touch points that can activate brief ventral vagal statesSpecific techniques practitioners & individuals can use to support clients/themselves in unsafe environmentsMicro-practices for self-regulation during ongoing stress or threatThree Takeaways:Even in unsafe environments, small "safety or regulating anchors" (objects, memories, connections) can provide crucial moments of regulation. The goal isn't permanent regulation in unsafe circumstances, but creating brief reminders that another state exists.Oftentimes the first step in healing is acknowledging the reality of one's situation, not minimizing or denying it. Whether you're a practitioner or the individual going through it, remember that your struggle makes sense, your survival responses make sense.Recognizing and savoring these micro-moments of "safe enough" builds neural pathways that support resilience over time.Resources/Citations:National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233"Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection" by Deb Dana"Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory" by Deb DanaLevine, P.

THIS IS A REPLAY OF 2024 - WEEK 23 All the links: LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISONThis is a podcast about knowing yourself and having sustainable practices.Developing and sustaining a daily meditation practice for over 25 years helped me gain a deeper level of self-awareness. I have learned that the more I practice the more I gain a level of self-mastery with what I am practicing. Being self-aware and having personal insight allows me to recognize when I need to focus on a specific tool or technique, MORE.I remember when I was at dinner with a few former colleagues in 2017 and an active shooter entered the restaurant. We were ending dinner when we heard the words, “Everybody down.” I was with three much younger ladies reminding them to breathe and affirming that we would be okay.Was I concerned as we were underneath the table waiting for more news? Of course. I also had a strong sense that we would all be fine.As the scene dispersed and the police arrived we found out that the person who instructed us to get down was a retired police officer. Time passed and the shooter was apprehended and we all left to return safely to our homes. One of the definitions of trauma is a “deeply disturbing or distressing experience.” Yep, I would say it was a traumatic experience. When I arrived home I checked in with TD and I immediately went to my living room and lay flat on my back on the floor. I found a sound vibration recording on YouTube that focused on healing, safety and feeling grounded. I listened to the recording and felt my body begin to release some of that energy and relax.The next day as I told my brother about what happened he reminded me to rest. After our conversation I felt my body physically releasing some of the stress and I had a very long nap. I also felt achy later that day. I knew I needed help processing what happened so I called the Employee Assistance Program and I was able to schedule counseling.  I also called the ladies to suggest they reach out for support via their Employee Assistance Program as well.This quote from Bessel A. van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, reminds me to be truthful with myself.“The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves.”My nervous system was impacted by that experience. I learned a lot in the therapy sessions about processing trauma and how the book title states, “the body keeps score.” We feel trauma in our bodies and it helps to have ways to release what the body is holding on to. I have different practices I use to keep grounded, stay centered and to release energy that is stuck in my body. Practice is the opportunity to fine tune our skills so when we are called to use them, we can use them effectively. Here are a few practices I do regularly to reduce stress on my nervous system.Emotional freedom technique (EFT) also known as tapping- specifically for trauma or an experience. I found Regulate Your Nervous System After Trauma by Julie Schiffman. Here is a ⁠link⁠.Schedule a counseling session,Sound vibration meditations to shift the energy in my body - Jhene Aiko's ⁠Trigger Protection Mantra⁠ is a staple for me to have playing in the background. It's very soothing and she has several available for different lengths.Life has unexpected detours ALL the time. In addition to breathing practices, meditation, laughter, and approaching experiences with  curiosity helps me practice less judgment of myself and others.What are some of the ways you navigate life's unpredictable journey?

A small leak during a big laugh might hint towards a bigger story. In this episode exploring the pelvic floor, Dr. Olga Ramm and patient Nicole Curutchet answer the age-old question- what's really going on down there? Nicole Curutchet starts off by sharing her experience of developing pelvic floor prolapse, which felt like a “tampon that's halfway coming out.” She tackles the issue of finding the right provider, and shares about her surgery and recovery. On speaking out despite stigma, she says, “this is our bodies and it's the truth, and we don't want people to suffer, so why not talk about it?”   For many people with vaginas, pelvic floor leakage, pain, and other symptoms, are often dismissed as just a fact of life. Dr. Ramm and Nicole argue that it doesn't have to be that way. A variety of treatments exist for managing pelvic disorders, including physical therapy, insertable devices, and surgery.   As Dr. Ramm reveals “birth remains the most common inciting injury to the pelvic floor...It's something that affects a whole lot of us.” Dr. Ramm also discusses research that shows that trauma of all kinds impacts the pelvic floor, “almost like a linear relationship between the number of adverse events that you report and the prevalence of chronic pelvic pain.”  In a topic often characterized by silence, Dr. Ramm encourages providers to proactively ask about the pelvic floor. She emphasizes the value of informing patients about all the types of care available to them and respecting patient autonomy: “You don't have to follow a specific algorithm. Let the patient make the choice based on their individual values, their goals for themselves and their own personal case scenarios that they want to avoid.”   Dr. Olga Ramm's Website: https://www.ucsfhealth.org/providers/dr-olga-ramm   UCSF Center for Urogynecology and Women's Pelvic Health: https://www.ucsfhealth.org/clinics/center-for-urogynecology-and-womens-pelvic-health Study That Links Duration of Pushing Phase to Degree of Obstetric Anal Sphincter, Led By Dr. Olga Ramm Injuries: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29324610/ Chronic Pelvic Pain Society of North America: https://www.pelvicpain.org/public The Body Keeps the Score: https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score   Past episodes of our podcast to follow this one up:   Vagina Obscura: A Conversation with Rachel E.

You are familiar with the advice that you shouldn't go grocery shopping when you are hungry because you will spend more money and buy more junk. However, that's just a piece of story. Hunger and shopping are related in other ways. This episode begins by explaining how. https://phys.org/news/2015-03-hungry-people-food.html#google_vignette The idea that spending too much time on your phone, tablet or computer is bad for you has become conventional wisdom. But is that true? What does the research say about this? It turns out it's not black and white, there are shades of gray worth understanding. Here to explain this is Jacqueline Nesi. She is a psychologist and assistant professor at Brown University who writes the popular weekly newsletter Techno Sapiens (https://technosapiens.substack.com), which provides tips to manage your screen time better. She has published over 50 peer-reviewed publications related to technology use and has appeared on CNBC, CNN, and NPR. Your body is an amazing collection of processes and systems that all work to keep you alive and moving. Most of us have no idea what goes on inside of us to make it all happen so, here to explain some of it and unravel a few mysteries of the human body and explain why we can't live forever, how the body defends itself, why we need to sleep and so much and more is Dr. Darragh Ennis. He is a scientist and researcher who has worked at the University of Oxford and the University of Glasgow and he is author of the book The Body: 10 Things You Should Know (https://amzn.to/42ApkC5).

In the wake of updates to Child Safety Standards emerging from Australia's Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Mirriam Francis wrote to Victoria's Commission for Children and Young People outlining the ways in which she sees Scientology teachings and practices to be violating these standards. While concepts of religious freedom and choice can muddy the waters of certain discussions around coercive organisations, Mirriam sees the regulations and laws to protect children as a key lens through which such practices need to be viewed and pursued.

The moment you choose to change your relationship to money is the moment you change every single generation ahead of you. In this episode of Finding Brave, top financial wellbeing speaker, multi-award-winning Financial Coach, and international author Catherine Morgan joins us to talk about a vitally important topic: when money feels dangerous and how to heal our survival response to wealth. A Financial Wellbeing Speaker, multi-award-winning Financial Coach, and international author of the bestselling book It's Not About the Money, Catherine presents a trauma-informed psychological approach to money. As the founder of The Money Panel®, Catherine trains financial professionals through her acclaimed Financial Coach Certification program, and works with consumers through empowering courses and retreats.  Recognized as one of the top 32 female entrepreneurs by Business Leader, her expertise has been featured in a wide array of top media and her podcast It's Not About The Money is in the top 0.5% in the world. Catherine's journey into financial coaching began with her own realization of how emotions and money are deeply connected. She unpacks the hidden blueprint of abundance that we inherit, particularly from maternal relationships, and how these subconscious beliefs can impact our financial well-being. We also discuss the core beliefs that influence financial health, as well as the new paradigms of wealth, expansion, and contraction. Catherine sheds light on the powerful emotions of shame and guilt around money, how they manifest in the body, and the essential practice of reclaiming your worth beyond financial status. Finally, Catherine offers a simple yet transformative piece of advice that is relevant for everyone, no matter where they are in their financial journey. Through forgiveness work and deep self-acceptance, she reveals how we can release financial fear and step into a healthier, more empowered and loving relationship with money. If you're ready to shift your financial story and experience and embrace true wealth as it feels most heart-aligned for you, this episode is a must-listen.   Key Points From This Episode:  Welcome to Catherine Morgan, who is also featured in the Finding Brave Episode 205 and 206 in our 2-part series about Building Financial Wellbeing Into the Heart of Your Life and Work.

March is a weird one. It's the start of spring, a time for new beginnings, but for host Caitlin Fisher, it's also a heavy traumaversary—marking seven years since leaving an abusive relationship. In this episode, Caitlin unpacks what healing looks like (spoiler: it's pretty messy), how trauma responses sneak into even the most mundane moments, and what it's like to be in a healthy relationship while still unlearning old survival patterns.TL;DR: Expect deep feels, a little self-compassion pep talk, and maybe even a “Wow, I thought it was just me” moment!

Join us as dance movement therapist Lisa Manca, alongside guest co-host Courtney Romanowski, unveils the transformative power of dance therapy. Lisa brings her expertise from forensic and psychiatric settings, offering unique insights into how movement can aid personal growth and healing.

Drawing on insights from literature like "The Body Remembers" and "The Body Keeps the Score," we delve into the neurobiological aspects of how the body retains memories and how dance therapy can facilitate emotional release and foster a sense of safety.In our final segment, we explore the role of dance therapy workshops in workplace wellness, emphasizing the importance of maintaining personal boundaries and recognizing movement biases.
