Podcasts about Somatic

Functional healing isn't about bouncing back, it's about becoming more whole. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace are joined by somatic expert Veronica Rottman, founder of Soma School, to explore what happens when post-traumatic growth deepens into post-traumatic wisdom. Together, they unpack how healing often involves grief, identity shifts, and surrender, not just resilience and strength. You'll hear how emotions are constructed in the body, why dissociation and fawning are intelligent survival responses, and how safety is rebuilt through slow, titrated somatic experiences. We discuss how cultural narratives about “getting stronger” can overlook the body's need for modulation, rest, and relational repair. You'll learn how capacity building is nonlinear, why co-regulation and oxytocin-based safety cues matter, and how tending to wounds rather than fixing them can transform pain into embodied wisdom. Join us for a workshop, taking a deeper dive into Hormones, Stress and the Female Nervous System, combining applied neuroscience and somatics to support female cycles: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/female-nervous-system-workshop/   Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and framing: growth vs. wisdom 05:30 Emotions as predictions and survival patterning 14:00 Dissociation, boundaries, and identity shifts 22:30 Somatic titration, oxytocin, and co-regulation practices 31:00 Capacity, achievement, and health trade-offs 39:30 Reframing fawn and freeze as intelligent responses 47:00 Cyclical needs, rest, and redefining growth 54:00 Integration, tending, and systemic context 59:00 Takeaways and next steps Key Takeaways: Post-traumatic wisdom includes grief, ambiguity, and letting identities evolve, not only resilience. Emotions are constructed from interoception and predictions; safety cues can update those predictions. Small, consistent somatic doses help the system perceive more safety without overwhelm. Fawn and freeze are adaptive; meeting them with curiosity reduces shame and supports change. Capacity building is relational; co-regulation and oxytocin-supportive practices can expand what feels possible.

What if your healing isn't stuck — it's just waiting for your nervous system to feel safe? This week on The You-est You® Podcast, I sat down with somatic trauma expert Dr. Arielle Schwartz, to talk about trauma, generational healing, and why your vagus nerve (yes, that magical nerve) might be the KEY to rewiring your life from the inside out. Here's the part most people never hear in their healing journey: Trauma isn't just in your mind. It's stored in your body. And your nervous system can be rewired — even after years of shutdown or survival mode. If your nervous system has been whispering (or shouting), “Something needs to shift…” — this is your invitation. Let this episode be a reminder: You are not broken. Your body is speaking. And healing is always possible.   Takeaways Arielle's journey began with early adversity and trauma. Somatic healing practices can help reconnect with the body. Intuition plays a crucial role in understanding our healing journey. Post-traumatic growth emphasizes resilience and strength. Adversity is part of the story but does not define it. Healing is a lifelong journey that requires compassion. Generational trauma can impact our present experiences. We can learn to hold both our struggles and strengths. The body keeps the score of our emotional experiences. Pain can serve a purpose in fostering compassion and empathy.     About Dr. Arielle Schwartz Dr. Arielle Schwartz is a clinical psychologist, internationally recognized trauma expert, and author known for bridging somatic healing, nervous system science, and spiritual resilience. She specializes in complex trauma recovery, vagus nerve regulation, and embodied healing, guiding thousands worldwide through her teachings on post-traumatic growth and embodied presence. Her work empowers people to reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their inner wisdom, and access nervous-system-led healing.   About Your Host, Julie Reisler Join Julie Reisler weekly, podcast host, intuitive coach, author, and multi-time TEDx speaker, each week to learn how to access your spiritual gifts and inner guidance to be your You-est You® and achieve greater inner peace, spiritual connection, happiness, and abundance.

In this episode of the Sound Therapy Network Podcast, we explore the powerful practice of body mapping, a foundational element of Somatic Sound Therapy™. Body mapping helps us understand how the body stores emotions, memories, and stress patterns. When we map these sensations and energetic imprints, we gain insight into what the body has been holding and how sound and vibration can release it. Whether you're a sound therapy practitioner, energy healer, or client that is simply curious about the connection between the body and emotional healing, this episode will deepen your understanding of why body mapping is such an essential tool in trauma-informed and somatic work. In This Episode, We Discuss: What body mapping is and how it reveals where emotions are stored in the body Why Somatic Sound Therapy™ uses body mapping as a core step in every session How mapping sensations and energy blocks helps guide your sound healing sessions The connection between nervous system regulation, sound, and emotional release Why understanding the body's emotional landscape makes you a more effective and trauma-informed facilitator Key Takeaways The body holds a “map” of our emotional history, sound can help dissolve what is no longer serving us Integrating body mapping into your sound therapy practice allows for deeper, more intentional healing. Somatic awareness helps clients reconnect with their bodies, process stored trauma, and feel safe in their systems again. Somatic Sound Therapy™ is not just heard, it's felt. It is a tool for embodied transformation. Mentioned in This Episode: Somatic Sound Therapy Practitioner Certification & Mentorship Learn how to integrate body mapping, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed facilitation into your practice.

Show Notes:In this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the intricate world of somatic integration and its profound impact on our emotional and cognitive well-being. Our guest, Christoffel Snaders, brings over 30 years of experience in coaching, psychotherapy, and leadership training to our discussion, offering deep insights into the dynamic interplay between our head, heart, and gut.Christoffel Snaders highlights that human behavior is not fixed but is a dynamic process shaped by the interplay of neural, emotional, and bodily systems. When these systems align through somatic coherence, individuals can achieve a state of attunement where body, mind, and emotions communicate fluidly. This alignment fosters clarity, resilience, and adaptive connections, which are essential for effective emotional regulation.Timestamps:[00:03:06] Somatic coherence and emotional clarity.[00:05:08] Somatic processes and decision-making.[00:09:12] Somatic integration and trauma.[00:11:06] Body's response to trauma.[00:14:37] The complexity of body cells.[00:18:03] Questioning Quantum biology and energy fields.[00:22:58] Placebo effect in therapy settings.[00:26:15] Logic in the head.[00:29:58] Heart and memory connection.[00:31:48] Heart and gut dominance.[00:37:08] Misinterpretation of bodily sensations.[00:42:00] Importance of observation in therapy.[00:45:29] Observation and somatic awareness.[00:48:05] Psychological safety in therapy.[00:50:55] Tailoring sessions to client needs.[00:54:49] Tailoring sessions for clients.[00:59:04] Three brains intelligence resources.[01:00:31] Human connection and collaboration.—CreditsFeatured Guest: Christoffel SneijdersHost: Jeffrey BeseckerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.Music by Aloft Meade and Jeffrey Besecker“Integration” by Aloft Media“Miss Undrestanding”  written by Jeffrey Besecker“Meaningful Connections” by Aloft Media

Self-compassion is a powerful, learnable skill in eating disorder recovery. In this conversation with registered social worker, grain farmer, and mom of five, Carrie Pollard, MSW, we explore how compassion lowers shame, supports motivation, and helps people replace harmful coping with kinder, sustainable care. We talk about trauma-informed treatment, somatic awareness, DBT skills, and what self-compassion looks like in real sessions and real life. What You'll Learn What self-compassion really is: noticing suffering and responding to it with care, based on the Mindful Self-Compassion model by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer. Why “the why” matters: exploring roots like trauma and chronic stress helps people understand why symptoms once protected them and how to meet those needs differently. Behavioral tools and deeper work together: how CBT, FBT, and skills work can sit alongside bottom-up, body-based approaches and insight-oriented therapy. Backdraft in self-compassion: why big feelings can surge when kindness finally lands, and how to ride emotional waves safely. Somatic cues and capacity: using body signals, boundaries, and micro-pauses to prevent overload, especially for high-achieving, people-pleasing clients. Rural and farmer mental health: unique barriers to care, higher anxiety and depression in farm communities, and why accessible, virtual support matters. Key Takeaways Self-compassion reduces shame and increases motivation, which supports behavior change in anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, and long-term recovery. You can ask two steady questions throughout healing: What am I feeling? and What am I needing? Emotional waves peak and pass. Skills from DBT and mindful self-compassion help you surf them without self-criticism. Recovery grows when systems of care address trauma, body image, diet culture, and access barriers faced by rural, disabled, neurodivergent, and larger-bodied people. Guest Carrie Pollard, MSW is a registered social worker in Ontario, Canada, @compassionate_counsellor. She brings two decades of clinical experience, deep community ties in agriculture, and a trauma-informed lens to eating disorder treatment. She co-founded a national farmer mental health initiative and participates in the Waterloo-Wellington Eating Disorder Coalition.

Notable Moments Naming self-compassion backdraft so clients can expect it and feel less afraid. Using hand-over-heart and paced breathing when words are hard. Reframing symptoms as once-useful survival strategies, then building new supports. Embracing imperfection in therapy and life to align with authenticity and values. Who This Episode Supports People in eating disorder recovery who feel stuck in shame or fear that kindness will make them “stop trying.” Clinicians seeking to integrate mindful self-compassion, somatic work, and DBT with behavioral protocols. Rural and farming families who need accessible, culturally aware care options. Neurodivergent folks and anyone navigating sensory overload, perfectionism, or people-pleasing.

Welcome to The Superhumanize Podcast. I'm your host, Ariane Sommer, and today we're diving into one of the most paradigm-shifting conversations in modern medicine: the metabolic theory of cancer.For decades, we've been told that cancer is primarily a genetic disease, a matter of unlucky mutations that require aggressive pharmaceutical interventions. But what if that's only part of the story? What if cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disease, a disorder of cellular energy production that we can address through diet, lifestyle, and targeted metabolic therapies?This isn't fringe science. And it's giving patients new hope, and new options, beyond the standard cut, poison, and burn model. Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Donese Worden to the show. Dr. Worden is a board-certified Naturopathic Medical Doctor, researcher, and global health educator who has dedicated her career to bridging conventional and alternative cancer care. She's collaborated with Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, served as CEO of Care Oncology, and works directly with Dr. Seyfried on metabolic cancer research. She's also the creator of the 7 Pillars of Health framework, a comprehensive approach to resilience that addresses everything from sleep and gut health to spiritual wellbeing.Dr. Worden's motto is 'Educate, Empower, Enlighten,' and that's exactly what we're going to do today. We'll explore the metabolic theory of cancer, discuss both prevention and treatment strategies, and give you a roadmap for building resilience at every level.Episode Highlights00:00 Welcome + why the “metabolic theory of cancer” matters02:00 Genetics vs. metabolism: why only ~5% is strictly genetic (and gene expression is modifiable)03:45 Warburg's mitochondrial lens; PET scans lighting up because cancer voraciously consumes sugar06:45 How we veered away historically; incentives that kept oncology gene-centric09:00 What damages mitochondria today: toxins, antibiotics (without mitigation), chronic stress10:30 Stress as a metabolic driver; why it keeps glucose high even on a “good” diet12:30 Ketogenic therapy for cancer: high fat, lower protein (individualized), carbs mainly from veggies15:00 Measuring correctly: Keto-Mojo, GKI (Glucose-Ketone Index); skip urine strips for accuracy17:00 Fast stress relief protocols: music-guided entrainment, breath work, active meditation, journaling20:15 Somatic breath work in practice; rapid emotional release21:00 Best fats and how Dr. W screens with food-sensitivity testing first23:15 Keto cycles for prevention: 6-week blocks a couple times per year24:15 Exercise as mitochondrial medicine: HIIT + resistance for biogenesis and cancer risk reduction26:00 The KetoPet model: ketogenic diet + HBOT + interval training; lessons for humans28:15 Starting movement in late-stage cases; meeting people exactly where they are30:15 “Press–Pulse” strategy: what stays constant vs. what's pulsed to outsmart tumor adaptation32:00 Repurposed meds (e.g., metformin, doxycycline) and why many oncologists can't step outside SOC33:00 Bridging care: when surgery/chemo/radiation have a role; aiming at cancer stem cells37:15 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): driving O₂ into cells; why it's pulsed and protocol-specific39:30 Outcomes Dr. W sees most consistently: better quality of life, often longer survival41:00 The psychology of prognosis; belief, stress, and manifestation43:00 The “placebo” as your body's own pharmacy (parasympathetic healing state)44:15 Targeting glutamine along with glucose; where evidence stands now (e.g., berberine, exercise, stress)46:45 The Seven Pillars of Health overview (self-audit)48:30 Pillar 1 — Sleep: deep/REM, how you feel on waking49:15 Pillar 2 — Body: strength,...

Episode 99 ✨Safety First: The Real Secret Behind Confidence and Consistency We talk a lot about motivation, mindset, and momentum… but the truth is, you can't be consistent if you don't feel safe in your body. In this week's episode, Dorothy explores how real confidence and calm are built—not from control or overdoing, but from the deep inner safety that lets you relax, trust, and grow. You'll learn:

In this conversation, Lawrence Joss interviews Vivian Marrake, a somatic trauma-informed coach, who shares her insights on somatic therapy and its transformative power in healing emotional pain, particularly in the context of parental alienation. Vivian discusses her personal journey through divorce and how somatic practices helped her reconnect with her body and emotions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of acknowledging one's feelings, building resilience, and the role of co-regulation in parenting. Vivian provides practical tools for parents to support their children in navigating their emotions and developing self-trust.Key TakeawaysWhen someone starts to see you and hear you, it shows us that we matter.Somatic therapy can be a life-changing experience.The body holds our experiences and reactions before our mind does.Resilience is about how quickly we return to our center.Co-regulation is a powerful tool for parents.It's okay for children to feel their emotions.Children need to learn that they are the experts on themselves.The silver bullet for healing is often within us.Acknowledging our struggles is the first step to healing.Building resilience involves softening and reconnecting with our bodies.Chapters00:00 - The Importance of Acknowledgment02:45 - Introduction to Somatic Coaching05:54 - Understanding Somatics08:58 - Personal Journey to Somatic Healing11:52 - The Power of Somatic Practices15:05 - Navigating Parental Alienation17:57 - Building Resilience Through Somatics20:54 - Co-Regulation and Parenting23:57 - Practical Tools for Parents27:08 - Empowering Children Through Somatic Awareness29:59 - Living the Somatic ExperienceIf you wish to connect with Lawrence Joss or any of the PA-A community members who have appeared as guests on the podcast:Email - familydisappeared@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lawrencejoss(All links mentioned in the podcast are available in Linktree)Vivian Meraki's Website: https://www.vivianmeraki.com/⁩Please donate to support PAA programs:https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=SDLTX8TBSZNXSsa bottom partThis podcast is made possible by the Family Disappeared Team:Anna Johnson- Editor/Contributor/Activist/Co-hostGlaze Gonzales- Podcast ManagerConnect with Lawrence Joss:Website: https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/Email- familydisappeared@gmail.com

Send us a textWhen the veil thins, the body becomes the first altar. In this candid, unfiltered conversation, somatic coach, witch, and trauma-informed Domme Melissa Gutierrez joins Leandra and Elyse to demystify somatics and show how movement reshapes mind, emotions, and (yes) magick. We explore the twin currents of sex magick and death work—how they naturally braid together in healing, grief, and rebirth—and why ethical containers, consent, and nervous-system literacy matter for real transformation.Melissa shares her cultural roots, what “sensation integration” looks like in practice, and how to work with triggers as teachers. We talk science-meets-mysticism, reclaiming the hips and voice from shame, adult agency in the body, and why community mirrors are essential for growth. If you've ever wondered how to actually feel energy, hold a vision through arousal, or approach spirit and ancestors without fear, this episode is your map.

Our teenage years were the bridge between innocence and identity, the time we began to discover who we are, what we believe, and how we express ourselves. For many of us, our teenage self still carries pain, shame, rebellion, or unmet needs that quietly shape how we show up in love, confidence, and emotional regulation today. In this episode of AbundanceHack, we dive deep into healing our inner teenager, the version of us who wanted to be seen, accepted, and free to express our truth. I share eight powerful reasons why healing our inner teenager is one of the most transformational things we can do for our emotional and relational wellbeing. Together, we explore how this healing work helps us: Stop abandoning ourselves when we feel misunderstood Reclaim our authentic voice Soften rebellion into grounded self-trust Release shame Improve relationships and emotional regulation Reconnect with passion, creativity, and joy Break generational patterns of silencing Make peace with both our sensitivity and our strength This is an episode to feel, not just listen to. Niajae shares stories, reflections, and gentle reminders that we are allowed to take up space, to feel deeply, and to express our truth without fear. If this topic resonates with you, there's a mini course inside the Healthy Love Healing App that guides us through a full Healing Our Inner Teenager journey, with journal prompts, somatic practices, and sound meditations to support our integration process.

This World Mental Health Day, I wanted to share something a little more personal. In this episode, I talk about my own journey, including the challenges that first drew me to psychology and how somatic approaches became the integration point for so many things I'd been seeking in my own healing. I also reflect on what it means to be with ourselves in moments of struggle, when asking for help feels impossibly hard, and when the parts of us that carry shame or fear feel especially loud. This isn't a clinical episode; it's a human one. You'll hear about the realities that shaped my path, why The Somatic Workbook for Nervous System Regulation and Anxiety Management is so close to my heart, and how the process of connecting body, mind, and compassion can help us move toward healing. We also explore the difference between self-soothing and self-care, and how both can open the door to deeper work, the kind that supports real integration and long-term regulation. Listen in if you've ever wondered why caring for your nervous system matters, or if you simply need a gentle reminder that you're not alone on your journey. —

Ooooof, making friends as an adult can feel HARD. If you're tired of surface friendships, you're craving deeper connections, and/or you're secretly judging yourself for not having found “your people” yet... you're going to seriously love this one. Let's just say that this episode is essentially a masterclass on *how to* make aligned friendships as an adult and tangible tips to grow your community. Monica goes deep into the energetics of effort, sisterhood wounding, navigating new seasons like motherhood or moving cities, and how your nervous system literally decides whether friendship feels safe or not. She's also getting into: 

Trauma isn't just an event—it's a complex, living pattern woven through our bodies, minds, and relationships. What if the path to healing isn't about breaking down defenses or pushing past resistance, but about honoring those very protections as parts of our whole self?   Shai Lavie's journey illuminates this radical shift. As a Hakomi and Somatic Experiencing therapist, Shai learned that trauma work flourishes when we stop battling our clients' “barriers” and instead bring curiosity and compassion to every part of their experience—even the parts that resist change. Imagine your nervous system not as a malfunctioning engine to be fixed, but as a profound intelligence signaling what it needs to survive and adapt.   In practice, this means holding space for a client's “resistance”, listening deeply to these “barriers” with genuine inquiry: “What wisdom might be present here? What story is this body telling me?” Such an approach transforms therapy from a power struggle into a collaborative voyage, where client and therapist become co-captains rowing in harmony, not opposition.   This relational, respectful method aligns beautifully with the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®) principles—where healing happens in connection, at the client's pace, and through mindful presence. It invites us all, as therapists and healers, to recalibrate our role: to cultivate safety not by conquering defenses, but by embracing them, fostering agency within the authentic self.   If you're a mental health professional eager to deepen your understanding of complex trauma and transform your therapeutic practice, we invite you to explore the upcoming NARM Therapist Trainings at the Complex Trauma Training Center. Join a community committed to growing both professionally and personally—where we learn that healing is not about fighting against our adaptive Self, but reconnecting with the resilient, compassionate, authentic Self.  

What if the very emotions you've been taught to push down are actually the doorway to your deepest healing and most aligned manifestation? ✨ This week on The You-est You® Podcast, I sat down with Kelly Noonan Gores, creator of the award-winning film HEAL.  Together, we explore why feeling is the path to healing, how vulnerability opens us to authenticity, and the truth about what it really takes to manifest the life your soul is calling for.  Kelly's story and wisdom will leave you inspired, empowered, and reminded of your own healing power.

In this raw and deeply validating conversation, I sit down with Nadine Zumot—Certified Money Coach and Somatic Practitioner—to explore how emotional spending, undercharging, and money shame are often survival responses rooted in trauma. Nadine's journey from financial chaos to embodied wealth wisdom is not only inspiring but incredibly relatable for anyone who's ever felt like they were “bad with money.” We talk about the nervous system's role in our financial decisions, why traditional budgeting advice doesn't work for trauma survivors, and how to begin cultivating a more compassionate and powerful relationship with money. If you've ever hustled for safety, overspent to feel worthy, or stayed small in your business out of fear—this episode is for you. You'll leave feeling seen, empowered, and ready to rewrite your money story.Connect with Nadine:https://www.saveamillioncents.comhttps://www.instagram.com/nadinezumot/https://www.saveamillioncents.com/empoweredspender❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“Emotional spending isn't a character flaw—it's a nervous system trying to regulate.”“Money trauma isn't just about not having money—it's about what you had to do to survive without it.”“You can't budget your way out of a trauma response.”“True financial empowerment begins when you stop bypassing your body's wisdom.”“You're not irresponsible with money—you've just never been taught to feel safe with it.”money trauma, emotional spending, money mindset, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, money coaching, financial trauma, undercharging, worthiness, holistic money healing, somatic practitioner, Nadine Zumot, nervous system and money, trauma-informed finance, financial empowerment, healing money wounds, podcast for women, money podcast, financial wellbeing

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin sits down with meditation teacher and social entrepreneur Dr. Fleet Maull to explore how Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness (NSM) intersects with psychedelic therapy. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-324/?ref=278  Fleet shares his journey from a 14-year federal prison sentence—where he founded the first prison hospice program and led daily meditation groups—to developing NSM, a radically embodied, neuroscience- and trauma-informed approach to practice. He explains how NSM trains five key brain networks, why embodiment quiets a noisy mind more reliably than “thinking about” the breath, and how pairing NSM with ketamine or psilocybin can help shift insights from state to trait. The conversation offers a grounded roadmap for practitioners and seekers who want deeper stability, safety, and integration in expanded-state work. Fleet Maull, PhD, CMT-P is an author, meditation teacher, mindset coach, and social entrepreneur working at the intersection of personal and social transformation. He is the founder & CEO of Heart Mind Institute, which integrates Western science with contemplative wisdom across trauma healing, resilience, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and conscious entrepreneurship. While serving a 14-year federal sentence (1985–1999), he founded Prison Mindfulness Institute and National Prison Hospice Association, catalyzing national movements in contemplative rehabilitation and end-of-life care. A senior Dharma teacher in Tibetan Buddhism and a Zen Roshi, Dr. Maull developed Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness (NSM), a deeply embodied, trauma-informed practice for healing and awakening. *This October 14–19, 2025, Paul will also co-host Heart Mind Institute's free online Microdosing & Psychedelic Retreats Summit, featuring 35+ global leaders including Paul Stamets, Deepak Chopra, and James Fadiman.

Today's guest is Hanna Hanula is a somatic healer, psycho-somatic guide, and intuitive wellness mentor who empowers high achievers — especially women — to reconnect with their bodies, uncover hidden emotional patterns, and transform chronic symptoms into pathways of healing. Hanna is a former financial analyst who transformed her own struggles with anxiety, ADHD, digestive issues, and internal hyperdrive into a deeply embodied practice. She draws from a rich blend of somatic therapy, naturopathy, nutrition, energy work, and intuitive guidance to help clients decode the body's messages and soften the grip of burnout, tension, and overwhelm.  In this conversation, we discuss personal experiences with anxiety and physical symptoms, the impact of childhood trauma, the importance of being present and listening to one's body and practical tools for nervous system regulation and the significance of living authentically and consciously.   We discuss:    Somatic healing connects the mind and body. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses. The body holds stories that need to be uncovered. Compassionate guidance is essential in healing. High-functioning individuals often disconnect from their bodies. Practices like humming can strengthen the vagus nerve. Living authentically involves being true to oneself. Mindfulness can help regulate the nervous system. Understanding our adaptations can lead to healing. We are not our diagnoses; we are complex beings.   Visit Hanna's website Follow Hanna on Instagram Connect with me on Instagram  ShopMy - What I'm Loving Lately

(She/Her) MACP, LMHCI am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Certified Yoga Teacher, and an Approved Supervisor in the state of Washington.I have spent over a decade researching the ways in which the body can heal from trauma through movement and connection. I have come to see that our bodies know what they need. By approaching our body with curiosity we can begin to listen to the innate wisdom our body has to teach us. And that is where the magic happens!I was raised within fundamentalist Christianity. I have been, and am still on my own journey of healing from religious trauma and religious sexual shame (as well as consistently engaging my entanglement with white saviorism). I am a white, straight, able-bodied, cis woman. I recognize the power and privilege this affords me socially, and I am committed to understanding my bias' and privilege in the work that I do. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively engage critical race theory and consultation to see a better way forward that honors all bodies of various sizes, races, ability, religion, gender, and sexuality.I am immensely grateful for the teachers, healers, therapists, and friends (and of course my husband and dog!) for the healing I have been offered. I strive to pay it forward with my clients and students. Few things make me happier than seeing people live freely in their bodies from the inside out!Danielle (00:28):Welcome to the Arise Podcast, conversations based in what our reality is, faith, race, justice, gender in the church, therapy, all matter of things considered just exploring this topic of reality.

And that is where the magic happens. So I hope you're as thrilled as me to have such an amazing co-host join me. Yeah, we're going to talk about reality and therapy. We're just jumping in. Jenny and I are both writing books.Jenny, I think it's funny that we are good friends and we see each other when we're around each other, but then if not, we're always trading reels and often they're like parodies on real life. Funny things about real life that are happening, which I've been, the theme of my book is called Splitting, and I know you write about purity culture, and a part of that I think really has to do with what is our reality and how is it formed? And then that shapes what we do, how we act, how we behave in the world, how we relate to each other. So any thoughts on that? On Thursday, September 25th,Jenny (02:17):I mean, as you named that, I think 10 minutes before this started, I sent you a reel. There was a comedian singing Why She Doesn't Go to Therapy, and it says, all my friends that go to therapy are mean to me, and you don't have boundaries. You're just being an asshole. And it was good, but it was also existential. This was what seems to me a white woman. And I do think as a white woman who's a therapist, I feel existential a lot about the work I do in therapy and in healing spaces, and how we do this in a way that doesn't promote this hyper individualistic reality. And this idea that everything I see and everything I think is the way that it is, how do I stay open to more of a communal or collective way of knowing? And I think that that's a challenging thing. So that's something that comes to mind for me as you bring up Instagram reels.Danielle (03:26):Oh man, I have so many thoughts on that that I wasn't thinking before you said it, but I think they were all locked in a vault, been unleashed. No, seriously. You come from your own position in the world. Talk about your position and how did you come to that point of seeing more of a collective mindset or reality point of view?Jenny (03:47):I mean, honestly, I think a big part has been knowing you and working with you and knowing that I think we've had conversations over the years of both the privilege and the detriment that happens in a lot of white therapeutic spaces that say you just need detach from your family, from your community, from those who have harmed you. And I want to be very, very clear and very careful that obviously I do think that there are situations we need to extract ourselves from and remove ourselves from. And I think that can become disabling for bodies to, I've been having this thing play in my head lately where I'm like, are you healed? Or have you just cut off everyone that triggers you?Yeah, and I saw another, speaking of meme, it was like, I treat my trauma like Trump treats tariffs. I just implement boundaries arbitrarily, and they harm everyone.And so I think it's, there is a certain privilege that comes with being able to say, I'm just going to step away. I'm going to do my own thing. I'm going to do my healing journey. And I think there is a detriment to that and there's a loss. And I think we have co-evolved to be in community and to tell stories and to share reality and to hold reality in the tension of our space. I think about it as we each have a different lens. There's no objective reality, but if I can be open to your lens and you can be open to my lens, then we actually have two lenses, and then if we have five lenses or 10 lenses, we can have a much fuller picture of where we are rather than seeing the world through the really monochromatic white, patriarchal, Christian nationalist lens that we've been maybe conditioned, or at least I was conditioned to see the world through.Danielle (06:10):Yeah. Whoa. Yeah, I know we've talked about this so many times, and I think it just feels so present right now, especially as every moment it feels like every day. If you watch the news, if you don't take a break, I think you can be jarred at any moment or dissociated at any moment, or traumatized at any moment, or maybe feel a bit of joy too when someone says a smack down on your side of the issue. And I think that when we get in that mode of constantly being jarred and then we try to come into a healing space, it's like how do we determine then what is actually healing for us? What is actually good? What is actually wise? And I agree, I think if we're in a rhythm of being on our own, and I'm not criticizing, I mean, I get lonely and I'm part of a group, so I'm not speaking to loneliness particularly, but I'm speaking to the idea that no one else has input in your life, even the kind of input you may not agree with, but no one else is allowed to speak to you.(07:15):When I get in those spaces, it's not that I just feel lonely, I don't feel any hope. I don't feel any movement or any possibility because let's say that this ends tomorrow, that authoritarian regime magically ends. It's healed tomorrow. We're going to have to look at all of our people in our lives and face them and decide what we're going to do. I mean, that's what I think about a lot. At the end of the day, I might sit next to someone that hates me or that I perhaps might have rage and anger towards them. What are we going to do? So I don't know, when you talk about the different lenses, I'm not sure how that all mixes together. I don't have an answer, basically. Shoot.Jenny (08:05):But I also think that that's part of maybe how we hold reality is maybe it is more about presence and being with what is, rather than having an answer, I think I become more and more skeptical of anyone who says they have an answer for anything.Danielle (08:31):So I mean, there was this guy that recently passed away, and there was, on one hand I wanted to really talk about it, and on the other hand, I didn't want to talk about it because it took up so much space. And I feel that even as we start to talk about how do we form healing spaces in therapy with that, I think, what did you call it that, what kind of lens did you say? It was like a monochromatic lens. How do we talk about that without centering it?Jenny (09:08):I think one thing that comes to mind is holding it in context of all of the other deaths that have not taken up that space. And the social studies phrase, what are the conditions of possibility that have enabled this death to create church services happening that have taken over people's social media, people who have been silent about lots of different deaths in the last year or five years, all of a sudden can't help but become really vigilant about talking about this. I think for me, it helps to zoom back and go, how come? Why is this so prevalent? Why is this so loud? What is this illuminating or what is this unearthing about? What's already been here?So I grew up in very fundamentalist, white evangelical Christianity. And from the time I was eight, nine years old, I had in me messages instilled of martyrdom, whether that was a message that I should be a martyr, or whether that was a message that Christians were already being martyred, whether that was the war against Christmas with Starbucks cups or not having prayers happen at school. And these things where I grew up in this world where we were supposed to be prominent, we were supposed to be prevalent, we were supposed to be protected. And whenever there was any challenge to that from bodies that weren't white or straight or Christian or American, there became this very real frenzy around martyrdom. And I think on an interpersonal level and on a collective level, someone who plays the victim will always hold the most power in the relational dynamic. And so I think that this moment was a very useful moment to that psyche and that reality of seeing the world as a victim, as a martyr, as being persecuted, regardless of the fact that evangelical Christians are the strongest floating block in our nation. They have incredible privilege when it comes to a lot of education, marriage inequality, things like that, that are from the long lineage of Christian nationalism in our country.Danielle (12:15):So then how do you work with folks that are coming in with that lens, and what's the responsibility of our field? I know you and I can't answer that question necessarily, but we can just say from our own experience what that's like. Are you willing to share a little bit of that?What would I say? My client load is mixed and so do a lot of work, but just because it's mixed doesn't mean that I'm not currently undoing that process in myself as well. So I think just as much as therapy is about whoever comes into my office or shows up in the zoom room or even a group or a teaching we've been a part of, I think it's, well, I mean we say this co-created, but I actually mean it means I have to keep learning. I have to keep trying to be in my body. And what I mean by that is I was talking to my friend Phil yesterday, and he was like, Danielle, are you tracking your body sensations? And he's like, I just challenge you to do that today. And I was like, man, that that's a good reminder. So I think one way I try to come with clients is from the perspective of I don't know it all.(13:38):I only know what I'm feeling and sensing in this moment, and I have that to offer along with other things I've studied, of course. But just because the person sitting with me doesn't have a degree or the group and the people, doesn't mean they don't know just as much as me. It's just another form of maybe learning or knowing or presence and healing. And then we're figuring that out together. I see that as one way of undoing, undoing this. I know everything point of view, which I kind of felt like I had to have when I came out of grad school. Yeah,Jenny (14:14):Yeah, totally. Yeah, I feel similar and I think often think in quotes. And so one of my favorite quotes is by Simone Devo, and she says, without a doubt, it is always more comfortable to endure blind bondage than to work for one's liberation. And so I am consistently asking, where is my blind bondage? Who are the people in my life that will show me where my blind bondage is? Who are the people that will hold me accountable to my own liberation? And for me as a therapist, I work primarily with white folks who grew up in fundamental Christianity. And over 10 years of doing that work, I think that a primary part of my work is radical agency(15:13):Because I think that particularly white bodies maintain privilege by abdicating our agency and by being compliant with the systems that give us power and give us privilege. And so I think for me, my ethic is how do I help clients come into contact with their radical agency? And so a big part of that that I think is important is consent. And so if someone is coming to work with me, it's part of my disclosure form, it's part of my intake to say, I don't think our mental health concerns or our somatic concerns exist in a bubble. They are deeply impacted by the systems we move through. And so while we'll be engaging your individual body, we're also going to be engaging the collective structures. And I've had people say, no, I don't want to do that work. And I say, great, there are other lovely therapists that will work with you and be a better fit. That's just not the type of therapy I do. That's not within my scope of practice to only focus on the individual, because for me, that's unethical.Danielle (16:23):Oh, that's cool. I like that, Jenny. I think that a lot. I was consulting recently, and we're just talking about this current moment, and I'll just say from my point of view that even in my family, I noticed when something had gone on locally, we have some organizing that we do and we had some warnings go out. And I noticed even in my own family, the heightened anxiety, the alert, and one of the things we had to do was we took turns driving around just making sure everybody's safe and everybody was safe. And I came down and at the point where people began to lower anxiety, and we're talking about just regular business owners, regular people out there, we're not even talking about immigrants, quote migrants. We're just talking about people out there that don't want to encounter force. You could feel the anxiety just lower now that we went the parking lot's clear, no one's here, we're safe. This isn't happening, not today. I'm not saying it won't happen here in our area of the country, but it's not happening today. And I realized in consultation later about clients and stuff that things are going to, but the clinician I was consulting with just said to me, she said to me, just for your family, she's like, that anxiety is warranted. That's real. You're supposed to feel anxious. There's no way you can take that away for those people and you shouldn't.(18:02):And so just kind of learning, reminding myself, when you go to grad school, when you study therapy and psychology, there's pathological, there's diagnoses, all these things, but then there's some things like we just can't take away. They're part of the experience. They need to be there. They're part of the warning. And there's a reason why when you get out and do something practical for a community, the anxiety lowers. And I think that just gave me a lot of insight, not just for my client, but for my family and for myself. And there's some calm, not because I'm anxious, but because, oh, I'm not crazy. I'm not just making this up. And so I do think that speaks to how the system is creating trauma and it is powerless. What can we do against the big bad authorities? And we can do things, we can connect, we can be with people, but at some level, that baseline of anxiety is going to be there because it's warranted. That's how I think of it.What do we do? Well, we sat at home, we watched sports. We went to Best Buy, and this is not every, we had some privilege. We bought an extra controller to play Mario World or whatever it was. I don't remember, but I was like, I'm not playing on that little controller. They wanted me to hold. I was like, I need a real controller. I'm old. I need to be able to feel it in my hands. Just silly stuff. Just didn't put pressure on the kids to do homework. Not a pressure to clean the house, just to just exist. Just be, yeah. What about you? What do you do when you encounter either anxiety from trauma like that or the systemic pressure maybe to even conform to whiteness or privilege in that moment?Jenny (20:12):I typically need to move my body in some way, whether that's to take my dog on a very long walk or whether that's just to roll around on a dance floor or maybe do a yoga practice. I become aware of how my body is holding that, and I think about how emotions are just energy in motion. And so if we don't give them motion and expression, it becomes like a battery pack in our nervous system. And so I can feel that if I haven't been able to move and to express whatever my body needs to express, and often I don't even know cognitively what my body needs to express, but I've grown in trust that my body knows, and I say, I think the sillier we look the better it usually feels. I just saw this lovely post the other day, a movement person did where they, we talk a lot about brainwashing, but we don't talk a lot about body washing, and we are so conditioned to only move our body in certain ways. And because our body is not different than our brain, I think that the more free we feel in our actual physical body to our own ability, the more that can actually create a little bit more mobility in how we see reality and how we engage with it.Danielle (21:44):So take that back to the beginning where you started talking about how when you have clients come in, you're like, yo, we're going to address this systemically and collectively. What do you do with folks when they have that kind of energy and you guys are working through it and it's like, oh, it's like maybe that's collective energy. What do you do? Yeah,Jenny (22:02):Yeah. I ask my clients probably annoying amount of times each session, what do you notice right now? And then I follow their body. So if their body says like, oh, I feel a lot of tension in my gut instead of alleviating that, I go, okay, great. Can you actually exaggerate that tension a little bit and see what happens? See if that tension wants to come out in a snarl or a growl, or maybe you want to curl up in a ball and I just follow whatever the impulses of their body are. Or if they say like, oh, I feel a lot in my shoulders. I'm like, great. Do you want to go push against a wall or push against the floor or punch a pillow and let your body actually get some movement into those spaces that you're sensing?Well, as I said, I'm very skeptical about individual work, even though I do it, I don't think is all that. I think it is both necessary and not that helpful for the collective(23:21):Because it is individual. And so I actually do think we need collective spaces of moving and expressing and being in our bodies. I think our ancestors knew this for before Christian supremacy and then white supremacy and then capitalistic supremacy eradicated how we've evolved to move in our and collectively. That being said, I do think that the more we become aware of how our body is constrained and how we've been socialized, especially I think for anybody, but for me, I'll speak to white bodies, we aren't always conscious. We take for granted whiteness and how it affects our bodies. So the first time I'm asking a white person, especially maybe a white woman to look pissed, that's going to be probably really scary because socially we are not actually allowed to be pissed. We're allowed to be dams, souls, and we're allowed to freak out, but we're not actually allowed to be strong and be powerful and be angry. And so I do believe that in that work of individual liberation and freedom, it actually helps us resist those roles and those performances of white womanhood that then perpetuate collective harm.Danielle (24:49):I can see how that shift would really impact the way one person both connects with their neighbor or a different person, even same race or same culture, and would impact not only how they relate and connect to that person, but also just how they might love.Jenny (25:10):Yeah, because I think it is dangerous. It is disproportionately dangerous to oppressed bodies when white women aren't holding our own anger because I think that there is a deferral to the police, to governing bodies to different authorities when a white woman is actually pissed, rather than saying like, Hey, you did this and it pissed me off, let's work it out here. Oftentimes that ends up actually getting policed to authorities that then disproportionately harm oppressed bodies. And so I think it is essential for white women to grow our capacity to bear. No, I actually am pissed and I can acknowledge that and engage that and be with it in myself.I do. I do actually. So I have been working on a book for the last six years in which I'm looking at the socialization of young white women in purity culture and this political moment of Invisible children, which was this documentary style film that manipulated an entire generation of young white women to get involved in missions or development. And so as part of my research, I interviewed many white women who grew up in purity culture and became missionaries. And there were some that maybe still had good relations with organizations such as invisible children and felt threatened or maybe pissed that I was inquiring into this. And so instead of engaging and talking about the emotions that were coming up, they went straight to interrogating my IRB and then went straight to is this research ethical? Even though I could tell they were really just angry and upset about what I was interrogating, and I would've much rather we could have that conversation than this quick sense of I'm going to go to the structures while I can maintain feeling like this demure pleasantness of white womanhood, even though I could feel the energy. And that's an example for me, and I have white privilege, and so there was still threat there, but it was not probably to the same degree that it could be if I didn't hold that same power and privilege that I do.Scared. I felt really scared and I had done everything ethically. I had hired my own IRB to oversee my research. I did their protocol and still I felt the wielding of power and the sense of I can move the system to act against you if I don't like what you're doing. And so it was really, really scary. And then I had to move my anxiety and my body and I had to shake because what I do often when I get scared and I had to let my body discharge that adrenaline and that cortisol, and then I was able to back to myself and respond and say, it sounds like you have some concerns, and being interviewed is totally optional so you don't have to do it. And then I never heard back from 'em, and so it was just helpful for me to get to move that through. Even in part of that process,Danielle (29:27):Jenny, is that energy still in you now or is it gong?Jenny (29:30):Oh yeah, totally. I can feel my body vibrating and even there's that fear of like, oh shit, what's going to happen if I talk about this? I can feel the silencingThe demand to be small and not to expose it because then I'm open to fill in the blank. And so I can feel the sense of how power wants to keep us from speaking truth to power and to those that wield it.Danielle (30:02):Man, I want to swear so bad, motherfucker. I'm not surprised. But I do think I continue to allow myself to be shocked. And I think the thing is, I know this can happen. I know it will happen. I think both you and I are writing on topics that are very interrogate this moment in a very particular way that's threatening. And so although I'm not surprised, I am allowing myself to continually be shocked, not I want to re-traumatize myself, but I don't want to lose the feeling of there might be somebody good out there, this might be well received. And also I want to maintain that feeling of like, man, I really love my friend. I believe in her. And I think allowing myself to kind of hold all those things kind of just allows me to wake up for the moment versus just numbing out to it. Man,So vicious. It's so vicious because you aren't taking their money, you aren't literally hurting them physically. You're not taking their power, and yet there's this full force. You've dedicated your life to this thing and they could take you out.Jenny (31:19):Yeah, and I think it's primarily because I am questioning white women's innocence and I think based on how race and gender work, a white woman's privilege and power comes from this presumed purity and innocence. And so if we start to disrupt that and go, actually, I'm human and I've done some shit and I've, I've caused harm and I will cause harm, and that's actually a really important part of me working out my humanity. Then I'm stepping out of the bounds of being protected under white patriarchy.Danielle (32:06):I feel like I learned, I feel like so much resonance with that. I've had many similar experiences, but one stands out where right after the election I talked with a friend of mine on the phone, and I don't remember if she is a white colleague from same grad school and said something like, oh, it's just a bummer. And we didn't really talk about it. And I was like, that's all you could say. I thought about that. And later I sent a really kind text saying, Hey, that really hurt my feelings. I don't know. It doesn't make sense why we haven't talked about it more. And then I didn't hear back. It just went silent. This is someone I'd known for seven years.(32:45):Then later I called and I was like, Hey, what's up? And they're like, I can't believe you would write that to me If I ever engage you again, I want to start here. Some other random place. I was just sat back and I was like, I'm not giving this any more energy at that time. I said that to myself and it was just like the complete collapse when I said, you hurt my feelings, the complete collapse. When I said, I don't understand this, can we talk about it? And then I went through this period this summer of just having this feeling. I don't want to be at odds with people. So I left this person a voicemail saying, Hey man, can we talk? I haven't heard back from them, but I feel like I did my part. But I'm just struck it even in down from the big view, like the 30,000 foot view or how that person wants to reign the system on you to even interpersonally, if I don't like what you said, I'm just going to remove my presence,Jenny (33:51):Which I think again, is so much of the epidemic of whiteness. And I think it then produces such a fragility that's like I don't actually know how to bear open conflict and disruption because I'm not practiced at it, and I just will escape every time someone calls me to accountability or says something I don't like. And we can't stay in that place of tension.Yeah. Well, I think one is that I feel those tendencies so much in my own body, and I do think that we have capacity to metabolize them. And so I literally might say something like, great, could you let your body get up and run around the room or run in place? Or maybe you stay seated but you let your legs and your arms kick. And they think that if we even just let ourselves express I want to fight, or if I want to flee or I want to get away from this and we let our body do what we need to do, we can then come back to ourselves and have fuller access to our capacity. And again, sometimes I do think there are relationships or communities or things that we do need to step away from. And sometimes if we've only ever learned to say yes, we might go through a process where we swing to the other side and we just cut everyone out and then we get to learn how to have discernment and how to enter into relationships thoughtfully and how to know who are those people we will be investing in probably for a long time.(35:43):And so it's not denying that those impulses are there, but it's letting our bodies metabolize them and work through them. And it makes me think of res, menkin talks about dirty pain versus clean pain, and I think dirty pain is just like, this hurts. I'm going to avoid it. And just disconnect and dissociate clean pain is like this hurts and I'm going to press into it and I'm going to see what it can teach me and how I can grow into a stronger, more mature person through this process.Danielle (36:16):Man, that sounds like some good work you could do with somebody. I think the thing about therapy, coming back to what you said at the beginning is I think we want a quick answer. We want, we want to go to a retreat, we want to show up at the gym. In my case, I go to the gym often. We want to go somewhere, we want to feel like we did it, we accomplished it. And often at the gym, I can hear my coaches are saying just little steps. Every week and above doing lots of weight, it's showing up as much as you can, being consistent. And I kind of hear that in a little bit of what you're saying. It's not like getting to the end right away. It's tracking your body and the sensations and showing up for yourself even in that way.Jenny (37:08):And I think even like that, I love that analogy. I often say relationships are like muscles. They're only as strong as the ruptures that they can handle. And stronger muscles have had more and more and more and more ruptures. We build muscle through tearing and rebuilding. And I think that that's the same with relationship too. But if we've never torn, then we're so afraid of what's going to happen. If there is a rupture,Danielle:I don't know that we're going to heal that, but someone recently said the system is collapsing. It really is. It's coming down on itself. And I think really it's going to come down to the work that you talked about at the beginning, however people are choosing to see it. But one way you talked about it was that monochromatic lens and adding a lens, adding a lens. And I do think the challenge for all of us, even to form something new, whether that means new government, I don't know what it means, but just even a new way of being together set the government aside. It means really forming, adding lenses to ourselves. Jenny, I hope you're coming back to talk to me again.It's okay. Where can they find your stuff? Tell me.Jenny (38:42):Yeah, so I'm on Instagram at indwell movement, and then my website is indwell movement.com. So find me at either of those places, email me, reach out, send a message, would love to connect.Danielle (38:59):Okay, cool. Well, that's a wrap on this episode. If you can share, download, subscribe, tune into what we're talking about. But more important, have a conversation with a friend, a colleague, a neighbor, challenge your therapist, challenge your family. Don't forget to keep talking. And at the end of the show notes are resources, just some resources. They aren't the end all, be all of resources, but I'm putting 'em in there because I want you to know it's important to do resourcing for ourselves.

In this powerful episode, we are so excited to welcome back the incredible Beatriz Victoria Albina, Emotional Generator, somatic practitioner, life coach, and now author of her new book, End Emotional Outsourcing. Béa's warm, contagious energy invites us into a grounded conversation about healing codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. This conversation explores the deep impact of emotional outsourcing on our nervous systems, relationships, and authentic expression. You'll learn somatic practices like pendulation and orientation, mindset shifts to move out of self-blame, and empowering frameworks for navigating both personal healing and collective change. We also explore the importance of rewriting our internal narratives, and how human design can support the journey of reclaiming our true power. Whether you're new to these concepts or already on your healing journey, this episode offers compassion, practical tools, and profound reframes to help you live more authentically aligned.   Key Takeaways: What “emotional outsourcing” is and how it reframes codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. How to stop asking “What's wrong with me?” and start seeing your nervous system as brilliant and protective. How reframing your identity from “I am codependent” to “I have protective habits” changes everything. How Béa's personal journey as a 3/6 Generator shaped her work. The three core needs of safety, belonging, and worth, and how to source them from within. Why choosing authenticity over outsourcing is the ultimate act of freedom. Practical somatic tools to regulate your nervous system and heal past trauma. The role of kindness, community, and regulation in navigating uncertain times, and why community is a human survival code.   Connect with Beatriz Victoria Albina: Get your free meditations here: victoriaalbina.com/dayluna Her book: End Emotional Outsourcing Website: beatrizalbina.com Instagram: @beatrizvictoriaalbinanp Podcast:  Feminist Wellness Podcast YouTube: @beavictoriaalbina   DayLuna: 64 Gates & Gene Keys Mastery Course   FREE Transits & The Harmonic Gate Mini-Course FREE Human Design Readings 101 Masterclass   Join Your Human Design Besties Book a Reading With Us Here!   EXPLORE LUNYA Use code: DAYLUNA for 15% off   Human Design Chart Software: BodygraphChart.com Use code: DAYLUNA for 50% off your first 12 months!   Get our book: Your Human Design!

Betrayal doesn't just happen in your mind—it lives in your body. The racing heart, the tight chest, the endless mental loops that keep you awake at night… they're not just “in your head.” They're your body holding on to trauma. And while journaling, therapy, and mindset work can bring clarity, they don't always free you from the pain that's lodged deep within. That's why this conversation with betrayal recovery coach, TEDx speaker, and author Lora Cheadle is so powerful. Lora knows firsthand the devastation of infidelity, and she shares how somatic healing, hypnosis, and even burlesque-inspired movement can unlock joy, sensuality, and a true sense of safety after betrayal. Together, we explore how trauma gets stored on a cellular level and the surprising ways to release it, how hypnosis helps quiet the obsessive loops about the affair or the other woman, and why reconnecting with your sensual body is not just important—it's essential. Lora even introduces the playful, empowering practice of burlesque-inspired movement and Yogalesque® as a way to reclaim pleasure, confidence, and personal power. If you've been stuck reliving the same painful stories, this episode is an invitation to step out of your head and back into your body. Because real healing—and the freedom to fully live again—begins when your body feels safe enough to let go. Lora Cheadle brings not only her professional expertise but her lived experience of betrayal. After discovering her husband's 15-year affair, she turned heartbreak into a path of healing and joy, and now guides women through the emotional, energetic, and even ancestral layers of betrayal recovery. She's the author of FLAUNT! and It's Not Burnout, It's Betrayal, and the host of the FLAUNT! Create a Life You Love After Infidelity or Betrayal podcast. This episode is a compassionate reminder that your healing isn't just about making sense of the past—it's about reclaiming your body, your joy, and your life. Connect with Lora: Listen to the Flaunt!

She is driven by a passion to "make a difference in the skins."Cameron Richards, Licensed Massage Therapist• Role: As a licensed massage therapist, Cameron highlights the critical need for skincare education, which he personally received from Faiza• Perspective: He emphasizes that the average consumer often lacks the knowledge to select appropriate skincare products, potentially causing more harm than good. He notes, "...if I don't know much imagine the average person out there who just walks into a Target Walgreens and just pick up anything off the shelf because they think it's going to work and they end up doing more harm."• Focus on Education: Cameron ensures that education is a key component of the client experience at the spa, particularly for men who may not be aware of proper skin cleansing and exfoliation techniques post-shaving.Core Skincare PhilosophyTherapeutic Treatments over Standard FacialsFaiza distinguishes the spa's services from conventional facials, framing them as targeted treatments.• Quote: "These are not only facials. These are therapeutical treatments we do. We do not use the word treatment at this spa, but these are the therapeutical... facial for them."• Day Spa vs. Med Spa: Fisa clarifies that while med spa products contain highly "active" ingredients used under a doctor's supervision, the spa's professional-grade products are highly effective and bring about significant changes in the skin.A Holistic "Inside and Out" ApproachThe treatment philosophy is comprehensive, addressing skin health from multiple angles.• External Healing: In-office treatments focus on healing the skin from the outside using professional products and modalities.• Internal Healing: Clients are provided with products, such as vitamins from the Face Reality line, to promote healing from within.• Hydration: The importance of hydration, both oral and topical, is stressed for all skin types, including acne-prone and mature skin.Specialized Acne Treatment Program: The Face Reality Boot CampA cornerstone of the spa's offerings is a structured, results-oriented program for acne clients.• Objective: To clear the client's skin within 100 days (approximately 3 months).• Process: 1. Free Consultation: The process begins with a skin analysis and a thorough review of the client's current home care products and their ingredients. 2. Bi-Weekly Treatments: Clients come in every two weeks for in-office procedures. 3. Dedicated Home Care: Clients are instructed to use Face Reality products at home, which Fisa describes as "amazing" and working "like a magic."• Results Timeline: Clients typically begin to see a noticeable difference in their skin after just three weeks of consistent in-office treatments and home care.The Client Journey and Treatment ExperienceConsultation and In-Office Procedure• Initial Step: The client journey starts with a free consultation to analyze the skin and educate the client about products that may be exacerbating their condition.• Treatment Duration: The in-office session is efficient, lasting approximately 50 minutes.• Treatment Steps: A standard session includes cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and calming the acne.• Client Feedback: Following a treatment, clients report a distinct sensation of freshness. Fisa notes, "Most of my client... they tell me... we are feeling that our skin is breathing now." This is attributed to clearing clogged pores, allowing oxygen to penetrate the skin.Post-Treatment and Downtime• No Downtime: Clients can immediately return to their daily activities.• Minor Side Effects: There may be slight edema (swelling) or redness for 20 minutes to one hour following extractions, but this subsides quickly.Available Technologies and Targeted ConcernsSomatic Massage Therapy and Spa is equipped with modern modalities to address a variety of skin concerns.Technology / Treatment PurposeSaluma LED Light TherapyUtilizes different light wavelengths to treat skin.

In this episode of Life After Diets, host Stefanie Michele explores the strange tension of being “full but not finished.”Many people know the feeling: the body signals fullness, yet something inside still wants more. What does that reveal about the way we relate to food, our emotions, and ourselves? Rather than reducing the issue to hunger and fullness cues alone, this conversation looks at the cultural “shoulds” that hover over eating, the rebellion that comes from restriction, and the nervous system's role in making food feel safe or unsafe. Stefanie unpacks why stopping at the first sign of fullness often backfires, and why the experience of eating can be as much about psychology and emotional regulation as it is about physiology. The episode also weaves in a listener story about body image distress in an unexpected setting, highlighting how struggles with food are rarely isolated—they echo into how we manage overwhelm, shame, and self-perception in everyday life. The episode asks bigger questions about what we're really hungry for, how permission changes the eating experience, and what it takes to feel truly satisfied—not just physically, but emotionally too. binge eating recovery, intuitive eating, somatic practices, body image healing, nervous system regulation, food freedom, eating disorder recovery, fullness vs satisfaction, self-trust with food, emotional eating, diet culture recovery, Life After Diets Connect with Stefanie: Website: www.iamstefaniemichele.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/iamstefaniemichele Substack: www.substack.com/@iamstefaniemichele Email: stefanie@iamstefaniemichele.com

Let's be real… when you're struggling with anxiety, panic, or feeling disconnected from your body, it's so easy to fall into the trap of chasing quick fixes. But what if the real magic comes from the simple, not-so-flashy stuff?In this episode, I'm joined by Courtney Kramer, an IFS and somatic therapist, and we're talking all about the foundational tools that actually help... like observation, naming your emotions, tuning into sensations, and building a deeper connection with your body. You know… the things that seem too boring or basic to be effective, but are totally life-changing when you stick with them.Courtney shares so beautifully about how slowing down, noticing, and reconnecting with yourself in gentle, sustainable ways can shift everything, especially when you're used to being stuck in your head or fighting your emotions.We chat about:Why healing often feels slow, repetitive, and… kinda boring (and why that's not a bad thing!)What it really means to build a relationship with your body and emotionsHow to use tools like the emotion wheel, sensations list, and observation in everyday lifeWhy pacing and permission are SO important when you're doing somatic workHow these practices build safety, trust, and confidence over timeThis conversation is full of validation, encouragement, and practical tools you can start using today, especially if you've been feeling overwhelmed or stuck in your healing journey.SIGN UP FOR PANIC TO PEACE HERE: https://www.ahealthypush.com/live-panic-to-peaceCHECK OUT MY MASTERCLASSES HERE AND START EXPERIENCING LOTS MORE PEACE, JOY, & FREEDOM: https://www.ahealthypush.com/anxiety-classesA HEALTHY PUSH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypush/GET THIS EPISODE'S SHOW NOTES: https://www.ahealthypush.com/post/the-non-sexy-somatic-practices-that-lead-to-real-healing-with-courtney-kramer
