095 The Body Keeps the Clues
Description
In this episode, we explore how your body holds subtle (and not-so-subtle) clues about your needs, history, and healing. From nervous system whispers to tension patterns, your body carries messages that your mind might overlook.
We talk about:
- The difference between intellectual insight and somatic knowing
- How emotions, memories, and unmet needs can be held in the body
- The power of Breathwork in gently releasing stored tension
- Why muscle doesn’t just speak to strength—it can hold the weight of unprocessed experiences
- The importance of support, co-regulation, and compassionate integration
This isn’t a trauma deep-dive, but a heartfelt reflection grounded in personal experience and trauma-informed breathwork.
