Healing Trauma in the Body: Somatic Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse | ANEW Ep 132
Description
In this powerful second half of the ANEW Insight interview, Dr. Supatra Tovar and trauma expert Dr. Meg Haworth dive deep into healing trauma stored in the body, focusing on somatic recovery from narcissistic abuse. They explore how the body holds trauma from narcissistic abuse and reveal what it truly takes for healing trauma and effective recovery. Dr. Meg begins with a vital insight: “The body remembers what the mind forgets.” Survivors of narcissistic abuse experience chronic emotional charges such as guilt, shame, fear, and rage that become trapped in muscles, fascia, the nervous system, and the gut, leading to symptoms like chronic pain, anxiety, and emotional numbness.
This episode unpacks trauma stored in the body, the dissociation survivors face, and why talk therapy is often insufficient. Dr. Meg presents the Whole Person Integration Technique, a somatic healing modality designed to help clients connect with stored emotional energy, communicate with the psyche’s symbolic language, and release wounds through nervous system regulation, intuitive insight, and self-compassion—key steps in the journey of narcissistic abuse recovery and healing trauma.

Listeners learn how toxic emotions such as shame, guilt, and rage wear down internal energy, and how loving emotions like joy, peace, and compassion can rebuild resilience. Dr. Meg and Dr. Supatra also explore breathwork, meditation, intuitive listening, visualization, and spiritual reconnecting—practices that help survivors rebuild identity, reclaim authenticity, and reconnect with their intuitive voice.
The conversation expands into the powerful intersection of nutrition and trauma recovery, exploring how inflammation, toxic food environments, hidden food sensitivities, and ultra-processed foods can worsen anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue, or emotional reactivity. They emphasize mindful eating, body awareness, and learning how food impacts mood and energy.
Dr. Meg concludes with guidance on how to join her Toxic Parent Recovery Summit, access her courses, and explore her extensive content on narcissistic abuse, holistic healing, and spiritual integration.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled with persistent symptoms, or sensed you were carrying emotions that “didn’t belong to you,” this episode offers a roadmap toward embodied healing, nervous system repair, and reclaiming self-trust.
