"You cannot have meaningful change and integration if you do not bring your nervous system with you." – Dr. Stacy Ellis

Dr. Stacy Ellis is a trauma-informed psychologist and group facilitator who bridges clinical rigor with deep, embodied transformation. With over fifteen years of clinical practice, a decade of ongoing group work, and training in modalities like EMDR, somatic therapies, TRE, IFS, breathwork and sound healing, she helps people reprogram childhood imprints in the nervous system so they can live as their authentic adult selves.

In her work, Stacy weaves science, insight and somatic practice to create spaces where inner child work, group healing and nervous system literacy come together. She has a particular gift for helping people understand why they are the way they are, and then offering real, embodied pathways toward wholeness.

In this episode, Stacy shares:

• How her own journey from people-pleasing and caretaking into wholeness led her from conventional therapy into inner child and group work
• The story of a four-day intensive that "updated" her nervous system and transformed her relationship with her mother
• What actually happens inside well-held group containers, and why collective mirroring and co-regulation can create change that one-on-one work alone often cannot
• How she designs inner child workshops to keep the nervous system online, weaving teaching, tools, play and ritual for real integration
• Her working definitions of psychological safety and trauma-informed facilitation, and why they are about empowerment and depth, not coddling
