Nervous System Reset: Healing Trauma, Anxiety & Physical Symptoms Using Somatic Therapy, with Therapist Simone Saunders | Rerelease
Description
The body keeps the score, and after years of cognitive therapy work and intellectualizing, I became totally disconnected from how my body was carrying stress and anxiety.
So for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're throwing it back to this deep dive with trauma therapist Simone Saunders on the powerful connection between mind and body healing. We cover how unprocessed trauma physically manifests and evidence-based somatic therapy techniques to release it.
Anxiety, depression, and trauma don't just affect your thoughts — they live in your body. From chronic pain and digestive issues to poor sleep and muscle tension, your physical symptoms might tell a deeper story. If you want to take control of your mental health and expand your techniques and awareness, this episode is a must-listen.
Simone has a Master's in Clinical Social Work, with a specialization in trauma, emotional regulation, anxiety and depression. As a trauma therapist and educator she has over 800,000 followers across her Instagram and TikTok accounts, the cognitive corner, where she helps people understand the connection between the mind and body and patterns that your nervous system engages in.
