Description

What if the key to healing your body is trapped deep inside your nervous system?

You've probably heard that changing your mindset can change your health. While there's truth to that, it's missing something crucial. 

Dr. Katie sits down with Jakob Gričar, a trauma-informed coach and somatic expert, to explore why so many people spend years in therapy without real relief. He shares why  when you work with your nervous system and embrace the physical sensations you've been avoiding, you access healing that talk therapy alone misses.

Chapters:
00:06:00 – Why basic tools still dysregulate you
00:08:11 – When your trauma runs the show
00:09:55 – What somatic work actually is
00:12:21 – Let your pain tell you its story
00:17:26 – Fasting as a portal for emotional healing
00:20:32 – Fall in love with your condition
00:29:30 – Why you should not heal alone
00:33:09 – How to feel sensations instead of thoughts
00:41:00 – The cost of ignoring your inner truth
00:44:09 – Four pillars of real healing in the body

Jakob shares his own journey from chronic skin disease to complete healing, and reveals why being present with pain (rather than numbing it) might be your most powerful tool. 

Whether you're dealing with cancer, chronic illness, or just feeling stuck in patterns you can't break, this conversation will offer you a fresh perspective.
Dr. Katie and Jakob explore how everything from relationships to physical symptoms can trace back to nervous system dysregulation, and why creating calm in your body is the foundation for everything else.

You'll hear simple techniques to regulate your nervous system, understand when you need professional support and discover why authenticity isn't just a buzzword but a biological necessity. 

Listen and learn why denying what you know to be true about your life can literally make you sick, and what happens when you finally align with your authentic self.
