Have you ever felt like a past trauma is literally trapped in your body? Like no matter how much you talk about it, the tension, anxiety, or hypervigilance is still there in your nervous system?
I know that feeling so well. When I first remembered my own childhood trauma, I felt completely disembodied. That’s when I discovered the work of renowned trauma specialist, Dr. Peter Levine, and his Somatic Experiencing® method—it changed my life forever.
In this episode, I finally sit down with him to talk about how to release the trauma that gets trapped in our bodies. In a deeply personal and raw conversation, he shares his own untold story of trauma for the first time, and we go deep into the spiritual nature of healing. I even received a live mini-session from him right here on the show! This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone who has ever felt stuck in the past. It’s a powerful reminder that healing is possible and that freedom is your birthright.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The powerful, untold story behind Dr. Levine’s new book, An Autobiography of Trauma.
- Why trauma is held in the body, and how we can gently release it without re-living it.
- A live, on-air mini-session where Peter guides me through a Somatic Experiencing practice for jaw tension (you have to hear what came up!).
- The crucial role of dreams, spirit guides, and spiritual connection in trauma recovery.
- The pitfalls and promises of using psychedelics on a healing journey.
- The key to accessing your innate power to heal and finally feel free.
