Healing Childhood Wounds: Lindsay Gilman's Journey to Recovery

So I think that shifting our focus to the body and somatic techniques is really the key to being free from your trauma.
Imagine growing up with a mother whose mental illness casts a shadow over your childhood. That's the reality Lindsay Gilman faced, and in this heartfelt episode, she shares her incredible journey from trauma to healing. Lindsay, a trauma therapist and holistic health practitioner, opens up about her struggles with chronic illness, from severe fatigue to devastating hair loss, and how these physical symptoms were tied to her emotional wounds.
Her story is one of resilience and transformation, offering hope to anyone grappling with similar challenges. Lindsay recounts her early years, witnessing her mother's suicide attempts and internalizing the belief that she was the cause of others' unhappiness. This belief followed her into adulthood, manifesting in unexplained chronic illnesses that left her feeling drained and disconnected. It wasn't until she discovered the power of somatic techniques that she began to reclaim her health and life.
In her conversation with host Anna Maydonova, Lindsay emphasizes the importance of making conscious choices in the healing process. She explains how shifting focus to the body and embracing somatic practices allowed her to break free from the grip of her trauma. Lindsay's journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, even when it feels out of reach. Listeners will find inspiration in Lindsay's story of reclaiming her health, relationships, and power.
Her experiences highlight the significance of finding purpose in pain and serving others as part of the healing journey. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone looking to take control of their own recovery and transform their trauma into a source of strength.
