Reclaiming Your Body: Healing Trauma Beyond the Mind
Episode Overview
Healing trauma requires more than just intellectual understanding. Somatic techniques like movement and breathwork can release stored tension. The body holds onto past traumas, affecting current behaviour. Freedom involves moving through life without being weighed down by the past. Body-based healing can help reclaim spontaneity, love, and ease.
Freedom is not just the ability to choose our path. It's the ability to move through life without being weighed down by the past
In this episode of The Unashamedly Human Podcast, Jacquie Forde dives deep into the hidden traumas that reside within our bodies. Jacquie, a seasoned coach and mentor, shares poignant stories of her clients, like Sophie, Lisa, and James, who have struggled with the physical manifestations of their past traumas. These individuals found themselves trapped in a cycle of fear and tension, unable to fully embrace life despite understanding their traumas intellectually.
Through somatic healing techniques such as movement, breathwork, and nervous system regulation, Jacquie guides them towards reclaiming their spontaneity, freedom, and capacity for love. The episode highlights the profound impact of body-based healing, showing that true recovery involves more than just talking about past experiences. Jacquie's warm Scottish tones and compassionate approach offer hope and practical advice for anyone feeling stuck in their journey towards healing.
By the end of the episode, you'll understand that freedom from trauma is possible when the body learns to trust the present moment again. So, if you're ready to move from survival mode to true embodied freedom, this episode is a must-listen.
