Have you ever felt like you’ve done all the “right” things in therapy—talked through the trauma, read the books, said the affirmations—but something still doesn’t feel fully healed?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with the amazing Ayanna Freedom, LICSW, to talk all about somatic healing—a body-based approach to therapy that’s changing lives.

We break down: what somatic healing really is, who can benefit from it, and why it’s often the missing piece in traditional talk therapy

Ayanna explains how our bodies store trauma, stress, and emotions—especially when we haven’t had the safety or space to process them. And here’s the truth: You can’t think your way out of something your body still feels. That’s where somatic work comes in.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, postpartum overwhelm, old trauma, or just a general feeling of disconnection from yourself, this episode is for YOU.

You are not broken. Your body is wise. And with support, you can begin to feel safe, whole, and at home in yourself again.
