Show Notes
Episode 33 explores somatic exile — how disconnection from culture, community, and collective care is stored in the body — and what it takes to return.
Drawing from Brainspotting, somatic psychology, ancestral wisdom, and present-day realities impacting marginalized communities, Tracy Gantlin-Monroy, LPC reframes belonging as a nervous-system experience rather than a social identity. This episode honors historical and contemporary sources of disconnection while inviting listeners across cultures to consider how privatized survival has shaped us all.
Healing, Tracy suggests, is not about forcing closeness — but about creating safety for homecoming.
