The word trauma is everywhere these days, but how do you know if you’re actually dealing with trauma—or just going through a rough patch? Kelly sits down with Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner Brittany Piper to break it all down, including why traditional talk therapy often isn’t enough to fully heal.
Brittany explains how trauma is stored in the body, not just the brain, and why talking about it can only take you so far. In her new book, Body-First Healing: A Revolutionary Guide to Nervous System Recovery, she shares science-backed somatic practices—that help release stored trauma and reset the nervous system.
They also dive into big questions: Do we all have trauma, or has the term become overused? Have we become an emotionally weak society, or are we just finally paying attention? And in a world that constantly keeps us in chronic stress, what can we actually do to bring our nervous systems back to balance?
