When the Body Holds the Story: Understanding Somatic Stress & Safety

Stress and trauma don’t just live in our thoughts, they live in our bodies. In this episode, we explore how the nervous system stores survival responses like fight, flight, or freeze, and why tension, tightness, and overwhelm can linger long after an event has passed. Drawing from current research and somatic therapy approaches, we unpack what it means to build a felt sense of safety in the body and how gentle awareness, movement, and breath can support healing from the inside out.
