113. Healing the Root: Somatic Practices for Emotional Release with Karena Neukirchner
from Deep Within with Marina Triner, The Compassionate Somatic Coach · host Marina Triner
In this deeply nourishing episode, I’m joined by somatic healing coach and podcast host Karena Neukirchner for a grounded, honest conversation about what it actually means to process emotions in the body — and why it’s often the missing link in our healing.Karena shares how unresolved trauma lives in the nervous system, how we internalize early life experiences in our tissues, and what it looks like to feel to heal without spiraling or bypassing.We explore how anxiety, shutdown, overthinking, and people-pleasing often stem from emotional suppression — and how somatic emotional processing can guide us back to safety, self-trust, and internal freedom. Karena offers powerful insight into how she works with the body as a map, a mirror, and a messenger.If you’re exhausted from “understanding” your patterns but still feeling stuck, this conversation is a powerful reminder: the healing you’re craving may not be found in your mind — but in your body.Connect with Karena:https://helloinnerlight.com/My free Feel It To Heal It Mini-Course: https://helloinnerlight.com/mini-courseSomatic Healing Hub: https://helloinnerlight.com/somatic-healing-hub❥Join HeartSpace monthly community with a free trial: https://marinayt.com/community❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rootedFollow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/marina.y.t Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“If we want to move forward in life, we have to make space for what’s still unresolved in the body.”“Your body is not broken — it’s trying to protect you.”“You don’t need more mindset work.
