#62. When movement doesn’t feel safe: trauma and the hidden impact on exercise with Dr Susanna Petche
from Make Movement Matter with Wendy Welpton · host Wendy Welpton
Why can movement feel so hard for some of us - even when we want to do it?This week on the Make Movement Matter podcast, Dr. Susanna Petche joins me to explore how trauma can disconnect us from our bodies, dampen intuition, and make exercise feel unsafe. Susanna shares her powerful story of breaking down as a high-functioning GP, being diagnosed with complex PTSD, and how she’s learning to reclaim movement in a safe, empowering way.Together, we discuss the links between dissociation, hypervigilance, and healing, and why joy, curiosity and safety matter far more than discipline or willpower.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:The Make Movement Matter PodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.
