Beneath the Mind: Rewriting Trauma Through the Body
from Look in Through the Glass · host Look in Through the Glass
This episode is an exploration of what it truly means to heal—not just intellectually, but at the level of the body, the nervous system, and the unconscious patterns that shape our lives.In this conversation, Leslie Drafton, a trauma-informed somatic practitioner and psychedelic guide, invites us to reconsider trauma as something that isn’t simply “in the past,” but something that lives on in the body. Through a somatic lens, healing becomes less about analyzing our stories and more about learning how to listen—to sensation, to the nervous system, and to the subtle ways our bodies hold and communicate unresolved experiences. It’s about creating enough safety within ourselves to finally process what once felt overwhelming.We also explore the emerging and often misunderstood role of psychedelics as tools for healing. When approached with intention, care, and integration, these experiences can open doors to deeper self-awareness, emotional release, and expanded perspective. Rather than being a quick fix, they are framed as amplifiers—revealing what’s beneath the surface and offering an opportunity to meet it with presence and compassion.At a deeper level, this episode examines how much of who we are is shaped by inherited patterns—family dynamics, cultural conditioning, and even ancestral imprints that quietly influence our beliefs, behaviors, and sense of self. Healing, then, becomes an act of both personal and collective transformation: a process of recognizing these patterns, gently unwinding them, and choosing a different way forward.Ultimately, this conversation is about coming back into relationship with yourself—your body, your emotions, and your inner world. It’s about reclaiming agency, cultivating resilience, and discovering that transformation doesn’t come from escaping our pain, but from learning how to be with it in a new way.Leslie Draffin | FacebookLeslie | Nervous System Healing (@lesliedraffin) • Instagram photos and videosLeslie | Nervous System Guide (@thewombmystic) | TikTokHome | Leslie Draffin Women's Somatic Coach & Psychedelic Microdosing Guide offering Breathwork & Meditation Online & in Central Texas
