Episode #118 - Trauma, Fascia, and My First Myofascial Release

In this episode of the Cultivate Calmness Podcast, I share my first personal experience with myofascial release massage and explore the powerful connection between fascia, trauma, and emotional healing. As a holistic, trauma-informed therapist, I discuss how physical and emotional traumas can be stored in the body, how fascia functions as connective tissue that holds these experiences, and why body-based work can complement trauma therapies like EMDR. I reflect on the physical sensations, emotional release, and unexpected insights that emerged during and after the session, while also offering important considerations for anyone curious about myofascial work—especially those already engaged in trauma therapy. This episode invites listeners to consider what the body may still be holding and how intentional, integrated healing can support both mind and body.
