Episode 2: When Your Body Keeps the Score

Where Is Your Heart Today? – Conversations with Rosie MoteneEpisode 2: When Your Body Keeps the ScoreYou left the toxic environment.You're finally safe.So why does your body still behave as though the danger remains?In this deeply personal episode, I explore what happens after we leave spaces that have harmed us. Drawing on my own healing journey and reflections inspired by The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, I  unpack how prolonged stress and chronic dysregulation can continue to live in the body long after we've physically walked away.Together, we'll explore the connection between chronic inflammation, fatigue, digestive issues, disrupted sleep, perimenopause, and the nervous system, while recognising that our bodies are not betraying us, they are protecting us.I  also share the daily practices that have supported my healing, including body scans, somatic grounding, breathwork, walking, and learning to rest without guilt.If you've ever wondered why you're still carrying the weight of an experience you've already left behind, this conversation is for you.Because healing isn't about forgetting.It's about teaching your body that today is different from yesterday.
