Frisson: Chills, Trauma, and the Language of Memory

from Unspoken · host Kate

In this haunting and lyrical piece, Kate explores the concept of frisson—those chills that once meant beauty, awe, and music—and how trauma can transform them into signals of fear, memory, and survival. Through vivid imagery and somatic truth, Frisson traces the blurred lines between emotional flashbacks and body memory, between what once felt sacred and what now feels sharp. This episode speaks to anyone living with the echoes of trauma stored in the nervous system, and offers a gentle invitation to listen to the body’s language with compassion.Copyright ©2025 Kate Earley Music: All is Found composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez.Written: April 14, 2025
