Somatics Explained: How Chronic Tension Keeps You in Pain (And What to Do Instead)

If your shoulders live in your ears… If your low back is constantly tight… If you feel like your body is shrinking forward as you age… It’s not just stress. It’s not just aging. And it’s not because you’re doing something wrong. In this episode, I sit down with somatic educator Kristen Jackson to unpack why your nervous system may be holding onto tension patterns you didn’t even realize you had — and how learning to release instead of force can change everything. We cover: • What somatics actually is (in plain English) • Why your posture keeps coming back • Why “more rows” isn’t always the answer • How tension becomes habitual • What it really means to reset your body If you’re tired of trying to fix yourself — this episode is your permission slip to try something different.
