The Body Keeps The Score

You might forget what happened. You might minimize it, bury it, or try to move on.But your body remembers.In this episode, we explore the powerful truth behind the phrase “The Body Keeps the Score,” inspired by the groundbreaking work of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.We’ll talk about how trauma isn’t just a mental or emotional experience—it’s a physical one.Stored in your muscles. Your breath. Your posture. Your nervous system.Whether you’ve experienced trauma, chronic stress, or emotional neglect, your body has likely been holding onto the weight—even if your mind doesn’t always recognize it.This is a conversation about what your body might be trying to tell you…and how listening to it is the first step toward healing.Key themes we’ll explore:How trauma is stored in the bodyWhy talk therapy isn’t always enoughSomatic symptoms: fatigue, tension, hypervigilance, and dissociationHow practices like movement, breathwork, EMDR, and somatic therapy can helpLearning to feel safe in your body againThis is not about reliving trauma.It’s about releasing what was never meant to stay stuck.Your body is not your enemy.It’s your messenger.And maybe… your healer, too.Would you like a full podcast script for this episode?
