What if your body has been telling the truth all along?In this episode, Ailey sits down with Dr. Stephanie Minchin, clinical psychologist and yoga therapist, to explore what becomes possible when psychology and yoga are brought together as one integrated approach to healing. Together, they examine why insight alone is not always enough, and how the body often holds the missing piece.Stephanie shares how yoga therapy supports people in rebuilding a relationship with themselves through curiosity, nervous system awareness, and gentle embodiment. The conversation explores why healing cannot be rushed, how trauma can reveal itself without words, and what it means to create enough safety for lasting change to unfold.Ailey and Stephanie also discuss the role of Internal Family Systems, offering simple ways to connect with different parts of ourselves through breath, touch, and felt experience rather than relying on the thinking mind alone.If you have ever felt like you understand your patterns but still struggle to feel different, this conversation offers a compassionate and embodied path forward.In this episode:4:43 Why Yoga And Psychology Belong Together11:13 What A Yoga Therapy Session Looks Like18:13 When Talk Therapy Hits A Wall31:13 Big T Trauma Versus Attachment Wounds41:43 Bringing Internal Family Systems Onto The Mat49:13 Breathwork And Interoception PracticesLearn more about Ailey Jolie:Find: WebsiteFollow: InstagramExplore: SubstackExperience: Insight TimerSign up: InBodyMethodEmail: [email protected] follow along with the In This Body podcast:Follow: InstagramFind: WebsiteEmail: [email protected]
