When the Body Keeps the Score… in Real Time with guest Dr. Lyons

What if healing isn't just about changing your thoughts—but also about understanding what your body has been carrying all along?In this episode of *All Things Good*, I sit down with Dr. Varleisha D. Lyons, occupational therapist, applied neurosociology specialist, and founder of Wasut Sanctuary & Education, to explore the powerful connection between trauma, self-regulation, community, and healing.Together, we discuss how trauma can live in the body long after an experience has passed, why so many people struggle to feel safe within themselves, and how neuroscience, mindfulness, culture, and spirituality can work together to support lasting transformation. We also dive into the importance of belonging, the role of community in healing, and practical ways to begin reconnecting with yourself when life feels overwhelming.If you've ever wondered why awareness alone isn't enough to create change, this conversation offers a deeper understanding of what healing can truly look and feel like.### 🔑 Topics Covered* Trauma and the nervous system* Self-regulation and emotional well-being* The connection between mind, body, and healing* Community, belonging, and resilience* Neuroscience and spirituality* Practical tools for creating safety within yourselfHealing isn't just about what happened to us—it's about learning how to reconnect with ourselves, our bodies, and each other.This episode invites you to explore that journey.Connect with Dr. LyonsWebsite www.DrVarleisha.comBooks www.DrVarleisha.com
