Listen "Ep 26: The Link Between Illness, Suppressed Emotions, and Trauma with Liz McComish (Part 1)"
Episode Synopsis
In today's episode, I sat down with Liz a somatic therapist, counsellor, and trauma specialist for a deeply embodied and eye-opening conversation about the way our bodies hold trauma, emotion, and truth.
We explore what somatic healing really is, how our nervous system stores past experiences, and why true healing happens when we come back into the body. Liz shares her personal story of surviving institutional abuse and addiction, and how learning to listen to her body completely changed the way she lived, parented, and connected with others.
Together, we unpack how suppressed emotions can manifest as illness, why so many of us are addicted to distraction, and how to create safety within ourselves when the world feels chaotic. We dive into what it means to parent consciously, build emotional awareness in our children, and begin breaking the generational patterns that keep us in survival mode.
This conversation reminded me that healing doesn’t always start in the mind it starts in the body. It’s about coming home to ourselves, feeling what we’ve avoided, and allowing the body to finally exhale.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, anxious, or stuck in old cycles, this episode will help you see that your body isn’t broken it’s speaking. And when you learn to listen, that’s where true healing begins.
