You feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected, and traditional talk therapy hasn't fully helped? This episode of the Butterfly Event podcast reveals a powerful truth: your body holds trauma, not just your mind. Discover why unexplained chronic pain, fatigue, or anxiety might be your body's way of remembering past overwhelm, and how true healing begins by reconnecting with your physical self.

My name is Heather Hewett, a double board-certified naturopath, clinical nutritionist, and somatic trauma therapy certified practitioner, as she dives deep into the mind-body connection. Learn why trauma isn't just an event, but a physiological response stored in your nervous system, leading to issues like muscle tension, digestive problems, or panic attacks.

This video explores essential body-based tools for somatic healing and trauma release. I discuss compassionate, gentle ways to process and feel your way through trauma, including somatic awareness, grounding techniques like breathwork and vagal toning (EFT tapping!), and the power of co-regulation. You'll also learn about the critical link between gut health and the vagus nerve in healing, and the benefits of therapeutic movement like fascia stretching and shaking for releasing pent-up emotions.

If you've been told "it's all in your head" or struggled with symptoms doctors can't explain, understand that you're not broken, your body is simply wise and trying to protect you. This episode offers profound insights and practical steps to bridge the mind-body gap and embark on a path to authentic healing.

👉In this episode, you'll discover:
✅Why trauma is a state in your body, not just a memory
✅Common signs your body is holding onto trauma (chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety)
✅Effective body-based tools for releasing trauma, including somatic awareness and vagal toning
✅The crucial role of gut health and the vagus nerve in trauma healing
✅Why movement, like shaking and stretching, can be powerful for emotional release

Don't let your past experiences keep you stuck. Embrace the journey where mind meets body and true healing begins.
