Somatic therapy aims to treat PTSD and other mental and emotional health issues through the connection of mind and body. This body-centric approach works by helping to release stress, tension, and trauma from the body. In this episode, I sit down with Ailey Jolie to talk about how your body has been keeping score on you since the day you popped into this world.

In this episode, we talk about:

+ wtf is somatic therapy?

+ relationships

+ being aware of behavioral patterns in your life

+ “big t” vs. “Little t” trauma

+ stored emotions & experiences in your body

+ and more!
