38. Your Emotions Are Telling You Someth...

Embodied Self Therapy
About this episode

In this episode, we'll dive into how emotions work as an internal navigation system — and how trauma can disrupt those signals, leaving us feeling confused about our emotions or unable to trust ourselves. I’ll be sharing practical ways to safely reconnect with your emotions and also talk about the role of the nervous system, common trauma responses like dissociation, and why building somatic awareness is such an important part of this process. Join me in this chat to explore how emotions can be powerful messengers and essential tools in healing from trauma.
