Tell Me More with Nicole Walters

About... Somatic Therapy for High Achievers (with Dr. Danielle Griffin)


Listen Later

If your nervous system has not seen peace since 2019, this one is for you!


Dr. Danielle Griffin is here to talk about what it really means to carry stress in your body and why so many of us have been living in survival mode for years.


As a thought leader in Somatic Exercise Therapy and a TEDx speaker dedicated to the science of the mind-body connection, Dr. Griffin helps high performers understand how chronic stress, pressure, and responsibility don’t just live in the mind… they show up physically as tension, burnout, insomnia, and even chronic illness.


We chat through the difference between somatic therapy and traditional talk therapy, why so many people struggle to even identify what they’re feeling, and how simple practices like breathwork, movement, and awareness can begin to release what your body has been holding onto.


This conversation explores what it looks like to slow down, tune in, and create space for healing… without losing your edge, ambition, or drive.


We’re chatting about:

  • The difference between somatic therapy and talk therapy
  • How stress and trauma get stored in the body
  • Why high achievers often live in chronic tension and burnout
  • The connection between physical symptoms and emotional overwhelm
  • How breathwork, movement, and meditation help regulate the nervous system
  • Simple ways to start releasing stress in your body today


If you constantly feel on edge, stuck in survival mode, or like your body can't relax… this chat will help you understand why and show you what to do next.
