In this interview with Anni Johnston, we explore how somatic practices, from simple breathing techniques to dance therapy, can be powerful pathways to heal attachment wounds. Anni is a trauma and somatic therapist turned resilience mentor, we brought her on to discuss why healing doesn’t just happen in the mind—it requires getting into the body.

Anni shares approachable take-home tips and a guided practice in how reconnecting to our physical selves in the present moment can restore safety, trust, and build peace, a critical piece of healing early attachment ruptures.
