What happens when someone has done years of therapy, personal growth, and spiritual work — but still feels stuck?

In this episode of Healing Beyond the Symptoms, Dr. Leah Hahn DC., sits down with Dr. Scott Hahn DC, to share the powerful healing journeys of two former clients — Chris and Katie — who both struggled with chronic stress, trauma history, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation.

Both women had already been “doing the work.”
Both had insight.
Both were self-aware.

But something was still missing.

Through Network Spinal care, they began addressing the physical imprint of trauma stored in the spine and nervous system — the structural and neurological patterns that kept them locked in fight-or-flight.

Chris presented with:

• High anxiety and chronic stress
• A history of emotional and physical trauma
• Multiple head injuries and a reverse cervical curve
• Alcohol use as a stress coping mechanism

As her nervous system began to regulate, she:

• Reduced alcohol dependence
• Changed careers
• Deepened her relationships
• Discovered new passions
• Returned to school
• Developed greater emotional awareness and adaptability

Katie’s story was equally profound. With a history of severe trauma and family mental health challenges, she felt trapped in fear, anger, and self-doubt. Even with spiritual mentorship, progress would surge — then backslide.

Within weeks of beginning care, she experienced significant emotional releases and, about a month into care, reported feeling love for the first time in her life.

As her nervous system became more adaptable, she:

• Developed grounding skills
• Improved emotional regulation
• Reduced negative thought spirals
• Created community support for other women
• Shifted from survival to purpose

If you’ve ever felt like something is still missing in your healing journey, this episode offers hope — and a reminder:

You are not broken. You are patterned. And patterns can change.
