Trauma doesn’t just live in memory—it lives in the body. Even when life feels stable, your nervous system may still brace for impact.

In this episode, Lou Lachman shares a compassionate, body-led approach to healing for anyone who has done the “mental work” yet still feels on edge. We explore why talking alone isn’t always enough, how unresolved trauma shows up in daily reactions, and how to gently rebuild inner safety. Listeners will walk away with simple, practical tools to begin calming the body without force.

About the Guest:

Lou Lachman is an energy practitioner and teacher who helps individuals settle trauma through alignment-based practices. Drawing from personal experience and years of study, she guides people toward nervous system regulation using body awareness and energy techniques.

12:20 – Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn explained
17:05 – How trauma shows up daily
21:40 – Heart-holding reassurance practice
