In this episode of NeuroAlchemy, Dr. Sarah Young sits down with trauma-informed movement educator Tami Lysher for a deeply grounding conversation about trauma, the nervous system, healing through movement and breath, and how we can support both children and adults in reconnecting with their bodies.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally reactive, or unsure how to help yourself or your children regulate, this episode offers gentle wisdom and practical tools.

Together, Sarah and Tami explore what trauma-informed movement truly means, how the nervous system responds to stress and safety, and why healing does not require fixing yourself, but rather learning how to be present with what your body is already communicating.

Tami shares her personal healing journey through trauma and breast cancer, along with the inspiration behind her framework, Move Into Calm. Designed for children, families, and caregivers, Move Into Calm offers simple, adaptable practices that meet people where they are, helping them reconnect with breath, movement, and emotional awareness.

This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone navigating:

• trauma or chronic stress
• nervous system dysregulation
• parenting sensitive or overwhelmed children
• caregiving or burnout
• emotional overwhelm
• recovery or personal growth
• a desire to feel safer inside their body

You’ll hear about:

• what trauma-informed movement really looks like in daily life
• how breath and movement work together to support regulation
• why children often communicate through their bodies instead of words
• how understanding your own trauma helps you support others
• the body’s innate capacity to heal
• how consistency builds resilience and hope
• what it means to welcome yourself home to your body

At its heart, this episode reminds us:

Clarity creates safety.
Safety opens healing.
Your body holds wisdom.
And regulation begins with presence.

Sound bites from the episode:

“She doesn’t just teach regulation, she lives it.”
“With consistency, there’s hope.”
“Welcome yourself home to your body.”
