In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, host Karen McMahon speaks with somatic healer and coach Lori James about the powerful role of somatic healing in recovering from the trauma of divorce. They explore how emotional pain from divorce and toxic relationships often becomes stored in the body, manifesting as anxiety, depression, and physical tension.

Lori shares her own post-divorce healing journey and explains how somatic practices — such as breathwork, movement, and body awareness — can help individuals reconnect with their inner wisdom, process deep emotional wounds, and rebuild a sense of safety and empowerment.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking divorce recovery tools, emotional resilience, and a deeper understanding of how the body holds and heals trauma. Discover practical strategies to support your emotional healing after divorce and begin moving forward with clarity and strength.
