What happens when the body begins to unravel... not in theory, but in real time?

In this unfiltered moment from the Body Transformation Retreat, Chantelle Raven invites you into a deeply personal process. What began as physical pain became a gateway into grief, trauma, and the kind of somatic release most practitioners only read about.

You’ll hear what it looks like to stay present through discomfort, how collapse can become a sacred opening, and why healing isn’t always neat or graceful. It's messy, real, and often arrives through sensation not strategy.

This is a powerful teaching moment for anyone who holds space for others… or is learning how to hold space for themselves.

What’s inside:

 • When physical symptoms are portals, not problems

• Why rage is often a familiar cover for grief

• The healing power of letting yourself collapse

• How trauma releases when we stop managing it

• Why true safety in the body is the foundation of real transformation

• The somatic difference between retraumatizing and integrating

• The role of parents, pain, and returning what’s not ours

• The sacred gold found in what feels most uncomfortable

If you're a practitioner, coach, or facilitator or simply someone learning to stay with the uncomfortable, this episode will meet you at your edges.

Memorable quotes from this episode:

“It’s the layers underneath the reaction that hold the root cause.”

“The fear of re-traumatization comes from not understanding the power of integration.”

“Where you feel most uncomfortable — that’s where the gold is.”
