Heather McKean uncovers the hidden emotional drivers behind vertigo, linking it to childhood trauma, denial, anxiety, and unresolved relational wounds. From growing up in chaotic homes to feeling trapped in adulthood, vertigo can be a signal that something is deeply off balance within. Learn why the symptom might be trying to help you—not hurt you—and how recognizing the message could be the first step toward healing. Don’t miss this journey into the mind-body connection—and discover what your body might be trying to tell you.
