Trauma is not stored in your brain. It's stored in your body.

In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Amanda Huffman, LCSW, SEP. on a whole body healing approach to mental health and trauma release.

Amanda is a Somatic Psychotherapist and Integrative Nutrition Specialist with over 20 years of experience. Her passion is to journey with others as they heal from trauma and complex PTSD. She also owns a 13-acre organic farm that will soon be a trauma healing retreat center.   

In this episode you'll learn:

• What is Somatic Psychotherapy (and how it differs from conventional psychotherapy) for trauma healing and mental health
• Why conventional therapy might be keeping you stuck in your trauma for years
• "But I don't have trauma?! I haven't experienced anything that traumatic..." (This might surprise you... you have.)
• How to know if trauma or past emotional experiences are contributing to your physical health concerns
• The role of the nervous system in emotional release/trauma healing (and how we can learn to regulate it!)
• The missing link to healing trauma (it's not learning how to calm your nervous system...)
• What exactly is the vagus nerve and what practical tools to support it for optimal physical and emotional wellness?
• Your mental health starts in your gut! The gut microbiome, neurotransmitter, and mental health connection
