What the Body Carries: Adoption, Burnout, and Healing with Juliana Matye
Juliana Matye, a former social worker, adoptee, mother, and now a trauma-informed coach, shares her journey from a career in child protection and social services, through personal burnout and PTSD, to finding healing through somatic practices and coaching. Her story weaves together professional insight and lived experience, offering a grounded perspective on trauma, resilience, and the slow process of rebuilding purpose.
Listeners will hear about Juliana’s early life as an adoptee, her years on the frontlines of child welfare, the emotional toll of burnout, and how she came to embrace somatic work as both a personal practice and a vocation.
Key Takeaways
- Early adoption experiences can shape attachment patterns and emotional regulation well into adulthood.
- Frontline social work exposes workers to deep systemic trauma, often without sufficient institutional support.
- Burnout and PTSD may surface most strongly during personal life transitions, such as motherhood.
- Somatic practices offer a path to healing by addressing trauma stored in the body, not just through talk therapy.
- Self-regulation skills—breathwork, meditation, creativity—are essential for long-term resilience.
- Healing is not about erasing trauma but learning to sit with it and reframe it as part of one’s life purpose.
