Have you ever found yourself thinking:

“I’ve done so much work on myself…
 So why do I still feel stuck sometimes?”

You’ve been to therapy.
 You’ve read the books.
 You understand your patterns.
 You’ve grown.

And yet…

There can still be moments where something inside you feels slightly braced and on edge. Like you’re doing well in life… but not fully relaxed inside it.

In this deeply honest episode, Dr Nat Green explores one of the least talked about stages of trauma healing:

👉 When your life is safe…
 👉 But your body is still catching up.

This episode explains — in simple, real language — why you can understand your healing journey mentally, but still feel tension, hesitation, or fear in your body.

And most importantly:

Why this is not failure.
Why this is not you being broken.
Why this is actually incredibly normal after trauma and chronic stress.

🌿 What You’ll Learn In This Episode

• Why you can feel stuck even after years of therapy or personal development
 • The difference between understanding your trauma and your body feeling safe
 • Why your nervous system can still react to old danger — even when life is different now
 • How early survival patterns can show up as perfectionism, overworking, hyper-independence or overthinking
 • Why body-based healing approaches (like TRE — Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) can help release stored stress patterns
 • What real “moving forward” often feels like (and why it’s usually quiet, not dramatic)

💛 Who This Episode Is For

This episode is especially for you if you:

✔ Have done therapy or deep personal development work
 ✔ Consider yourself self-aware and reflective
 ✔ Are high-functioning but still feel tension or “brace” in your life
 ✔ Feel confused about why growth doesn’t always feel easier
 ✔ Want trauma healing explained in real, relatable language
 ✔ Are curious about nervous system healing and body-based approaches
 ✔ Are ready for healing that feels safe, not forced

🌱 About Body-Based Healing & TRE

This episode also introduces the idea that trauma and stress aren’t just stored in thoughts — they can be stored in the body.

Dr Nat gently explains how approaches like TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) help the body release long-held stress and survival tension safely and naturally.

No forcing.
 No rehashing your story.
 Just allowing the body to let go of what it no longer needs to hold.
