Learn why early survival patterns repeat in love, and how to reconnect with your true self through somatic awareness.
In this episode, Shelley Treacher explains how early survival patterns can quietly take over in relationships.
Through the story of a woman who learned to find her voice after years of self-silencing, Shelley explores how somatic therapy helps us reconnect with our bodies, recognise old defences, and rebuild authentic connection. 

You’ll learn: 

• Why conflict triggers old fear responses
• How shrinking to keep the peace starts as protection, not weakness
• What happens when one person changes their energy in a relationship
• How to stay connected to yourself - even when love feels shaky

This is the heart of relationship therapy - finding steadiness inside, while staying open to connection.
