If you’ve ever felt like your body is trying to tell you something… this episode is for you.

This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about what trauma really does to your emotional and physical health — and why healing starts the moment you stop hiding.

I’m your host, Teresa Schindlbeck, and today I sit down with Holly — a physician associate with over 20 years of experience — for her second appearance on the show. Together, we unpack what most people miss about trauma: it’s not just emotional. It’s physical. It’s chemical. It’s in your gut. And until you face it — your body will keep the score.

This episode explores:

• What happens when trauma goes unspoken
• How emotional pain manifests in your body
• The truth about gut health and the nervous system
• How to find that one safe person to start your healing
• The connection between self-love and recovery
• Why it’s never too late to take your power back

This isn’t about reliving the past. It’s about rescuing yourself.
