Somatic Healing Misconceptions, Tips to Get Started & Signs You’re Healing
What is somatic healing, really? In this episode, Britt cuts through the noise to bring clarity on what this work is and what it isn’t. From the misconception that somatic healing is about “feeling good” to the myth that discomfort means you’re doing it wrong, she breaks down the truths that often get lost in the mainstream. Through honest stories from her own journey and practical starting points, Britt shows how real healing is less about fixing yourself and more about expanding your capacity to be with all of life, both the light and the heavy. Tune in for tools to get started in your somatic healing journey and signs you’re starting to make progress!
You'll learn:
- How to tell the difference between productive discomfort and retraumatization
- Why “doing the work” might sometimes feel messy or even frustrating
- The role of curiosity and gentleness in sustaining long-term healing
- How to notice subtle signs of progress that aren’t always obvious at first
- Who somatic healing is really for (hint: not just trauma survivors)
