Q&A: Healing Shame, Managing Food Noise, & What to Know Before Psychedelic Therapy
In this somatic healing Q&A, Britt begins by naming a feeling so many of us carry quietly: the fear of being fully seen and the way shame can shape our posture, our breath, and the space we allow ourselves to take up. She explores how loud food thoughts often come from a nervous system that learned to manage overwhelm through control, and how listening to the body becomes possible again when we approach sensation in tiny, supportive steps. Britt also shares guidance around choosing somatic-based bodywork for back pain and offers thoughtful, grounded insight on how to prepare your system for psychedelic assisted therapy so that the experience feels held rather than overwhelming. This episode is a reminder that your patterns make sense, your body is not the enemy, and you have the capacity to move toward deeper safety and self-trust one small step at a time.
