Ever wondered how your body holds onto trauma, even when your mind can’t explain it?
In this episode, I’m joined by Jayden Aubryn, a black queer, non-binary psychotherapist and personal trainer, who specializes in somatic trauma release. Jayden explains how trauma gets trapped in our bodies as stored energy and how somatic practices like dance, yoga, and even weightlifting can release it. We discuss the connection between mental and physical health, exploring the nervous system, trauma-informed movement, and how daily activities can help process deep-seated emotional pain. Whether you're new to the idea of somatic healing or a seasoned wellness seeker, Jayden shares practical tips to make healing accessible and even fun.
