307: Healing Trauma with Somatic Therapy

The Best of How To Live a Fantastic Life

Originally Published May 06,2022. In this episode of "How to Live a Fantastic Life," Dr. Allen Lycka chats with Eileen Smith, a somatic experience practitioner, about overcoming trauma. Eileen explains that trauma isn’t just an event but the trapped energy in our bodies when we lose our sense of safety. She emphasizes that healing involves reconnecting with physical sensations to release this energy.

Eileen discusses how trauma can manifest as anxiety, digestive issues, and disconnection. Through somatic therapy, she helps clients gradually move out of survival mode, advocating for a slow, intentional healing process. The episode also touches on the importance of self-care, embracing discomfort, and making conscious choices to enhance life.

Ilene Smith helps people who feel stuck in life, often due to unresolved or hidden trauma. This can show up as issues like addiction, abuse, grief, divorce, or eating disorders. With the challenges of the past two years, many might be struggling more than ever.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Ilene guides others in recognizing and releasing the energy from unresolved trauma, helping them move forward in all areas of life. Curious to learn more? Ilene is eager to share practical tips with your listeners!
