Somatic Healing 101: Get Unstuck Without Reliving Your Trauma

Jun 10

Feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected?

It’s not because you’re broken—it’s your nervous system trying to protect you.

In this validating episode of High Vibin’ It, Kelsey and Lindsay chat with trauma practitioner and somatic coach Mari Leigh about what trauma really is (hint: it’s not just the event, but your body’s response), and how true healing doesn’t require you to relive or even fully remember the pain.

Mari unpacks how unresolved trauma (big or small) can quietly shape your sense of safety, self-worth, and even your ability to manifest. They explore how trauma shows up through things like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic overthinking—and why common healing methods don’t work for everyone.
