Body Mapping: How Trauma Lives in the Body & Somatic Practices to Rebuild Safety

Did you know the tension in your jaw, the tightness in your chest, or the heaviness in your hips could be your body’s way of holding unprocessed trauma? In this episode, Britt explains the science and history of somatic psychology—how trauma lives in the body, not just the mind—and what that means for your healing. You’ll learn how different parts of the body carry protective patterns that once kept you safe, and how to begin releasing them through gentle body mapping and somatic touch. Britt guides you through a short, accessible practice you can return to anytime you need grounding or self-support. This conversation bridges science, compassion, and embodiment—helping you rebuild safety from the inside out. 💛 Save this episode to come back to whenever you need a moment of gentle connection with yourself.
