The Vagus Nerve, Trauma, and Your Health: A New Approach to Lasting Relief

Episode Description:

Ever feel like your body is betraying you? Strange aches, phantom sensations, and symptoms no doctor can explain? You’re not alone—and you’re not imagining things. In this episode, Laurel Hurst uncovers the missing link between emotional experiences and physical symptoms, revealing why traditional approaches often fall short.

You'll learn how your nervous system, particularly the vagus nerve, plays a powerful role in your wellbeing, and why emotional trauma can manifest as real, physical pain. If you've been told "nothing is wrong" but still feel off, this conversation will be a game-changer.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional trauma can get "stuck" in the nervous system, leading to chronic pain, dizziness, digestive issues, and other unexplained symptoms.
• The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in transmitting emotional distress into physical sensations.
• Many people suffering from these symptoms have been dismissed by traditional medicine, leaving them feeling unheard and hopeless.
• Somatic healing techniques, such as GROOVE THERAPY, EMDR, and movement-based practices, can help retune the nervous system and restore balance.
• You are not broken—your body is simply communicating in ways that some healthcare providers may not yet fully recognize.
