Listening to Your Body

Your body has been holding the truth all along—through chronic pain, gut instincts, and nervous system activation that won't settle. Learn why listening to your body is essential for healing from betrayal trauma, even when you're still waiting for full disclosure or struggling with hypervigilance. 

Discover how to find closure without confession, reconnect with your body's wisdom, and move from seeking external proof to reclaiming your internal knowing.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How trauma shows up as chronic illness and what your body is trying to tell you

• Why healing from betrayal doesn't depend on your partner's honesty

• 5 somatic practices to rebuild trust with yourself and calm your nervous system
