Healing Doesn’t Have to Be Hard: The Power of Somatics, Trauma Work, & Finding Aliveness with Will Rezin

This episode is an absolute heart-opener! I have the honor to sit down with Will Rezin—a trauma and somatics expert, teacher, and guide—to explore how true healing is not about suffering—it’s about feeling.

We dive into the nuances of trauma, somatics, attachment styles, plant medicine, and what it really means to live a life full of aliveness.

"We don’t ‘release’ trauma—we reclaim the energy that was used to hold it. Healing is about regaining access to your full aliveness." – Will Rezin

Will is the founder of Trauma & Somatics, where he has trained over 400+ practitioners in 26+ countries in trauma-informed somatic work. With a background in attachment theory, stress physiology, and somatic healing, Will helps individuals and professionals cultivate a deeper understanding of the body’s innate healing capacity. He works with high-performing individuals through deep transformational work, as well as practitioners looking to bring more nervous system-informed approaches to their work.

You’ll hear about:

✨ Why healing doesn’t have to be hard and how small steps create lasting change

✨ The role of somatics in integrating stored trauma and reconnecting to our bodies

✨ How past wounds shape our attachment styles—and how we can evolve into earned secure attachment

✨ The power of plant medicine and how it opens doors to deep emotional integration

✨ Why emotions like shame, anger, & joy all serve an equitable purpose—when we allow ourselves to feel them

✨ How the nervous system holds onto trauma—and how to gently rewire it for peace and safety 

This conversation is for anyone who’s on the path of personal healing & ready to move beyond outdated models of suffering into a new paradigm of soft, sustainable, & deeply embodied healing.
