The Body Keeps Score: Acupuncture, Forgiveness and Healing Emotional & Physical Trauma

Trauma – whether emotional, physical or psychological – we’ve all experienced it at some points of our lives – some more traumatic than others. And whether it's left you struggling with upset emotions and memories, or feeling numb and disconnected – we can heal from it.   

In this week’s episode, we explore acupuncture as a modality for healing from emotional and physical trauma with Carine Camara – Acupuncturist, Energy Healer and Spiritual Wellness Coach.  During our conversation Carine shares her personal experiences of trauma and the ways it manifested in her body, including ovarian cysts, and how the use of acupuncture as an alternative to surgery created a pathway of healing and becoming a healer.

In this episode we discuss:

• What acupuncture is and how it works
• How emotions and trauma get lodged in the body and can affect our physical health
• Forgiveness as a source of overcoming emotional and physical trauma 
• What it’s like working with an energy healer 
• Ways to work on emotional trauma that is stored in the pelvic region
• Unravelling and undoing stories that no longer serve us in order to learn how to love ourselves
• What it feels like to heal and be able to let go of emotional pain 
• Using the Hawaiian Ho'oponopono prayer to facilitate forgiveness
• What’s in Carine’s wellness toolkit
• …and more!
