Episode Details

In this insightful episode, David and Natasha talk with somatic experiencing practitioner Kim Hamilton about how trauma lives in the body—and how we can heal it. Kim shares her personal journey, explains how somatic experiencing (SE) works, and offers practical tools for nervous system regulation and emotional recovery.

💡 Key Takeaways:

- Trauma is stored in the nervous system, not just the mind

- SE contrasts with traditional therapy by working bottom-up (body first)

- Even “small” traumas can have lasting physical and emotional effects

- Creating safety and choice is essential in trauma healing

- Movement (like shaking or dancing) helps release stored tension

- Healthy anger is a necessary emotional signal, not a threat

- True healing often leads to life transformation and better boundaries
