In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we sit down with social psychologist Jamie Hughes to explore how trauma doesn’t just live in our memories—it lives in our bodies. Together, we unpack the science behind how traumatic experiences can physically manifest through chronic stress, pain, illness, and emotional regulation, often long after the original event has passed.
Jamie helps us understand the mind-body connection, why our nervous system holds onto trauma, and what that means for healing, resilience, and recovery. Whether you’re a survivor, a caregiver, or someone looking to better understand the lasting effects of trauma, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and hope for reclaiming your body and your sense of safety.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking deeper awareness of how trauma shapes us—and how healing is possible.
