134. Disconfirming Experiences: Healing Emotional Expression Through Somatic Safety

February 24
20 mins

Episode Description

In this heartfelt episode, I open up about two painful breakups and the unexpected healing that came from allowing myself to be witnessed in my most vulnerable moments. I explore the idea of disconfirming experiences — moments where the body learns safety in ways it never has before — and why they are so essential for healing childhood wounds, especially when it comes to emotions, expression, and receiving care.

Through personal stories and client examples, I unpack how our nervous systems hold onto the past, how somatic work can gently begin to shift those deep patterns, and why going slow, honoring resistance, and cultivating safe relationships is the key to emotional freedom.

If you've ever wanted to cry but felt like you couldn’t, or longed to be seen but feared it was too much — this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.
