Ever been told your labs look fine while your body is screaming for help? We sit down with Jenna Stewart—a former pro dancer turned fascia relief specialist, somatic practitioner, and chef—to explore how the body holds stress, how symptoms act as protective messages, and how regulation, not willpower, unlocks real healing for chronic pain and endometriosis.

Jenna takes us inside somatic therapy in plain language: body scans that anchor attention, audible breath that changes nervous system state, and gentle fascia release that loosens guarded tissue. We talk about why emotions must move to be metabolized, what “safety” actually feels like in your body, and how to create space for tears, shaking, and yawning as healthy release—not setbacks. You’ll hear how anticipatory fear can magnify cyclical pain, why pre-regulating before your period changes the experience, and how simple tools like a soft ball for gut work can ease cramps by helping organs relax and fascia un-grip.

We also dig into the real-life balance between medical care and somatic work. Rather than compete, they complement: a regulated system tolerates procedures better and recovers faster. Jenna offers micro-habits you can keep—60 seconds of shaking before bed, havening when anxiety spikes, hydration before coffee, and foot rolling while you watch TV—plus the surprising red flag high achievers miss: poor sleep. Finally, we map a practical life operating system across emotional, physical, and financial boundaries so your choices stop fueling fight or flight and start sending a steady message of safety.

If you’re navigating endometriosis, IBS, or lingering trauma, this conversation reframes your symptoms from failure to guidance. You’ll leave with grounded, repeatable practices to reduce flare intensity, restore trust with your body, and build resilience one small choice at a time. If this resonated, follow the show, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help others find these tools.

anyone
who
has
ever
been

your
labs
look
fine
while
your
body
is
screaming
otherwise.

of
pushing
through,
this
episode
is
about

new
way.
We're

safe
again.

Welcome
to
Indobattery,
where
I
share
my
journey
with
endometriosis
and
chronic
illness
while
learning
and
growing
along
the
way.
This
podcast
is
not
a
substitute
for
medical
advice,
but
a
supportive
space
to
provide
community
and
valuable
information
so
you
never
have
to
face
this
journey
alone.
We
embrace
a
range
of
perspectives
that
may
not
always
align
with
our
own,
believing
that
open
dialogue
helps
us
grow
and
gain
new
tools.
Join
me
as
I
share
stories
of
strength,
resilience,
and
hope.
From
personal
experiences
to
expert
insights.
Welcome
back
to
Indobattery.
Grab
your
cup
of
coffee
or
your
cup
of
tea
and

table.
Today
I
am
joined
by
Jenna
Storr,
a
professional
dancer-turned
fascia
relief
specialist,
somatic
practitioner,
and
a
Le
Coron
Bleu
trained
chef
whose
work
is
changing
how
we
understand
healing
in
the
body.
After
a
successful
career
in
film,
television,
and
touring,
Jenna
experienced
firsthand
how
on-processed
trauma
and
physical
strain
can
live
on
in
the
body.
And
that
experience
reshaped
her
life's
work.
Today,
she
supports
high-functioning
individuals
in
regulating
their
nervous
systems,
restoring
mobility,
and
reconnecting
with
their
vitality
through
somatic
movement,
fascial
release,
and
mindful
nourishment.
At
the
core
of
her
work
is
a
powerful
reminder
that
so
many
of
us
need
to
hear.
The
body
already
knows
how
to
heal
when
we
learn
how
to
listen.
So
grab
that
cup
of
coffee
or
tea
and
help
me
in
welcoming
Jenna
Stewart
to
the
table.
Thank
you,
Jenna,
so
much
for
sitting
down
with
me
today.
It's
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
have
you
sit
with
us
and
take
the
time
because
I
know
you're
so
busy.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
I
love
it.

SPEAKER_02
2:17

I
love
it.
I
love
talking.
Healing,
everything
healing.

SPEAKER_00
2:20

Yes.
And
before
we
get
started,
what
is
your
go-to
drink
order

The Chugacino TSA Saga

SPEAKER_00
2:26

for
the
day?

SPEAKER_02
2:26

My
go-to
drink
order.
Well,
I
have
become
savvy
to
this
renewed
chocolate.
And
it's
all
the
essential
mushrooms
and
cognitive
and
immunity
support.
And
it's
the
taste
of
it
is
unbelievable.
You
just
put
a
scoop
in
your
coffee
of
powder
and
it's
monk
fruit.
So
it's
no
artificial
sweeteners
and
no
added
sugar.
It's
just
a
monk
fruit.
Um,
but
that's
my
new
go-to.
And
it's
kind
of
funny
because
I
can't
not
go
anywhere
without
it.
So
I've
got
my
travel
packets,
I've
got
my
little
jar.
Um,
so
now
I've
got
my
boyfriend
on
it.
We're
always
like,
Chugga
Chino,
Chugga
Chino,
meet
you
in
the
cafe,
Chugga
Chino.
We
call
our
kitchen
the
cafe.

SPEAKER_01
3:10

And
it's
fun
to
say,
I
know.

SPEAKER_02
3:14

Well,
I
was
traveling
a
couple
weekends
ago
and
I
brought
my
big
bag,
which
had
been
open,
and
it
went
through
TSA
and
it
got
flagged.
And
I'm
like,
why
is
it
being
flagged?
And
he
goes,
Well,
it
resembles
gunpowder
because
it
was
open.
So
it
had
remnants
of
powder
on
it.
And
I
said,
It's
a
coffee
supplement.
And
he
said,
I
don't
have
the
authority
to
let
you
go
through.
We
have
to
get
an
expert
up
here.
I'm
like,
an
expert
for
a
coffee
supplement?
In
comes
explosives
expert
to
test
on
a
little
piece
of
paper
with
all
these
droppers.
So
it
was
30
minutes
in
TSA,
barely
got
on
our
flight,
and
it's
like,
oh
my
god,
my
Chugacino
supplement
is
like
starting
the
trip
off
really
bad.

SPEAKER_00
3:57

I
was
like,
it
was
at
the
like
I
was
in
my
mind
when
you
said
that,
I
thought
it
was
like
the
mushrooms
in
it.
Like
if
they
didn't,
but
it
was
the
monk
fruit.
That's
funny.

SPEAKER_02
4:05

Good
to
know.
Nothing
to
do
with
mushrooms.
Like,
and
I
said
there's
no
hallucinogenic.
He
said,
no,
no,
no,
it's
not
that.
It's
the
energy
of
the
powder
that
shows
up
as
like
the
the
fineness,
the
the
texture
of
it
or
the
grade
of
powder,
it
showed
up
as
gum
powder.

SPEAKER_00
4:23

So
interesting.
That's
an
interesting
fact.
I'm
I'm
just
gonna
chill
today
with
my
regular
little
coffee
because
I
didn't
have
a
cup
today.
So
here
we
are,
gonna
have
one
cup
of
coffee
just
because
it's
my
comfort
drink
more
than
anything
else.

SPEAKER_02
4:40

Yeah,
me
too.
Me
too.

Jenna’s Injury History And Rock Bottom

SPEAKER_00
4:42

Okay.
Well,
Jeanette,
is
uh
with
that
in
mind,
you've
talked
about
healing
and
it
being
something
that
you
really
are
passionate
about
and
in
the
way
that
you
treat
your
body.
Can
you
just
give
us
a
brief
synopsis
of
who
you
are,
what
you
do,
and
then
we'll
go
from
there.

SPEAKER_02
4:59

Absolutely.
Uh,
I
started
as
a
professional
dancer
at
16.
So
I
went
through
a
gamut
of,
you
know,
pulled
muscles,
torn
ligaments,
herniated
L4,
L5
on
a
dance
scholarship
when
I
was
22.
I
was
told
I
was
supposed
to
have
surgery.
I
went
through
doctors,
medication,
pills.
Um,
I've
been
through
ablasions,
epidurals,
I've
had
two
carpal
tunnel
surgeries
on
my
hands.
Um,
I
had
a
neck
issue
that
really
took
me
into
somatic
healing
because
I
went
to
every
pain
specialist
I
could
possibly
get
my
hands
on.
And
they
were,
I
was
in
so
much
pain,
they
were
injecting
like
Botox
into
my
neck
to
try
to
just
give
me
some
relief.
I
was
suicidal
at
that
point
because
I
would
wake
up
in
the
morning
and
it
was
like
being
in
a
nightmare
day
after
day
after
day.
I
was
in
so
much
pain.
And
I
just
thought
there
has
to
be
something
else.
I
can't
keep
putting
chemicals
in
my
body
and
you
know,
doctors
that
tell
me
things
that
probably
aren't
true,
like,
you
know,
do
this,
do
that,
and
you
do
it,
and
nothing
happens.
And
um,
I
was
trained
in
myofascia
reliefs
many,
many
years
ago
because
I
wanted
to
help
my
stomach.
I
had
a
cesarean
with
my
daughter.
And
as
a
dancer,
my
core
was
everything,
and
that's
why
my
back
was
weak.
And
so
I
found
this
woman,
got
trained
in
myofascia
release.
So
when
I
had
this
neck
issue,
I
thought,
you
know
what?
I'm
I'm
already
versed
in
all
these
healing
techniques.
Why
am
I
not
using
them?
I
was
a
health
coach,
I
was
doing
more
so
weight
loss,
and
I'm
a
trained
chef.
So
that
had
been
my
health
coaching
for
a
long
time.
And
then
this
issue
came
up
with
me,
and
I
thought
I
have
to
be
my
best
client.
And
I
dove
into
somatic
healing.
I
was
working
with
therapists
here
in
LA
with
sexual
trauma,
trauma
release,
psychotherapy,
evocative
therapy.
A
doctor
and
I
created
a
podcast
called
The
Sex
Matters.
We
talked
about
healing
with
trauma
from
rape
to
heartbreak,
uh,
accidents,
car
accidents,
surgeries
that,
you
know,
never
felt
like
they
healed,
internal
IBS.
I
mean,
you
name
it,
we
we
talked
about
it.
And
what
I
found
and
what
I
find
with
most
of
my
clients
is
dysregulated
nervous
system
will
be
the
death
of
you.
If
you
don't
learn
how
to
regulate
your
nervous
system,
you
will
cause
tremendous
illness
in
your
body.
And
I
agree
with
you.
I
think
the
medical
industry
is
necessary
for
certain
things,
but
our
bodies
are
so
capable
of
healing
so
much
emotionally
and
physically,
and
we
don't
understand
the
tools

Discovering Somatic Healing And Tools

SPEAKER_02
7:45

that
we
were
given
at
birth
to
heal
our
body.
And
it's
been
a
real,
it's
been
a
fascinating
journey
for
myself
because
I'm
so
emotionally
and
physically
regulated
that
when
stuff
comes
up
for
me
that
would
send
someone
off,
you
know,
into
a
spiral,
I'm
able
to
just
go,
you
know,
I
can
do
this.
I
have
the
tools
to
do
this.
And
that's
why
I
started
doing
somatic
coaching
and
trauma
release.
And,
you
know,
I've
been
through
it
and
I
know
I
know
the
capabilities
of
the
body.
I've
studied
with
some
really
tremendously
intelligent
and
forward-thinking
pioneers
of
somatic
healing.
And
it
just
clicked
for
me.
And
now
I
have
no
pain.
When
I
feel
pain
or
I
feel
stress
or
I
feel
anxiety,
any
of
those
things,
I
use
the
tools
that
I
have
and
I
can
bring
myself
back
immediately.
And
it's
been
a
it's
just
been
overwhelming.
So
I
have
this
urge
to
help
people.
You
know,
I
really
my
calling
is
to
help
people
understand
the
capabilities
that
your
body
has
to
heal.

SPEAKER_00
9:00

Yeah.

What Somatic Therapy Really Is

SPEAKER_00
9:01

For
those
people
hearing
the
term
somatic
therapy
for
the
first
time,
what
is
it
and
how
does
it
support
trauma
release,
chronic
pain
management?

SPEAKER_02
9:10

I
call
somatic,
the
term
somatic
is
body.
So
somatic
therapy
is
understanding
body
language.
What
is
your
body
trying
to
tell
you?
The
pain,
pings,
the
chronic
pain,
the
stress,
the
neck
issue,
the
back
issue,
that
is
your
body's
messaging
to
the
brain.
That
is
somatic.
So
it's
body
focused.
If
you
think
about,
you
know,
everybody
says
brain
to
body,
you
know,
you're
sending
your
body
signals.
Somatic
healing,
somatic
therapy
is
letting
your
body
send
the
signals
to
your
brain.
Right.
So
the
other
way
around,
which
is
the
way
that
it
should
be,
because
your
body
knows
before
your
brain
does.

SPEAKER_01
9:50

Right.

SPEAKER_02
9:50

You
know,
it's
your
body
is
going,
I
have
a
feeling,
I
have,
you
know,
my
intuition,
my
all
the
things
that
people
think
are
out
here
in
the
ether.
It's
like,
no,
it
really
does
exist
in
there.
And
it
will
tell
your
brain
before
you
even
realize
it.
But
most
people's
brains
will
shut
it
down.
I'm
okay,
I
don't
need
to
feel
this.
I
can
get
over
it,
I
can
overthink
it.
But
the
body
has
to
process
emotions.
It
has
to
process
anger,
sadness,
grief,
guilt,
joy,
excitement,
love.
And
we
tend
to
shut
it
down,
whether
it's
good
or
bad,
because
if
it's
good,
we're
afraid
that
it's
not
going
to
last
very
long
and
something
bad
will
happen.
So
we
don't
let
our
body
fully
process
it.
If
it's
bad,
it's
hard
to
feel
it.
We
don't
want
to
feel
angry.
We
don't
want
to
feel
sad.
We
don't
feel
heartbroken.
We
don't
want
to
feel
grief.
But
in
order
for
the
body
not
to
store
it
as
emotional
or
physical
chronic
pain,
we
have
to
let
it
process.
We
have
to
go,
okay,
I
am
really
sad.
What
does
sadness
feel
like?
Feel
it
in
your
body.
Where
do
you
feel
it?
And
then
have
the
tools
to
release
it,
which
is
somatic
movement,
body
movement,
breath
work.
I
teach
havening
now,
which
is,
you
know,
a
holding,
a
tapping,
great
for
people
that
have
tremendous
anxiety
and
panic,
panic
attacks.
It
brings
your
body
into
the
present
moment
and
it
allows
you
to
regulate
so
that
your
body
goes,
I'm
safe.
Like
I'm
not
in
fight
or
flight.
I'm
actually
safe.
Everything
is
okay
right
now.
And
that's
what
we're
missing
right
now.
We're
missing
that
tool
of
just
clicking.
How
do
I
regulate?
What
are
my
tools
that
work
best
for
me?
And
then
allowing
the
body
to
feel
safe
so
that
it
releases
those
emotions.

SPEAKER_00
11:37

Yeah.
Well,
and
it's
hard
when
we
feel
like
our
bodies
have
failed
us,
especially
with
endometriosis.
And
because
it's
not
a
linear
progression
of
things,
you
know,
we
often
do
feel
like
it's
failing
us
and
the
pain
is
getting
worse.
And
sometimes
it's
communicating
something
to
us
even
more.
And
so
I
think
just
for
these
people
in
the
chronic
illness
space,
for
someone
with
endometriosis
who

Letting Emotions Process In The Body

SPEAKER_00
12:00

feels
betrayed
by
their
bodies,
how
do
you
begin
to
rebuild
that
trust?

SPEAKER_02
12:04

That's
a
really
good
question.
It
is
like
going
to
the
gym.
It
really
is.
Like
you've
got
to
set
time
aside
to
listen
to
your
body.
You
know,
whether
it
be
with
a
coach
or
a
somatic
healer,
uh,
learning
how
to
listen.
You
know,
if
I
have
gut
issues,
I
just
think,
oh,
I'm
eating
the
wrong
thing,
or
it's
um
predisposed,
or
it's
because
I
have
this
or
I
have
this.
Well,
it
could
be
from
something
that
happened
as
a
child
that
was
never
fully
processed,
parental
programming,
abusive
household
that
that
is
now
stuck
in
there.
So
then
think
life
goes
on,
you
have
all
these
other
things
compounding
in
the
gut
where
that
initial,
like,
ugh
happened.
And
now
we're
we're
building
on
it.
It
was
never
allowed
to
release.
I
think
that
when
it
comes
to
the
first
steps
of
healing,
it's
knowing
how
to
listen
to
your
body,
how
to
tap
in.
I
I
do
I
start
every
session
with
my
clients
with
a
body
scan
and
we
go
through
the
entire
body
and
we
attach
emotions
to
it.
So
if
something
comes
up
for
someone,
you
know,
someone
with
endometriosis,
you
know,
they
can
probably
locate
it
pretty
quickly.
And
then
we're
looking
into
what
does
it
feel
like?
Can
you
attach
an
emotion
there?
What
does
that
emotion
feel
like
and
let
it
be
there?
Let
it
let
your
body
process
it.
And
then
we
go
through
breath
work
with
audible
exhales,
really
deep,
like
primal,
tribal
audible
exhales,
because
vibration
will
break
up
that
trauma,
especially
with
myofascia
release.
You
know,
when
you
have
an
injury
or
when
you
hold
trauma,
it
will
find
a
place.
So
if
endometriosis
is
the
main
issue,
and
then
a
breakup
happens,
that
endometriosis
will
then
the
symptoms
will
be
heightened
because
something
outside
that
is
stressful
to
the
body
that
we're
not
processing
properly
is
going
to
find
the
weak
spot
in
the
body
and
it's
going
to
cause
it
to
become
worse.

SPEAKER_00
14:09

So
it's
almost
like,
you
know,
they
talk
about
pain
signaling
and
it
being
like,
you
know,
you
cut
your
leg
one
time
and
it
heals,
but
then
you
go
back
and
you
scrape
your
leg
there.
It's
not
a
cut,
but
it
feels
like
it's
cut
again.
Like
you
have

Rebuilding Trust With A “Betrayed” Body

SPEAKER_00
14:25

it's
like
that
wiring
in
your
brain
that
tells
you,
uh-oh,
something
is
hurting
you
again.
Same
thing.
It's
like
that
pattern.
Is
it
common
for
people
to
feel
like
an
emotional
release,
like
crying
or
exhaustion
when
they
first
start
somatic
work?
Yes.

unknown
14:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_02
14:39

Uh
specific
instance,
I
have
a
client
who
had
a
very,
it
was
a
disruptive
childhood.
It
was
an
abusive,
like
emotionally
abusive
childhood.
And
when
we
started
to
really
get
into
like
deeper
work
with
her
and
childhood
memories,
she
had
a
she
said
she
felt
like
there
was
a
rock
in
her
throat
and
it
she
couldn't
get
past
it.
And
so
tears
and
you
know,
you
a
lot
of
people
don't
like
to
cry
because
it's
scary.
And
they're
like,
I
don't
want
to
cry,
I
don't
want
to
cry.
But
crying
is
healing.
And
so
she
having
this
thing,
she
didn't
know
she
was
gonna
throw
up,
she
couldn't
breathe.
And
so
it's
now
finding
a
way
to
breathe
through
it,
like
understand
what
is
there.
And
it
was
her
mother.
This
is
her
mother.
She
couldn't
get
her
voice
out
to
protect
herself
as
a
kid
because
her
mom
was
so
abusive
and
so
dominating
that
this
was
stuck
and
it
was
still
stuck.
And
we
had
to
find
the
way
to
let
her
feel
it,
but
also
be
able
to
go.
I'm
in
the
present
moment,
I'm
safe
here,
and
I
can
let
my
body
feel
this
in
a
safe
place.
And
that
is
how
healing
begins
is
to
you're
scanning
the
body,
you're
finding
where
does
a
memory
come
up,
where
does
a
traumatic
moment
come
up,
and
then
understanding
why
it's
there
and
what
emotion
is
there,
and
now
let's
move
it.
And
it
doesn't
happen
in
one
session.
A
lot
of
people
things
are
so
suppressed,
especially
sexual
trauma,
it's
some
people
don't
even
know
that
it's
there.

SPEAKER_01
16:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
16:17

You
have
to
like
really
sit
in
it
and
and
do
some
really
deep
work.
But
to
kind
of
cap
your
question
on
how
do
people
start
to
heal,
it
has
to
be
like
a
want,
a
real
want.
You
know,
which
your
mind
says,
like,
I
want
to
lose
weight.
Well,
you
can
try
here
and
there,
and
you
know,
maybe,
and
then
you're
like,
whoops,
it
didn't
work,
whatever.
But
healing
is
no,
I
am
going
to
heal
this.
I
am
going
to
make
the
choice
to
do
this
for
myself
and
commit
to
it
because
it's
hard
for
people.
It
is
really
hard
to
pull
up
past
feelings
or
store
trauma.
You
know,
the
body
is
just
trying
to
protect
us.
We're
constantly
in
fight
or
flight.
And
I
would
imagine
that
an
endometriosis
has
a
lot
to
do
with
that,
is
people
who
are
not
processing
past
trauma,
the
body
is
just
so
tight
and
constriction
and
all
the
organs

Body Scans, Breath, And Fascia Work

SPEAKER_02
17:10

are
constricted
that
the
body's
not
allowing
itself
to
heal.
It's
not
allowing
it
to
do
its
job
because
the
brain's
going,
no,
you
stay
tight.
You
stay,
you
know,
you
got
to
protect
me.

SPEAKER_00
17:21

Yeah.
How
is
this
different
from
just
doing
stretching
and
yoga?
And,
you
know,
because
I'm
sure
people
are
thinking,
well,
I
can
just
like,
you
know,
be
calm,
be
within
myself
and
do
yoga.
How
is
this
different?
Is
it
addressing
it
more
like
head-on?

SPEAKER_02
17:33

I
it's
almost
like
a
hypnotic
state
of
visualization.
So
you
have
to
learn
how
to
go
into
your
body
and
be
in
your
body
because
we
can
float
like
a
meditation,
you
know,
it's
so
hard
to
meditate,
you
know,
people's
thoughts.
Like,
I
can't
meditate
because
it's
just
I
can't
be
quiet.
And
then
I
have
all
these
thoughts,
all
these
things.
But
a
body
meditation,
a
body
scan
is
actually
going
in
and
feeling
the
tip
of
my
right
big
toe.
I
can
feel
my
right
big
toe
right
now.
And
then
we
move
through
every
toe,
every
the
ball
of
your
foot,
the
arch
of
your
foot,
the
heel
of
your
foot.
You
know,
we
get
up
into
the
hip
and
the
womb,
and
that's
where
a
lot
of
people
go,
yeah,
there
it
is
for
women
a
lot.
A
lot.
And
that
could
be
just
from
having
a
child,
natural
childbirth
or
cesarean
section.
Their
womb
has
held
so
much
trauma
from
childbirth.
But
we
go,
oh,
it's
natural
and
it's
fine,
you
heal
and
everything's
good,
and
you
have
another
child.
Well,
the
trauma
that
your
body
goes
through
to
deliver
a
child,
let
alone
be
cut
open
and
a
child
pulled
out
while
you're
numb.

SPEAKER_01
18:43

Right.

SPEAKER_02
18:44

You
know,
the
body
never
got
to
process
that.
Number
one,
because
it
was,
you
know,
an
epidural
was
given,
or,
you
know,
the
I
would
say
probably
the
best
or
the
the
women
who
don't
experience
a
lot
of
trauma
in
the
womb
are
women
that
have
natural
childbirth
in
a
water
bath.
The
body
is
allowing
them
to
feel
the
things
that
all
the
natural
components
are
there.
The
body
is
processing
properly.

SPEAKER_01
19:11

Interesting.

SPEAKER_00
19:12

You
talked
about
one
of
the
huge
misunderstandings
is
that
healing
comes
from
the
outside.
And
this
is
powerful
because
many
of
the
people
listening,
I'm
sure,
have
been
through
surgeries,
medications,
dismissal,
and
internalized
the
idea
that
they're
the
problem.
Like
this
is
this
is
my
problem,
that
I'm
the
one
causing
this.
And
we
do
hear
this
a
lot.
It's
like,
well,
if
you
hadn't
have
eaten
this
food,
or
if
you
hadn't
done
this,
if
you'd
taken
care
of
yourself,
if
you'd
gone
X,
Y,
and
Z.
So
we
hear
this
all
the
time.
And
that
in
and
of
itself
causes
a
lot
of
trauma
for
us.
How
do
you
help
someone
reframe
symptoms
as
protection
rather
than
failure?

SPEAKER_02
19:53

Again,
your
body
is
communicating
body
language.
So
if
you're
feeling
something,
that
isn't
just
because
you
ate
something
or
you're
not
doing
something,
you're
not
lifting
enough,
you're
not
taking
the
right
supplements.
That
is
your
body
saying,
Hey,
I
need,
I
need
you
to
look
at
this,
I
need
you
to
feel
this.
And
we
don't,
we're
we're
not
taught
to
look
at
and
listen
to
our
bodies
like
that.
It's
like
you
go
exterior
for
a
pill,
a
doctor,
a
procedure,
surgery.
And
I,
you
know,
like
I
said,
I
do
agree
when
it's
necessary,
it's
necessary.
I
mean,
I've
had
carpal
tunnel,
I've
had,
you
know,
I've
done
nerve
lasions,
I've
had
cesarean,
you
know,
but
the

Emotional Release And Safety In Practice

SPEAKER_02
20:35

body
has
to
heal
as
much
as
it
possibly
can
on
its
own.

SPEAKER_01
20:40

Right.

SPEAKER_02
20:40

When
we
start
injecting
all
these
opinions,
you
think,
you
know,
you
have
four
different
doctors
telling
you
four
different
things,
and
your
body's
all
like,
I
don't
know,
and
I'm
just
gonna
stay
ill
because
I
don't
know
what
to
do.

SPEAKER_01
20:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
20:55

So
it
is
a
language
that
has
to
be
learned.
And
that
is
really
sitting
and
feeling
into
your
body
where
do
I
feel
things?
Where,
what
emotion
do
I
feel?
We
don't
do
that,
you
know.
You
can
go
to
a
head
therapist,
you
can
go
to
a
massage
therapist,
you
can
go
to
a
pelvic
floor
therapist,
you
can
do
all
these
things
that
will
help
you
feel
things
and
do
things.
But
how
often
do
we
just
sit
with
our
body
and
go,
okay,
I'm
listening
to
you
right
now.
Tell
me,
like,
what
are
you
feeling?
Let's
feel
this.

SPEAKER_01
21:27

Right.

SPEAKER_02
21:28

And
cry,
laugh,
yawn,
scream,
you
know,
get
it
out.
It's
such
a
concept
that
people
don't
believe
in.
And
I
am
a
living,
I'm
living
proof
that
I
know
that
it
works.
Right.
People
that
I
work
with
know
that
it
works
now.

SPEAKER_01
21:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
21:46

It's
not
something
that
you
have
to
keep,
you
know,
paying
for,
or
you
learn
the
tools.
And
then
the
practice
is
to
keep
doing
this
for
yourself
so
that
your
body
can
heal.
It
can
take
on
new
sadness,
grief,
anger,
all
of
the
thing,
and
be
able
to
go,
oh,
that
that
was
sadness.
Painful.
But
I
know
what
sadness
feels
like.
My
body's
capable
of
feeling
sadness.

SPEAKER_00
22:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
22:13

And
letting
it
go.

SPEAKER_00
22:15

Yeah.
For
those
that
are
listening
who
need
medical
intervention
because
of
the
disease,
many
of
us
will.
How
does
somatic
therapy
and
medical
care
coexist
instead
of
compete?

SPEAKER_02
22:26

Well,
I
would
say
a
lot
of
Western
medicine
doctors
don't
know
the
word
somatic.
They
don't,
that's
not
what
they
studied.
It's
not
in
the
books
yet.
Right.
But
what
I
would
suggest
to
someone
who
is
wanting
natural
healing
and
then
wanting
like
a
real
doctor
for
a
real
physical
condition
that
needs
attention
is
to
work
with
the
two
independently
and
see
what
see
what's
happening
naturally
while
options
are
coming
about
for,
you
know,
a
surgery
or
a
procedure
that
could
help
that
has
been
proven
to
help
certain
conditions.
But
the
problem
is
that
we
look
to
doctors
to
tell
us
what's
happening
in
our
bodies.
We're
not
listening
to
our
bodies.
We're
letting
someone
else
tell
us.
And
so
the
healing
part
is
yes,
I
can
bring
someone
in
and
help
them
understand
that,
you
know,
they
may
need
a
surgery.
But
let's
get
your
body
to
a
regulated
place
so
that
when
it
goes
into
surgery,
it
can
heal
properly.
It
can
be
in
a
place
where
it's
not
so
wound
up
that
now
you
have
more
trauma
from
surgery.
And
now
your
body
is
in
worse
shape
than
it
was.
You
know,
how
many
times
you
hear
people
have
had
one,
two,
three
back
surgeries
and
they
still
have
back
problems?

SPEAKER_01
23:53

Right.

SPEAKER_02
23:54

Because
they
weren't
allowed
to
heal
going
into
it
and
they
weren't
allowed
to
heal
after
it.
So
they
went,
well,
that
didn't
work.
Now
I
got
to
do
another
one.

SPEAKER_00
24:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
24:03

So
it's

Working With Medicine Without Losing Yourself

SPEAKER_02
24:04

giving
the
body
space
to
naturally
heal
before
jumping
into
something
that
could
be
more
traumatic
and
cause
more
problems.

SPEAKER_00
24:12

Yeah.
Yeah.
I
mean,
I
think
so
many
of
us
don't
want
to
sit
in
a
space
where
we
listen
to
our
bodies
because
it's
betrayed
us
so
much.
Yes.
And
I
think
what
gets
hard
about
this
and
is
that
we
have
repeated
pain
a
lot
of
times.
So
because
it's
so
cyclical
for
a
lot
of
people,
they're
experiencing
on
a
month-to-month
basis
this
you're
already,
you
know,
it
inflames
every
month
due
to
your
cycle
a
lot
of
times,
right?
So
we're
having
this
repeated
pain
month
after
month,
and
it
reinforces
these
stress
patterns.
Can
the
body
come
out
of
that
stuck
trauma
response?
100%.

SPEAKER_02
24:50

It's
ready.
It's
a
cycle,
it's
called
a
cycle
for
a
reason
because
it,
you
know,
it
repeats,
obviously.
But
you
can
change
how
that
cycle
happens.
So
if
I
know
that
in
two
days
the
buildup's
coming
and
I'm
going
to
be
in
a
lot
of
pain,
I
can
start
doing
somatic
release
so
that
my
body
can
relax.
It
can
be,
you
know,
in
a
regulated
state
for
then
what
is
to
come.
But
if
the
body's
already
braced
for
it
subconsciously,
because
it
knew
from
last
month
that
that's
what
happened.
So,
oh,
here
it
comes
again.
Your
body
again
is
in
a
dysregulated
state,
and
now
it's
taking
on
these
symptoms
and
causing
more
compounded
trauma
and
stress
and
pain,
I'm
sure.
I
I
pulled
this
up
because
this
is
a
yoga
ball,
soft
yoga
ball,
and
this
is
what
I
use
for
gut
fascia
release.
And
I
did
a
uh
seminar
for
young
dancers,
and
this
we
did
some
gut
work,
and
I
had
a
couple
of
the
girls
say
that
they
had
cramps
that
day.
And
after
doing
this,
their
cramps
were
gone.
And
if
you
think
about
when
your
body
contracts,
your
uterus
contracts,
you're
about
to,
you
know,
enter
into
your
cycle,
everything
is
gripping.
You
like
on
this
and
you
breathe,
and
it
expands
your
fascia,
it
allows
your
organs
to
relax
into
your
body
and
your
breath
is
moving
energy,
and
everything
is
now
in
a
regulated
state.
When
a
period
comes
or
a
cycle
comes
or
pain
symptoms
come,
your
body
can
go,
oh,
there
it
is.
But
I
regulated
versus,
you
know,
it's
like
if
you
gripped
yourself
because
you
knew
you
were
gonna
be
hit,
the
hurt
is
going
to
be
intensified.
If
you
know,
loosen
your
body,
like
they
say,
when
for
people
that
jump
out
of
planes,
if
you
know
that
your
chute's
not
going
to
open,
let
your
body
go
loose.
Don't
because
that's
how
you
cause
more
injury.
It's
learning
to
be
loose
and
allow
things
to
come
through
your
body
so
that
there
isn't
more
injury.
There
isn't
more
stress
to
the
body.

SPEAKER_00
27:03

Right,
right.
And
and
this
is,
I
mean,

Anticipatory Pain And Cycle Regulation

SPEAKER_00
27:06

for
someone
like
me,
it
sometimes
that
feels
like
that's
easier
said
than
done
when
you've
had
years
and
years.
And
you
have
lesions
that
have
already
formed
and
grown.
So
that
in
and
of
itself
is
painful.
But
what
I'm
hearing
more
so
is
that
there
is
a
way
to
help
your
body
release
some
of
that
that's
already
built
up,
but
also
support
not
getting
further
into
that
fight
and
flight,
not
getting
more
into
that
chronic
pain,
tension,
and
your
body
holding
on
to
even
more
than
it's
already
done.
It's
kind
of
like,
you
know,
piling
on
more
trash
in
a
trash
can
type
of
thing
without
emptying
it.
Yeah,
it
doesn't
solve
the
problem.

SPEAKER_02
27:45

It's
a
band-aid,
you
know,
right
like
to
take
a
pill,
do
an
injection.
Yeah,
those
are
band-aids.

SPEAKER_00
27:51

Yeah,
yeah.
For
people
that
are
already
exhausted,
because
let's
be
honest,
we
all
are
life
is
is
hard.
What
are
the
simplest
daily
practices
that
truly
support
resilience
and
longevity
when
you're
talking
about
somatic
therapy?

SPEAKER_02
28:07

Well,
waking
up
in
the
morning
and
asking
your
body
to
tell
you
what
it
needs
for
the
day.
So,
does
it
need
more
sleep?
Does
it
need
more
nutrients?
You
know,
if
you've
had
a
night
drinking
and
you
wake
up
instead
of
just
going
right
into
coffee
and
work
and
stress,
like
asking
the
body,
like,
what
do
you
need
today?
I'm
listening
and
I'm
supportive.
Let's,
you
know,
let's
think
about
this
the
state
that
we're
in
and
support
that
state
because
every
day
it
changes.

SPEAKER_01
28:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
28:39

Going
to
bed
at
night,
I
say
if
you
can
just
shake,
you
know,
really
shake
and
like
move
the
body,
move
energy,
because
if
you've
had
a
stressful
day
and
then
you
go
to
bed
and
you
wake
up
and
you
do
it
all
over
again,
you
are
compounding
trauma
on
your
body
over
and
over
again,
and
there
is
no
release.
So,
yes,
you
can
do
yoga,
which
is
very
helpful.
Meditation
does
help,
but
somatic
movement,
body
movement,
anything,
jumping
on
a
rebounder
is
amazing
for
somatic
healing.
You
can
do
havening
where
you're
actually
like
touching
the
body,
and
the
body
knows
like
I'm
in
the
chest.
So
if
I
have,
you
know,
TMJ,
like
and
I'm
tapping
here,
I
can't
be
thinking
about
what
my
day
is
tomorrow
if
I'm
doing
this.
I'm
actually
communicating
with
my
body.
Like
I
know
that
my
jaw
is
tight
and
it
hurts.
God,
there's
so
many
things.
You
know,
I
do
my
boyfriend
had
plantar
fasciitis.
He
has
terrible
feet.
This
is
a
neuroball.
This
has
saved
his
life.
He
had
a
hard
time
getting
up
and
standing
on
his
feet.
And
this
just
rolling
his
feet
five
minutes
in
the
morning.
He
goes
to
the
gym,
he
has
no
foot
pain.
You
know,
it
doesn't
mean
that
his
feet
are
like
miraculously
healed,
but
he's
starting
to
listen
to
what
his
feet
need.
And
now
he's
just
a
day.
We
take
these
balls
everywhere.
I've
got
like
10
of
them
in
the
house.
We're
sitting,
we're
watching
TV.

Simple Daily Somatic Habits

SPEAKER_02
30:05

He's
rolling,
he's
drinking
coffee,
he's
rolling,
he's
got
one
under
his
desk,
he's
rolling.
It's
incorporating
all
these
little
micro
habits
that
help
the
body
to
regulate
because
it
knows
it's
being
heard.
Because
your
body,
if
you're
not
listening
to
it,
it
is
going
to
send
you
signals
until
it
takes
you
down.

SPEAKER_01
30:24

Right.

SPEAKER_02
30:25

This
is
my
mom
as
a
perfect
example.
She's
78
and
the
woman
is
riddled
in
pain,
back
pain,
hip
pain,
she
had
carpal
tunnel.
You
know,
I
thought,
God,
I
hope
to
God
this
isn't
predisposed
because
she
has
tried
everything,
every
surgery,
surgeon.
Oh,
I'm
seeing
this.
I
got
an
MRI.
And
then
when
I
got
into
somatic
work
and
looking
at
trauma
healing,
and
I
look
back
at
her
life,
the
amount
of
trauma
that
she
has
not
processed
is
unfathomable.
I
mean,
her
brother
committed
suicide.
And
at
the
funeral,
I
sat
next
to
my
mom
and
she
didn't
shed
a
tear.
And
I
said,
Mom,
are
you
gonna
process
this?
And
she
said,
if
I
open
the
floodgates,
I
won't
stop.
So
she
she
just
chose
not
to.
So
she
holds
that
in
her
body
and
then
wonders
why
she's
in
so
much
pain.
You
know,
she
can't
sleep
because
her
neck
and
her
back,
and
it's
just
she's
set
in
her
ways.
I've
tried,
you
know.
Yeah,
you
get
to
a
certain
point
and
you're
like,
it's
it's
useless.
Like
uh,
it's
I'm
just
helpless.
Like,
I
I
can't.
Like
they
would
never
older
people
don't
go,
oh,
somatic
eating.
It's
like
not
in
their
wheelhouse.

SPEAKER_01
31:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
31:34

So
trying
to
get
people
to
jump
in
wherever
they
are,
whatever
age
they
are
now,
it's
never
too
late
to
start
a
conversation
with
your
body.

SPEAKER_00
31:44

Yeah,
yeah.
I
mean,
I
think
for
chronic
illness
listeners,
this
often
shows
up
as
grief,
right?
Grieving
the
body
they
used
to
have,
or
the
version
of
themselves
they
were
before
the
illness
or
before
it
got
so
bad.
How
do
people
redefine
success
when
their
body
changes?

SPEAKER_02
32:04

It's
it's
difficult
for
people.
I
think
for
me,
I
had
to
hit
rock
bottom
because
I
tried
everything
and
I
just
went,
you
know
what?
Like
let's
try
this.
And
then
it
was
like
I
hit
gold,
struck
struck
oil,
you
know.
I
think
it's
people
have
to
be
open,
they
just
have
to
surrender
to
gotta
change
something.
Like
somatic
healing
is
not
just
body,
it
changes
the
way
the
brain
thinks
about
the
body,
it
changes
the
way
it
fires
signals,
it
changes
neuroplasticity,
it
changes
the
whole
composition
of
the
brain.
So,
you
know,
people
when
they
start
to
get
into
somatic
healing,
suddenly
things
don't,
they
don't
want
to
do
things
that
are
damaging
to
their
body.

SPEAKER_01
32:52

Right.

SPEAKER_02
32:53

They
start
being
considerate
of
their
body.
So,
like,
you
know,
I
used
to
love
wine.
I
just
I
love
wine.
And
now
I
go,
my
body
doesn't
like
it.
Listening
to
my
body
versus
like
my
brain
going,
you
want
to
drink
that
glass
of

Unprocessed Trauma And Family Patterns

SPEAKER_02
33:08

Bordeaux
that
is
so
rare,
you
know.
I
just
go,
Yeah.
No,
my
my
body's
in
control
and
it
doesn't
want
it
because
it
knows.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How
you
know
we
think
we
have
to
start
thinking
about
what
does
my
body
want
and
not
letting
the
brain
talk
you
out
of
it.

SPEAKER_00
33:26

Yeah,
yeah.
You
talk
about
building
a
life
operating
system,
right?
You're
you're
talking
about
how
to
really
understand
your
operating
system
in
a
and
the
way
that
your
body
is
operating.
What
does
that
mean
in
a
way
that
feels
doable,
not
overwhelming?
Because
to
some,
this
feels
like
another
step
and
it
it's
all
these
things
that
we
have
to
try
to
accomplish.
Check
off
this
list.
It's
you
know,
the
that
type
of
thing.
Can
we
make
it
doable
where
it's
not
overwhelming
and
causing
more
stress?

SPEAKER_02
33:53

If
you
think
about
like
a
basic,
you
know,
a
basic
plan.
So
a
life
operating
system
is
emotional,
physical,
financial.
And
you
can
start
with
little
changes
that
are
non-negotiables.
So,
you
know,
for
me,
like
the
wine
is
that's
a
non-negotiable
for
me.
I
won't
drink
a
bottle
of
wine
because
I
know
it's
good
wine.
I
just
go,
that's
a
non-negotiable.
I
don't
do
those
things
anymore
because
I
know
that
my
body
is
not,
it's
not
gonna,
it's
gonna
react
negatively.
You
know,
financial
stuff.
I
don't
blow
money
on
things
that
don't
bring
me
joy.
You
know,
that
is
one
thing.
Like,
does
this
pair
of
very
expensive
glasses
do
they
bring
me
joy?
Are
they
gonna
really
make
my
life
different?
No.
And
then
my
brain
started
to
get
into
like
minimalist
thinking
like,
do
I
does
that
work
for
me?
And
then
suddenly
my
finances
are,
you
know,
different.
And
I'm
able
to
invest
and
buy
a
house.
And
it's
like
a
life
operating
system
is
really
writing
down
boundaries
for
yourself
and
what
you
will
do
and
what
you
won't
do,
and
then
abiding
by
your
own
rules.
And
it's
really
important
in
emotion
the
emotional
context
of
your
life
is
personal
boundaries
around
your
relationships.
What
will
you
tolerate
in
a
relationship?
What
will
you
tolerate
in
a
relationship
at
work,
your
coworkers,
your
boss,
your
parents,
you
know,
a
lot
of
people?
It's
just
got
shit
coming
at
them
all
the
time.
And
then
think
about
what
that
does
to
your
gut.

SPEAKER_01
35:27

Yep.

SPEAKER_02
35:28

And
then
if
you
have
any
sort
of
condition,
you
know,
pre-existing
condition,
and
now
you're
letting
people
dump
their
emotions
and
feelings
on
you,
is
that
a
system
that
works?
No.

SPEAKER_01
35:41

Right.

Redefining Success As Your Body Changes

SPEAKER_02
35:42

And
so
little
micro
changes
in
like
really
looking
at
emotional,
physical,
and
financial.
What
are
my
what's
my
bar,
you
know,
non-negotiables
for
myself
right
now?
They
don't
have
to
be
big
ones.
Just
and
then
every
year,
like
I
do
a
life
audit
with
my
clients,
like,
okay,
it's
the
beginning
of
the
year.
Let's
audit
emotional,
physical,
financial.
And
what
are
now
what's
a
new
layer
that
we
can
put
on
the
on
what
we've
done
in
the
past
to
now
look
at
getting
even
better
health-wise,
emotional-wise,
relationship-wise,
financially.
You
know,
we
just
kind
of
cruise
through
life
and
go,
oh,
I'm
in
a
lot
of
pain
and
I
have
a
shitty
relationship.
And,
you
know,
that's
not
a
life
operating
system.
That
is
fight
or
flight,
survival,
disease,
you
name
it,
it's
there.

SPEAKER_00
36:29

Yeah.
I
mean,
there's
so
much
to
unpack
with
it
because
I
mean,
we
can
unpack
even
more
than
this,
but
one,
you
know,
a
lot
of
us
are
overachievers
and
and
like
to
ignore
pain
because
we
don't
want
to
give
up
on
the
daily
life
that
it
could,
you
know,
affect.
And
so
if
there
is
one
red
flag
that
you
see
for
those
high
achiever
people
that
they
should
stop
and
reassess,
what
is
a
red
flag
that
you
would
say
that
would
first
pop
up?

SPEAKER_02
36:55

Lack
of
sleep.

SPEAKER_00
36:56

Interesting.

SPEAKER_02
36:57

Insomnia,
like
or
you
know,
I
only
sleep
three
hours.
I'm
fine.
No,
you
are
not.
You
are
telling
yourself
a
lie,
and
your
body
is
exhausted
and
you
are
burning
out.
Injury.
If
you
are
prone
to
injury,
um,
that's
a
big
one
because
I
see
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
sleep
have
a
injury
because
they're
floating
up
in
their
brain
just
trying
to
get
through
the
day
because
they
haven't
slept.
And
now
they
have
they've
rolled
their
ankle,
they've
gotten
into
a
car
accident,
um,
you
know,
they've
cut
their
finger,
like
anything,
lack
of
sleep
is
a
really
a
big
one.

SPEAKER_00
37:33

Interesting.
That
would
have
not
probably
been
the
first
one
that
I
ever
would
have
thought
of,
but
that
does
make
a
lot
of
sense
for
sure.
We
talk
a
lot
about
food
being
an
issue
for
endometriosis.
We've
talked
about
this
before
with
the
gut.
You're
you
were
talking
about
IBS
from
a
nutritional
standpoint,
because
we're
conscious
of
like
how
trauma
has
formed
around
what
we've
eaten.
And
what
nutritional
support
helps
the
emotional
resilience?

SPEAKER_02
38:00

You
know,
it's
different
for
everyone.
I
do
believe

Building A Life Operating System

SPEAKER_02
38:03

in
blood
type
eating.

SPEAKER_01
38:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_02
38:08

For
me,
I
have
an
O
blood
type.
I
crave
iron.
I
am
anemic
if
I
don't
eat
meat.
And
that's
a
huge
problem
for
me.
So
understanding
your
blood
type
and
what
works
with
your
blood
type
is
really
important.
But,
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
are
like,
oh,
I
don't
care,
you
know.
But
if
you
want
to
get
better,
if
you
want
your
body
to,
you
know,
optimize
energy
and
and
and
be,
you
know,
sustainable,
um,
that's
really
important.
Hydration.
You
know,
I
mean,
it
kills
me
that
like
we
never
thought
of
bottled
water
or
carrying
water
around
with
us
when
we
were
kids.
It
was
like
you
drink
out
of
a
hose
and
oh,
I'm
thirsty,
I'll
have
to
choke,
or
I'll
have
a
glass
of
milk.
It's
like,
what?
And
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
still
to
this
day,
it's
like,
have
you
drank
water
today?
Like,
no,
you
know,
they
go
straight
to
coffee
in
the
morning,
they're
not
hydrating.
Um,
you
know,
all
your
cells
are
like
shriveling
up,
and
now
you
have
stress
coming
at
you.
So
you're
like,
okay,
I'm
dehydrated,
I'm
hungry,
I'm
tired.
You
know,
you
see
the
vicious
cycle
of
just
like,
you
know.
But
again,
those
are
little
micro
that
is
a
life
operating
system.
I
go
to
bed
at
this
time,
I
turn
my
phone
off
at
this
time,
I
drink,
you
know,
a
large
glass
of
water
as
soon
as
I
wake
up.
But
those
are
not
hard
things
to
start
with.

SPEAKER_00
39:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
39:27

And
they
will
make
huge
changes.

SPEAKER_00
39:29

Yeah,
absolutely.
I
mean,
there's
so
much
that
we
could
unpack.
I
mean,
I
I
feel
like
we
are
just
touching
the
surface
on
so
much
of
this.
So
much
of
this.
But
if
there's
one
thing
that
you
could
tell
someone
that
is
living
in
a
chronic
illness
body,
especially
on
their
hardest
days,
what
would
it
be?

SPEAKER_02
39:47

That
it's
not
on
a
sentence.
This
isn't
this
is
not
how
you
have
to
live.
That,
you
know,
you
can
the
body
can
heal.
And,
you
know,
a
lot
of
chronic
pain
is
emotionally
related.
It's
not
because
you're
physically
doing
something
that's
causing
you
pain
or
you're
not
exercising
enough,
or
it
is
usually
trauma
that
has
caused
emotional
pain
and
it
has
found
a
place
in
the
body,
and
now
it
is
chronic
pain.
So
that's
that's
where
it
has
to
start.
And
that's
really
it's
hard,
it's
hard
for
people,
but
they
don't
want
to
bring
up
emotional
stuff.
But
that
is
where
the
body
starts
to
heal.

SPEAKER_00
40:29

Yeah.
Well,
and
I
think,
you
know,
a
lot
of
us
in
the
endometriosis
space
here,
it's
all
in
not
all
in
your
head
or
whatever,
but
you
haven't
dealt
with
the
trauma
and
the
pain.
And
I
think
that
there
might
be
elements
of
truth
to
that.
It
can't
be
a
scapegoat
completely
for
everyone
that
has
severe
disease,
especially
deep
infiltrating
disease,
but
it
could
be
a
tool
for
a
lot
of
people
to
heal
parts
that
haven't
been
dealt
with,
maybe
alleviating
some
of
these
symptoms
and
pain
that
you're
dealing
with
on
a
consistent
basis.
Not
saying
that
you
don't
have
any
pain,
but
this
is
such
a
great
way
for

SPEAKER_00

people
to
have
an
extra
tool
in
their
tool
belt
to
be
able
to
identify
what
is
really
hurting
versus
it's
just
trauma
response
pain
where
everything
hurts.
It's
radiating
pain.
Um,
I
can't
tell
one
way
or
the
other
because
this
is
what
it's
felt
like
my
whole
life.
And
so
what
you're
talking
about,
and
what
I
and
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
this
is
a
way
for
us
to
help
our
bodies
heal
while
also
identifying
other
ways
that
it
needs
more
attention.
And
and
that's
allowing
us
the
space
to
do
so.
Right.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
41:39

Your
own
doctor,
you
know,
your
own
somatic
practitioner
is,
you
know,
if
my
body
is
tight
and
stressed,
and
you
know,
endometriosis
is
going
to
feel
a
thousand
times
worse.

SPEAKER_00
41:53

Yeah,
yeah,
for
sure.
Yeah.
And
this
is
a
cue.
You're
not
lazy,
you're
not
broken,
your
body
is
not
failing
you.
It's
been
protecting
you
the
best
way
it
knows
how,
right?
And
so
learning
to
listen
may
be
one
of
the
most
radical
forms
of
healing
that
we
have.
Absolutely.
Janet,
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time.
I'm
learning
so
much
about
this,
and
I
feel
like
we
could
probably
unpack
about
three
or
four
hours
more
of
this.
Probably.
Totally.
Well,
that's
like
we
might
need
to
revisit
this
again.

SPEAKER_01
42:21

Sure.
For
sure.

SPEAKER_00
42:23

But
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time.
I
know
that
in
a
day
that
gets
so
busy
and
overwhelming,
it
can
be
hard
to
sit
down
and
take
that
time.
But
thank
you
for
doing
it.

SPEAKER_02
42:31

Yes,
yes.

SPEAKER_00
42:32

Well,
until
next
time,
everyone,
continue
advocating
for
you
and
for
others.
