Welcome to this week’s episode of the Healing Her Story Podcast. Today, I’m joined by Kim Stevens, a holistic licensed psychotherapist specializing in somatic therapy, mindfulness-based modalities, dance and movement therapy, and trauma healing.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “You have to feel it to heal it.” But what does that actually mean? And how can you begin to reconnect with your body, especially if feeling has never felt safe?

Many women struggle with feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of burnout, people-pleasing, or emotional suppression. If you’ve ever found yourself avoiding emotions, ignoring your body’s signals, or struggling with trust in yourself, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

🌹 Kim’s personal journey into somatic trauma therapy and what led her to this work

🌹 Why trauma often disconnects us from our emotions and sensations

🌹 How somatic therapy differs from traditional talk therapy (and why it can be so effective)

🌹 Signs that trauma is stored in the body and how to recognize them

🌹The first steps to rebuilding a sense of safety and trust within your body

🌹How somatic healing can support those who feel stuck in cycles of burnout, overgiving, or self-abandonment

🌹Practical, everyday tools to reconnect with your body and emotions—without feeling overwhelmed

If you’ve been longing for deeper connection, more ease, and true healing—this episode is your invitation to begin.
