Where Trauma Lives in the Body & Somatic Practices to Rebuild Safety

Episode 13

mercredi 12 novembre 2025 • Duration 30:48

Did you know the bracing in your jaw, the stiffness in your neck, or even the heaviness in your hips could be from unprocessed trauma? In this episode, Britt explains the science and history of somatic psychology, how the body holds the story of what the mind can’t always name, and explores how each area of the body tells its own story. From the hips, legs, and joints that carry unfinished instinct; to the diaphragm and chest that guard our emotions; to the shoulders, neck, and jaw that brace to keep us safe — Britt helps you understand how these patterns are not failures, but intelligent adaptations. She then guides you through a gentle body-mapping and somatic touch practice to help the body thaw, reawaken, and return to safety at its own pace. Save this episode and come back to it whenever you need to offer yourself some gentle support.

Episode 3

mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Duration 39:28

What is somatic healing, really? In this episode, Britt cuts through the noise to bring clarity on what this work is and what it isn’t. From the misconception that somatic healing is about “feeling good” to the myth that discomfort means you’re doing it wrong, she breaks down the truths that often get lost in the mainstream. Through honest stories from her own journey and practical starting points, Britt shows how real healing is less about fixing yourself and more about expanding your capacity to be with all of life, both the light and the heavy. Tune in for tools to get started in your somatic healing journey and signs you’re starting to make progress!

You'll learn:

  • How to tell the difference between productive discomfort and retraumatization
  • Why “doing the work” might sometimes feel messy or even frustrating
  • The role of curiosity and gentleness in sustaining long-term healing
  • How to notice subtle signs of progress that aren’t always obvious at first

In this tender and honest first episode, Britt Piper shares what inspired her to create the Body-First Healing Podcast, and why she’s choosing to live life more slowly and intentionally these days.

Why You Can’t Think Your Way Out of Trauma: Embracing The Body’s Role in Healing

Episode 11

mercredi 29 octobre 2025 • Duration 38:52

Have you ever wondered why you can understand your trauma inside and out yet still feel stuck? In this episode, Britt explores one of the biggest misconceptions in the healing world: that talking about or even understanding trauma alone leads to recovery. Drawing from both science and lived experience, she breaks down why traditional talk therapy often falls short, and how true healing requires engaging the body’s innate wisdom. You’ll learn how trauma is stored in the nervous system, what happens in the brain when you’re triggered, and why regulation begins with safety, not strategy. Through Britt’s grounded guidance, this conversation offers a compassionate reminder that you don’t need to know more to heal—you need to feel safe enough to feel.

Sah D’Simone on Living from a Full-Body Yes, Grief as a Teacher & Serving with the Season

Episode 10

mercredi 22 octobre 2025 • Duration 48:33

What does it mean to live from a full-body “yes”? In this heartfelt and illuminating conversation, Britt and spiritual leader and global humanitarian Sah D’Simone explore what it looks like to lead life, relationships, and purpose through the felt wisdom of the body. Sah opens up about his evolving relationship with grief and pain, describing how embracing both has become central to his healing—and how somatic practice teaches us to move with emotion rather than away from it. Together, they unpack restorative justice and what repair truly requires: nuance, compassion, and nervous system capacity. They talk about how righteous anger can pave the way for our greatest purpose, how to support others in grief through presence instead of platitudes, and why post-traumatic growth isn’t about bypassing suffering but integrating it. This conversation is a grounded invitation to slow down, listen inward, and let the body guide you toward truth, repair, and connection.

Q&A: Healing Without Memories, Functional Freeze in Relationships, Rebuilding Safe Intimacy & New Parent Support

mercredi 15 octobre 2025 • Duration 47:07

Britt is offering grounded, compassionate guidance for those navigating some of the most tender parts of trauma recovery—when healing feels stuck, anniversaries bring up old pain, or safety in relationships and intimacy feels out of reach. She explains why remembering isn’t required for healing, how somatic work supports survivors of domestic violence and parents facing postnatal depletion, and what it means when nervous system practices stir more anxiety before calm.

It Was Never About the Alcohol: Healing the Pain Beneath Addiction

Episode 8

mercredi 8 octobre 2025 • Duration 47:23

In this episode, Britt opens her heart and shares her journey with alcohol, grief, and trauma, not as a story of failure but as a window into how early nervous system imprints shape the ways we self-soothe. She reflects on the moments that drove her to drink—childhood disconnection, the loss of her brother, the assault and its aftermath—and how alcohol became a way to mask unbearable pain. Britt walks us through her rock bottom experiences, from a jail cell to waking up ashamed after her wedding, and the turning points that led her to faith, somatic practices, and nervous system repair. 

She explains the science of addiction, how alcohol impacts the brain and body, and why addiction is not a moral failing but a survival response. She also shares what happened when, after seven years of abstinence, she cautiously reintroduced alcohol. Through it all, Britt shows how real recovery comes not from fighting the substance but from healing the root cause of addiction—our pain—and how compassion, community, and somatic healing open the way back to wholeness.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes conversation around sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and addiction. Please care for yourself as you listen, pause or skip if this feels overwhelming or unsafe for you.
