The Missing Piece in Trauma Healing

Описание: 👉🏼In this episode, I sit down with Julie Ray, BS.Ed, M.Ed, LMT—a myofascial release therapist whose work lives at the intersection of the body, the nervous system, and deep emotional healing.

And y’all… this is not a “relaxing massage” conversation. 👀

Julie shares her own midlife reinvention—from a career in education to massage therapy to advanced myofascial release—and how working with the body can unlock trauma, survival patterns, and long-held emotional stories we didn’t even realize we were carrying.

We talk about:

👉🏼 How trauma gets stored in the body (and why talking alone isn’t always enough)

👉🏼 Myofascial release, breathwork, and nervous system regulation

👉🏼 Why healing doesn’t have to include a dramatic breakdown or forced catharsis

👉🏼 What it actually looks like when the body starts to “unwind”

👉🏼 How body-based work can expand your window of tolerance and help you feel safe again

We also dig into the idea that the body keeps the receipts (yes, including birth trauma, injuries, surgeries, and emotional shutdowns) and how modalities like myofascial release meet you exactly where you are.

If you’ve ever felt:

👉🏼 Stuck in fight-or-flight

👉🏼 Disconnected from your body

👉🏼 Exhausted from “managing” your life

👉🏼 Curious but skeptical about body-based therapy

…this conversation is for you.

✨ This episode pairs especially well with talk therapy, EMDR, and trauma-informed approaches for anyone in the messy middle of midlife, grief, divorce, or identity reconstruction.

Pull up a chair. Let your shoulders drop.

And maybe notice what your body is doing while you listen. 💜
