✨ Understanding and Healing the Mother Wound with Nousha Salimi

Описание: Understanding and Healing the Mother Wound | Somatic Healing & Nervous System Repair
The Hanged Woman Podcast with Nousha Salimi

In this episode of The Hanged Woman Podcast, host Julienne Irons begins a new arc exploring the Mother Wound, not through blame or bypassing, but through compassion, embodiment, and understanding how early attachment shapes the nervous system.
Somatic trauma therapist and integrative nutrition health coach Nousha Salimi shares how the Mother Wound lives in the body, influencing our sense of safety, belonging, self-worth, and connection in adulthood. Together, they explore how early bonding, emotional rupture, and unmet needs become learned patterns — and how those patterns can be gently healed through somatic awareness and nervous system regulation.
This conversation offers practical, body-based tools for healing the Mother Wound, including simple somatic practices to support regulation, reconnection, and internal safety. It also holds space for the complex emotions many people feel toward their mothers — grief, anger, love, confusion — without requiring blame or forgiveness before the body is ready.
✨ If you’re navigating attachment wounds, abandonment, nervous system dysregulation, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode offers grounded, compassionate guidance to begin healing from the inside out.
