What if your body isn’t broken… it’s protecting you?
After trauma, many people feel disconnected from their bodies. Touch can feel overwhelming. Pleasure can feel distant. And safety can feel like something that belongs to other people.
In this masterclass replay with trauma recovery coach Arci Grey, we explore how to begin rebuilding trust with your body through gentle, guided nervous system practices you can follow along with.
This episode includes grounding exercises, breathwork, and simple somatic tools designed to help you reconnect with yourself without forcing or pushing past your edges.
We also talk about shame, dissociation, and why your body’s responses during trauma don’t mean what you may have feared they meant.
Healing doesn’t happen by overriding your body.
It happens by learning to feel safe inside it again.
You are not broken.
And you don’t have to rush.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why safety must come before pleasure
