Body-First Healing Podcast Somatic Healing Isn’t a Trend: Why It’s Growing & How to Practice It Safely
If it feels like everyone is talking about somatic healing and nervous system regulation right now, you are not wrong. In this episode, Britt explores why this work is expanding so rapidly and what it actually means beyond the buzzwords. She unpacks the science of how trauma and chronic stress live in the body, why insight alone often is not enough to create lasting change, and how somatic work helps the nervous system experience safety in the present. Britt also shares guidance for those exploring somatic healing for their own lives or considering a professional path in this field, along with what to look for in a practitioner or training. Tune in to cut through the noise around somatic healing and better understand why and how this work has changed so many lives.
Enrollment for the next round of the Somatic Practitioner Training at the Body First Healing Institute begins in July 2026, with enrollment open March 23 through April 1. Spots are intentionally limited to support depth and supervision within the cohort.
