Ilene Smith, author of the book Moving Beyond Trauma: The Roadmap to Healing from Your Past and Living with Ease and Vitality, shares with us her work as a Somatic Therapist and her journey and healing through this modality. Ilene says, 'The issue is in the tissue. When we get stuck in a cycling narrative or emotion, we can't access our ability to feel safe and be engaged and connected with ourselves and others."

Today Lori explores how the body holds onto emotions to protect and keep us safe.
