Whether you're a trauma survivor or simply curious about the connection between mental and physical well-being, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on healing and empowerment. In this episode, Keean, a psychotherapist and life coach, dives deep into the impact of trauma on the nervous system and how it shapes behaviors like taking up less space and silencing our voices. He shares powerful insights on unlearning these patterns through self-compassion, reconnecting with the body, and embracing self-defense as a transformative tool. Together, we explore the journey from survival to thriving, emphasizing the importance of self-love, setting boundaries, and awakening dormant parts of ourselves.
