You’ve unpacked your story, processed your thoughts, maybe even spent years in therapy—but something still feels stuck. Why? Because healing doesn’t stop at the mind.

In this episode of Healing Beyond the Symptoms, Dr. Leah Hahn D.C., chiropractor and functional wellness doctor at Body in Balance Wellness Center in Golden, CO, explores the powerful link between the mind, the nervous system, and the body’s patterns of holding stress and trauma.

Dr. Hahn explains how tension in the body—whether in the jaw, neck, hips, or spine—often reflects unresolved emotional and physiological experiences. She shares how these “holding patterns” create persistent feelings like anxiety, overwhelm, or disconnection even after years of mental work.

You’ll also learn how nervous system-focused care, like Network Spinal, helps the body safely release stored stress without re-traumatization—creating more calm, confidence, and adaptability.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why therapy can feel incomplete without including the body
• How emotional tension shows up as physical holding patterns
• The five core tension patterns and what emotions they represent
• Why “a calm body equals a calm mind”
• How Network Spinal care repatterns the nervous system for lasting peace
