Ever wish healing felt less like reliving pain and more like coming home to your body? We sit down with writer, yoga therapeutics teacher, and group facilitator Jacqueline Jackson to explore how somatic practices, EMDR-inspired tools, and gentle shadow work help calm the amygdala, restore choice, and make safety feel real again. Jackie’s path runs through journalism, caregiving, cancer survivorship, and decades of yoga teaching, and she brings that lived credibility to a practical “healing menu” anyone can use.
We unpack the science in plain English: what happens when the fire alarm in your brain won’t shut off, why the prefrontal cortex goes offline, and how bilateral stimulation can help the hippocampus file distress into the past. Then we get hands-on with simple, portable tools—orientation, belly breathing, and the butterfly hug—that you can try in a few minutes without dredging up old stories. Along the way, we connect ancient wisdom and modern research: mudras that mirror EMDR’s left-right rhythm, the yoga idea that issues live in the tissues, and the heart center’s reminder that we are unbroken at our core.
Community plays a starring role. From music therapy in clinical settings to singing in a choir to reopen the throat after illness, we show how rhythm and voice move what words can’t. Jackie also introduces the Other Parents Like Me network, a compassionate space for caregivers practicing boundaries, gratitude, and evidence-based communication. The big payoff? Not a new self, but the remembered self—lighter, clearer, and more resourced. If you’ve been wary of the word “trauma,” consider this your permission slip to start with safety, agency, and small daily practices.
If this conversation helps, share it with someone who needs a gentler path, subscribe for more grounded tools, and leave a review to tell us which practice you’ll try first.
