Audrey Burke on Sensitivity, Somatic Healing & Becoming an Island of Coherence
Manage episode 479841591 series 3655546
In this episode of Pathways, I sit down with somatic practitioner Audrey Burke for a powerful conversation on what it means to be a highly sensitive person in a world that often feels too loud, too fast, and too much. Audrey shares her personal healing journey—from a mysterious health collapse in Italy to discovering the profound impact of touch-based trauma healing and nervous system regulation.
We explore what “islands of coherence” are (and how to become one), the difference between trauma and sensitivity, the power of co-regulation, and why subtle, somatic practices can create life-changing shifts.
Whether you identify as highly sensitive, work with trauma, or are just curious about how the body holds—and heals—deep experience, this episode offers practical insights and heartfelt wisdom.
Topics We Cover:
- Audrey’s healing journey and the role of somatic therapy
- What it really means to be highly sensitive
- The science and soul of co-regulation
- How to reduce energetic overwhelm in daily life
- “Islands of coherence” and why the world needs more of them
- Tools to find your center and regulate your nervous system
