How does trauma impact the “hidden spaces” of our body, making emotions and toxins deeply connected?

Welcome to today's episode, where we're diving into a fascinating frontier of healing that might just explain why traditional approaches to trauma and chronic pain sometimes fall short.

Whether you're a practitioner working with clients or patients or someone on your own healing journey, you've likely noticed that trauma and stress seem to leave their mark on the body in ways that talk therapy alone can't always reach. Maybe you've experienced or witnessed how emotional stress shows up as physical pain, or how physical treatments sometimes trigger unexpected emotional releases.

There's a reason for this, and one reason lives in a part of your body that, until recently, has been largely overlooked: fascia and extracellular matrix.

Don't worry if these terms are new to you – we're going to break down these complex systems into practical understanding that you can use. What's exciting is that this knowledge bridges the gap between physical and emotional healing.

To help us understand this topic, I’m joined by my friend Dr. Christine Schaffner, a board-certified naturopathic physician and an expert in treating complex chronic conditions from her clinic in Seattle, where she uses innovative therapies that focus on the body’s natural ability to heal.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

How trauma is stored in the fascia and extracellular matrix
How fascia impacts everything from chronic pain to emotional resilience
Why lymphatic health needs to be part of trauma recovery
Why a detox can cause emotional reactions
How to safely approach detox
Practical simple steps to support your body’s healing process that you can do at home.
