What if your anxiety isn’t just in your mind, but in your body?

Why do certain pains never fully go away?

Can tiny movements actually release stored trauma?

What if your body isn’t broken but just protective?

 

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with somatic healing expert Liz Tenuto to explore how emotional stress and trauma live in the body, and how to safely release it.

 

Liz explains that “soma” means body, and somatic healing focuses on small, intentional micro-movements that help regulate the nervous system. Unlike traditional workouts or even yoga, somatics is about restoring agency, reconnecting the mind and body so you feel safe inside yourself again.

 

They discuss how unprocessed stress can show up as jaw tension, tight hips, gut issues, panic attacks, and chronic pain. Liz breaks down nervous system responses like fight, flight, freeze, and dissociation, and explains why shaking, or neurogenic tremors, can actually be the body completing a stress cycle.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:
How trauma gets stored physically in the body.
Why jaw, neck, and hips hold stress.
What the freeze response actually feels like.
How to calm panic through simple body-based tools.
The difference between nervous system safety and intensity.
Why healing is about regulation, not perfection.

 

This episode is a reminder that your body is always trying to protect you - and with the right tools, you can teach it that it’s safe again.
