#94 Healing the Whole Body Through Brainspotting with Amie Woolsey

In today’s episode of Choosing To Stay After Infidelity and Betrayal, we’re sharing a special recording from our monthly Road to Recovery webinar, where Hali sits down with Amie Woolsey to discuss the vital role of somatic healing after betrayal—for both partners.

Betrayal trauma doesn’t just affect the mind; it lives in the body. Understanding how trauma is stored physically is essential to the healing process, yet it’s often overlooked. In this conversation, we explore various healing modalities, with a deep dive into the power of brainspotting—a transformative tool for processing painful experiences and releasing stored trauma.

🔹 Why somatic healing is crucial for both the betrayed and the one who acted out🔹 The impact of trauma on the nervous system and physical body🔹 How unprocessed betrayal trauma can manifest in physical symptoms🔹 An introduction to brainspotting and how it helps release stored trauma🔹 Other powerful body-based healing modalities to support recovery

If you’ve been struggling to fully process your emotions or feel stuck in your healing journey, this episode will provide valuable insights into how your body plays a key role in recovery.
