Ep.8 Resilience in Action: Using Somatic Practices to Reclaim Safety with Anni Johnston

In this interview with Anni Johnston, we explore how somatic practices, from simple breathing techniques to dance therapy, can be powerful pathways to heal attachment wounds. Anni is a trauma and somatic therapist turned resilience mentor, we brought her on to discuss why healing doesn’t just happen in the mind—it requires getting into the body.

Anni shares approachable take-home tips and a guided practice in how reconnecting to our physical selves in the present moment can restore safety, trust, and build peace, a critical piece of healing early attachment ruptures.

Key Takeaways

Somatic healing is essential for repairing attachment wounds because the body remembers what the mind didn't have the capacity to understand.
Somatic practices create safety, regulation, and trust in the nervous system.
Community healing is pivotal for resilience and transformation.
Daily reflection and mindfulness practice, like Anni’s Building Resilience Journal, can strengthen inner resources so you can grow through what you go through.
