🎙️ New Episode: Healing Trauma Takes More Than Talk

What does it really take to heal trauma?

In this episode of Trauma, Psychedelics & Buddhism, I sit down with trauma therapist Deborah Sweet to explore why understanding our trauma is important—but often isn’t enough to transform it.

Trauma doesn’t live only in the story we tell. It can become embedded in our nervous system, bodies, emotions, relationships, and habitual responses. That’s why healing often requires tools and experiences that go beyond traditional talk therapy.

Deborah and I discuss the importance of helping people experience something different—not simply understand why they feel the way they do. We explore practical and experiential approaches that can help people regulate their nervous systems, work with traumatic activation, build greater capacity, and create new pathways toward healing.

✨ We explore:

• Why insight alone may not resolve trauma

• The importance of body- and nervous-system-based tools

• Moving from talking about trauma to actively working with it

• Helping clients develop resources they can use outside the therapy room

• How experiential approaches can support deeper and more lasting change

If you’re a therapist—or someone on your own healing journey—this conversation is an invitation to think beyond “What happened?” and toward “What tools can help the system heal now?”
