Your body is trying to tell you a story... but you keep ignoring it.

In this episode from the Align Podcast, Peter Levine PhD, founder of Somatic Experiencing, joins Aaron to explore how trauma lives in the body and how we can reclaim our innate healing ability. Peter also breaks down why talk therapy alone often isn’t enough and offers practical guidance for reconnecting with your body’s wisdom.
