Sound Therapy Network

In this episode of the Sound Therapy Network Podcast, we explore the powerful practice of body mapping, a foundational element of Somatic Sound Therapy™. Body mapping helps us understand how the body stores emotions, memories, and stress patterns. When we map these sensations and energetic imprints, we gain insight into what the body has been holding and how sound and vibration can release it. Whether you’re a sound therapy practitioner, energy healer, or client that is simply curious about the connection between the body and emotional healing, this episode will deepen your understanding of why body mapping is such an essential tool in trauma-informed and somatic work. In This Episode, We Discuss: What body mapping is and how it reveals where emotions are stored in the body Why Somatic Sound Therapy™ uses body mapping as a core step in every session How mapping sensations and energy blocks helps guide your sound healing sessions The connection between nervous system regulation, sound, and emotional release Why understanding the body’s emotional landscape makes you a more effective and trauma-informed facilitator Key Takeaways The body holds a “map” of our emotional history, sound can help dissolve what is no longer serving us Integrating body mapping into your sound therapy practice allows for deeper, more intentional healing. Somatic awareness helps clients reconnect with their bodies, process stored trauma, and feel safe in their systems again. Somatic Sound Therapy™ is not just heard, it’s felt. It is a tool for embodied transformation.

Alchemizing Trauma with Tracy, Creator of Trauma Rock Stars In this deeply moving episode of the Sound Therapy Network Podcast, I sit down with Tracy, the inspiring creator of Trauma Rock Stars. Tracy shares her courageous and vulnerable story of being the sole survivor of a devastating car crash where she lost two cousins and sustained severe burns on the majority of her body. Not long after, she endured the pain of being drugged and assaulted at a high school party. For years, Tracy suppressed these traumatic experiences, until meditation, journaling, and inner child healing opened the door to processing her pain. Her healing journey eventually led her to explore MDMA-assisted therapy with a clinical therapist, which became a powerful tool in her transformation. Today, Tracy has alchemized her experiences into a movement, Trauma Rock Stars, a safe space where people can share their suppressed stories, find community, and reclaim their voices. Tune in to hear Tracy’s story of resilience, healing, and turning unimaginable pain into purpose.
