In this episode of The Conscious Man 7 Podcast, we sit down with licensed psychotherapist and trauma specialist Alisa Gracheva to explore how trauma lives in the body, why talk therapy alone often fails, and how somatic healing, EMDR, and psychedelic-assisted therapy can unlock deep and lasting transformation. We dive into: What trauma really is (and what it isn’t) How the nervous system stores unresolved experiences Psychedelic-assisted therapy and responsible healing Somatic approaches that restore safety in the body Why consciousness and spirituality matter in trauma recovery This is a grounded, honest conversation about healing, without hype, dogma, or shortcuts. This episode is for those who are seeking alternatives to mainstream forms of healing fears and traumas and want to learn more about alternative forms of healing like psychedelic-assisted therapy. ✨ Join the Community, support us and get ad-free episodes + exclusive content on Patreon or Locals: πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/theconsciousman7podcast πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Locals - https://theconsciousman7.locals.com/ 🌐 Connect with Alisa via any of the links below: Website - https://since.life/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alisa_art/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisa-gracheva-61081670/ Psychology Today - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/alisa-gracheva-coral-springs-fl/1109186 Book - Walking with Spirit - https://amzn.to/45GcSD4 🌐 Connect with me via any of the links below: Fountain - https://fountain.fm/show/1Tgn3yHym3UmGUQecY8B Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/todd.cave.790 Instagram - @adriano_246 - https://www.instagram.com/adriano_246/ @theconsciousman7podcast - https://www.instagram.com/theconsciousman7podcast/ Twitter/X… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-conscious-man-7-podcast-6925775/episodes/episode-117-trauma-lives-in-the-body-psychedelics-somatic-healing-consciousness-alisa-gracheva/transcription-requests` β€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-conscious-man-7-podcast-6925775/episode-117-trauma-lives-in-the-body-psychedelics-somatic-healing-consciousness-alisa-gracheva.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
