Summary

Why does healing still feel out of reach for so many of us, even after years of insight and therapy? Because just understanding our past, while important, does not change what’s happening in our nervous system. Real healing begins when we work with our nervous system and parts to show them that we’re safe now. In this episode, Sarah explains why insight alone cannot resolve trauma and why healing must happen through gradual, tolerable action.
