5 things you must know about Trauma Healing
Episode 63
Monday, 29 December, 2025

Trauma Healing: It's more than just therapyFor most of my life, I thought being a "strong" South Asian woman meant carrying my burdens in silence. I thought if I just worked harder, ignored the tightness in my chest, and kept moving, the ghosts of the past would stay where they belonged.But our bodies don't forget.In this week’s episode, I’m being super vulnerable to talk about trauma—not as a clinical term, but as a lived experience. I'm sharing the moments I felt broken, the exhaustion of a constantly "on-edge" nervous system, and the realisation that "just talking about it" wasn't going to be enough to set me free.I’m walking you through my personal "healing map"—a journey that took me beyond the therapist’s couch and into the world of somatic and holistic recovery. I share what it really felt like to try:EMDR: Processing the memories that felt "stuck" in time.Craniosacral Therapy & Acupuncture: Finally learning how to let my body exhale and release the physical weight of stress.Hypnotherapy: Navigating the subconscious patterns we inherit from our culture and lineage.Tantra: Reclaiming my body as a place of pleasure and power, rather than just a place of survival.This isn't a "how-to" guide; it’s a my personal healing story. It’s an invitation for you to stop "coping" and start truly thriving. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, or like you’re carrying a weight that isn’t yours to hold, this episode is for you.RESOURCES FOR THE THERAPIES I MENTION IN THIS PODCAST EPISODEEMDR:https://emdraa.org/emdr-resources/https://www.traumatherapistinstitute.com/blog/Essential-Techniques-for-Effective-EMDR-ResourcingHYNOTHERAPY:https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/22676-hypnosisACUPUNCTURE:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532287/CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY:https://share.google/KQg4WcYwi1XZ8SPchTANTRA:https://somananda.org/tantra/Topics covered on this podcast: South Asian Mental Health, Somatic Healing, Intergenerational Trauma, Inner Child Work, EMDR Therapy, Tantra for Healing, Holistic Recovery, Nervous System Regulation, Feminist Podcast.
