175. Somatic Oscillation: How to Repattern Trauma and Build Self-Trust with Marcia Bonato Warren
Episode 159
Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
How does your body hold your culture, your identity, and your story? ✨ In this week's episode of Holistic Inner Balance, we are joined by the incredible Marcia Bonato Warren for a deeply grounding conversation on culture, identity, and the body. Marcia Bonato Warren is a licensed somatic counselor, teacher, and author who integrates social justice, Indigenous ways of knowing, and somatic psychology into her practice. Holding a Master’s degree in Somatic Counseling from Naropa University, her work focuses on helping individuals explore their cultural identities, repattern trauma, and embrace embodied code switching as a proactive strength. From handling unexpected technological glitches in real time to exploring how our family lineages shape our nervous system responses, Marcia teaches us how to move with life's unpredictability rather than fight it. In this episode, we explore: Embodied Code-Switching®: Moving beyond language to understand how our bodies physically adapt and shift across different cultural contexts. The Three Levels of Somatic Awareness: Unpacking social, emotional, and environmental awareness—and how architecture and online spaces inform how we show up. Oscillation & Grounding: How shifting your attention between internal sensations and external environments helps repattern trauma and build true self-trust. Navigating the Age of AI: Cultivating inner discernment and body-based knowing when external reality feels questioned or gaslit. Your body isn't just a vehicle—it's a rich landscape holding your ancestral wisdom, your boundaries, and your truth. 👉 Be sure to check out Marcia’s new book, "Movement and Identity," and follow her on social media https://www.instagram.com/marciabonatowarren/ to dive deeper into her somatic work! 🌟 --- Additional Resources: 🤔 QUIZ: What Type of Anxiety Do You Deal With? 👉 Discover your Ayurveda mind-body constitution so you can work to balance it and optimize your health with this dosha quiz 💡Join Dr. Nicole's membership: The Holistic Wellness Collective 👉Learn more about Hadlee’s Happy Healthy Habits Coaching Program, a step-by-step program you've been searching for to actually follow through on your health and wellness goals 👉 Order Supplements Here 📖 Buy the book: PANIC PROOF: The New Holistic Solution to End Your Anxiety Forever 💻 Check out the available online courses: Ayurveda: The Key to Your Success Mapping Out Your Benzo Taper 💕 Stay connected with us: Dr. Nicole on Instagram Happy Healthy Hadlee on Instagram Dr. Nicole Cain, ND MA is a pioneer in integrative approaches for mental and emotional wellness.
