Published On: Thu Apr 03 2025
Description: Hey, Heal Squad! This Throwback Thursday, we're diving into one of Maria’s most transformative healing experiences—with somatic trauma expert Brian Mahan. When Maria was going through one of the most difficult seasons of her life, Gabby Bernstein pointed her toward Brian’s work, and it changed everything. Brian breaks down the science and soul of somatic experiencing—a powerful trauma healing modality that helps you physically and emotionally process and release pain stored in the body. He shares how trauma isn’t just in your mind—it lives in your nervous system, and why talking about it isn’t always the solution. Learn how to repattern your reactions, create new neural pathways, and even rewire the way you think and feel about yourself. PLUS, Maria shares personal breakthroughs, why celebration matters, and the one small shift you can make today to start healing old wounds for good.
