Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky · Laverne Cox · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

And I was like, the universe is saying something.

So I reached out to this woman after the barbecue, got the name of her therapist, and she thought that she might not have space for me, but she did.

And I went to her, and it's somatic therapy, and somatic just means the body.

And she said it's the only thing that works.

Well, the idea of science is that trauma lives in the body, and this therapeutic modality is based in the community resiliency model.

That was developed by the Trauma Research Institute, Community Resiliency Model, or CRIM.

And it consists of six tools that you can look.

If you download the iChill app, you can take a look at those tools.

But they're all about getting in touch with what's going on in your body and identifying if there's anxiety, if there's stress, if there's something where in our bodies we feel it, where it could be neutral or positive.

And then how do we, if there's something maladaptive there, how do we create new neural pathways of resilience within our nervous systems to build resilience against the trauma?

Because certain things are hardwired in our bodies that we don't understand.

aren't even aware of sometimes.

So your impulse to go to what you're feeling, go to listening to your body, learning how to listen to your body is crucially important, I think,

across the board because there's really great research that what's going on in our bodies, if there is, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris calls it high doses of adversity that could happen in childhood.

And she has a great TED talk where she talks about this.

She was a Surgeon General of California for a while.

And when she graduated from medical school, she wanted to serve under

served communities in the San Francisco area and discovered that a lot of these kids from, you know, black and brown kids had high levels of adversity and that they also had asthma and diabetes and that they, and there was, she found there was a correlation.

And then she found there was actual data that suggested that people with high levels of adversity in childhood were more prone to diabetes, to asthma and to negative health outcomes and other aspects beyond mental health.

later in life if those levels of adversity weren't dealt with.
