In this enlightening and deeply resonant episode, host Elizabeth Tiglao Guss welcomes Landy Peak, a somatic experiencing trauma therapist and women's health occupational therapist from Colorado. She helps high-functioning women stop shape-shifting, start listening to their bodies, and finally live from deep regulation and unapologetic truth. Her work isn’t about fixing—it’s about freeing the version of you who no longer has to perform to belong.Landy shares her insights on the invisible impact of trauma, particularly in women who are childless by chance, not by choice. Through their conversation, listeners learn about the body's response to trauma, the concept of 'glitches' in the nervous system, and practical tools to signal safety and foster healing. They also explore the concept of 'shape shifting,' the importance of grief processing, and how to build a supportive community. Landy introduces her mentorship program, Magnetic HER, and emphasizes the significance of embodied experiences over mere cognitive learning for true healing.Introduction and Guest WelcomeGuest Introduction and BackgroundPersonal Connection and High Altitude ConcernsDiving into Trauma and Somatic TherapyUnderstanding Trauma ResponsesNervous System and Trauma GlitchesDefining Trauma and Nervous System ReactionsProcessing Trauma Through the BodyChallenges in Identifying Body ResponsesStrategies and Coping MechanismsInternal Family Systems and AcceptanceUnderstanding Your Personal Belief SystemThe Impact of Emotional ExpressionCoping Mechanisms in Medical SituationsThe Freeze Response and DisconnectionReconnecting with Your Body and EmotionsThe Practice of Self-ReassuranceShape Shifting and Proving Self-WorthChallenging Societal Beliefs and IdentityNavigating Grief and Self-DiscoveryPractical Tools for Nervous System RegulationIntroducing Magnetic HERConclusion and Contact InformationConnect with Lady:https://www.instagram.com/landy_peek/https://www.facebook.com/landy.peek/Uncover the hidden survival pattern your body has been running on autopilothttps://www.landypeek.com/magneticbodycodeConnect with Elizabeth: IG: @bychanceavenueStay connected & up to date with all things By ChanceWant to share your story?
