Healing from the Core: Rewiring Trauma and Finding Internal Safety

Licensed psychotherapist Michelle Smith joins "High on Healthy" to discuss her trauma-informed, client-centric approach to therapy, emphasizing the importance of nervous system regulation and addressing the subconscious mind. Working virtually across Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Oregon, Smith utilizes modalities like EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and internal family systems to help clients struggling with feelings of being "stuck" due to trauma and chronic stress. The conversation explores how unresolved adverse childhood experiences and a chronic "fight or flight" response can manifest in daily life as a struggle to rest, disconnection in relationships, and dissociation, which is often misinterpreted as normal life busyness.
