In WHEN THE BODY SPEAKS, Liz explains that somatic healing focuses on the body’s internal sensory awareness and its role in processing trauma. It’s a “bottom-up” approach that prioritizes nervous system regulation—helping the body move from a state of defense (fight, flight, freeze) to one of safety and connection. Liz’s work reframes trauma as a physiological response, not a personal failure, and her book offers accessible exercises to support healing and resilience.
