Brittany Piper: Break free from survival mode and reclaim your life.

episode 162.

I’m so excited for you to hear today’s conversation with Brittany Piper. Brittany is a speaker, author, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, the voice behind the wildly popular @healwithbritt account over on Instagram, and an expert in sexual violence prevention and trauma-informed care.

Her book, Body-First Healing, is a science-backed roadmap for trauma recovery and nervous system regulation. She teaches readers how to break free from survival mode and reclaim their lives using simple yet effective somatic practices.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about…

• How the nervous system can become stuck in a stress response cycle

• What trauma looks like

• How your body remembers trauma even when your mind doesn’t

• What it looks like to armor up when a threat is present

• The importance of somatic completion

• How Brittany's nervous system responded during and after a sexual assault

• How our armor can be cloaked as a diagnosis

• The impact childhood wounds have on our nervous system

• What you can do when anxious to shift your nervous system back into a ventral state of calm

...and so much more.
