Ep 62: Adult Child of Alcoholics: Releasing trauma stored in the body with Erin

The Beautiful Grit

In this week’s episode Gwen is coaching Erin who has the intention to honor her past but let go and move forward. Gwen guides Erin from the logic of her mind into the wisdom of her body. You’ll hear Erin’s story of going from high functioning student and athlete to disabled with a chronic health condition. As a child Erin had to keep a tight grip on her mind, time, tasks, planning, and strategizing in order to keep homeostasis as the daughter of an alcoholic mother. After college, Erin’s plan of working in a law firm while going to law school abruptly ended when she was diagnosed with a chronic health condition that worsened. In the episode Erin allows me to guide her through energy work, shadow work, inner child healing, and breathwork, into a calmer, lighter, clearer state where she’s able to hear and trust her higher self.
