[Ai assist:] Licensed somatic psychotherapist and integrative hypnotherapist Melanie Smithson relates how emotional trauma is stored within the physical body and how we can truly release it.

Melanie shares insights from over 30 years of practice blending somatic psychotherapy, the Sedona Method, and Life Between Lives hypnotherapy (trained directly by Michael Newton). We discuss the limitations of traditional talk therapy loops, how past-life memories and bodily contractions reveal core wounds, and practical movement techniques—from conscious groaning to shaking—that help foster wellbeing and live with less anxiety.
