Somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and healing trauma with Morenike Olorunnisomo
In this episode, Claire and Howard kick things off by reflecting on how overscheduling can be a coping mechanism—one that keeps us busy but not necessarily regulated.
We then welcome Morenike Olorunnisomo, a Dallas-based psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma, somatic therapy, and the mind-body connection. Morenike shares insights on the difference between PTSD and complex PTSD, particularly how trauma can shape a person’s sense of self from birth.
We explore the essential role of nervous system regulation in healing, how emotions serve as valuable information, and how the body naturally releases stored trauma through tears, shaking, and other somatic responses. Morenike also discusses why safety is the foundation of trauma recovery and how we can support ourselves and others in that process.
Join us for a deep, compassionate conversation on the body’s wisdom and the power of healing in safe, supportive spaces.
