Rabbit Hole Reflections with Lisa
Rabbit Hole Reflections with Lisa Van Slyke shares soulful, unfiltered conversations where pain, power, and purpose intersect.
Each week, Lisa (@TheLisaV) — author, speaker, and witness to transformation — invites a guest to share their real, lived story of reckoning, unraveling, and return. These are the moments most people hide — but here, we speak them out loud.
Together, we follow each guest down the rabbit hole of experience to honor the wisdom in every voice, and remember that when we speak our truth, we help heal ourselves and each other.

Rabbit Hole Reflections with Lisa
🔥 THE BODY NEVER FORGETS | Chronic Pain & Somatic Healing w/ Olivia Caggiano | Rabbit Hole Reflections #14
She was dismissed, misdiagnosed, and told the pain was in her head—until she reclaimed her body, her voice, and her power.
From chronic pain and medical gaslighting to healing and embodiment—this is Olivia Caggiano’s trauma‑informed recovery story.
Your body remembers everything—even the things your mind tries to forget. Trauma lingers long after the event, and real healing starts when we stop trying to fix and start learning to feel.
In this episode of #RabbitHoleReflections, Olivia shares eight years of chronic illness, misdiagnosis, and systemic dismissal. By listening to the wisdom in her pain, she reclaimed her body and now guides others to do the same.
INSIDE THIS EPISODE • How childhood trauma and abuse shaped her early health struggles
• Medical dismissal and misdiagnosis (fibromyalgia, POTS)
• Eight years of symptoms: fibromyalgia, POTS, thyroid dysfunction, chronic back pain
• Why 80% of fibromyalgia sufferers have a history of trauma
• Reconnecting with her body through yoga philosophy and spiritual practice
• Using Reiki and energy medicine to heal
• Moving from symptom management to somatic awareness
• Becoming pain‑free and guiding others on their path
KEY INSIGHT
“Your body isn’t betraying you—it’s protecting you. Once I understood my chronic pain was my body trying to keep me safe, everything changed.” — Olivia Caggiano
