Somatic Healing, Identity and Relationships with Megan Sherer | Episode 235

What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but expanding your capacity to live?

In this episode of Becoming More Me, I sit down with somatic therapist Megan Sherer to explore how nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and attachment patterns shape the way we show up in relationships and life.

Many women have done years of personal growth work, therapy, and self-development… yet still find themselves repeating the same patterns in relationships, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, or emotional burnout. We unpack why awareness alone isn’t always enough, and why the body holds the key to real transformation.

We also discuss how numbness, anger, and emotional activation are not problems to suppress, but signals from the nervous system that contain important information. You’ll also hear why healing can quietly become an identity, how attachment wounds influence romantic relationships, and how somatic work helps reconnect you with your body’s wisdom.

If you’ve ever thought, “I understand my patterns, so why am I still stuck?” , this conversation will give you a deeper perspective on identity change, emotional regulation, and true healing.
