Trauma, Trust, and the Wild Wisdom of the Body

What happens when the body begins to unravel... not in theory, but in real time?

In this unfiltered moment from the Body Transformation Retreat, Chantelle Raven invites you into a deeply personal process. What began as physical pain became a gateway into grief, trauma, and the kind of somatic release most practitioners only read about.

You’ll hear what it looks like to stay present through discomfort, how collapse can become a sacred opening, and why healing isn’t always neat or graceful. It's messy, real, and often arrives through sensation not strategy.

This is a powerful teaching moment for anyone who holds space for others… or is learning how to hold space for themselves.

What’s inside:

 • When physical symptoms are portals, not problems

• Why rage is often a familiar cover for grief

• The healing power of letting yourself collapse

• How trauma releases when we stop managing it

• Why true safety in the body is the foundation of real transformation

• The somatic difference between retraumatizing and integrating

• The role of parents, pain, and returning what’s not ours

• The sacred gold found in what feels most uncomfortable

If you're a practitioner, coach, or facilitator or simply someone learning to stay with the uncomfortable, this episode will meet you at your edges.

Memorable quotes from this episode:

“It’s the layers underneath the reaction that hold the root cause.”

“The fear of re-traumatization comes from not understanding the power of integration.”

“Where you feel most uncomfortable — that’s where the gold is.”
