IN THIS EPISODE – Sarah Honey sits down with Irene Lyon who shares her journey from exercise science and rehabilitation into the fields of Feldenkrais® and Somatic Experiencing®, revealing why understanding the nervous system became the missing piece in her work. Together, they explore how trauma is stored in the body, the distinctions between shock trauma, developmental trauma, and chronic stress, and why healing requires more than mindset work alone. Irene also unpacks freeze and shutdown responses, healthy versus toxic shame, the role of somatic awareness, and what a truly regulated nervous system looks like. This conversation offers a thoughtful and nuanced look at trauma healing, resilience, and the body’s remarkable capacity for change.
