About This Episode

What if healing isn’t just physical?

In this deeply thought-provoking episode, Dr. Ayla Wolf sits down with somatic practitioner and Inner Space Technique regression therapist Bre Hibbs to explore the fascinating relationship between trauma, the nervous system, body memory, and healing beyond the physical body.

Together, they discuss the idea that our bodies may store not only physical trauma, but also emotional experiences, subconscious conditioning, stress patterns, and even energetic imprints that continue influencing our health, behavior, pain, and recovery long after an event has passed. 

The conversation explores:

  •  How trauma can become “stored” in the body 
  •  The connection between chronic pain and emotional stress 
  •  Somatic awareness and nervous system regulation 
  •  Dissociation and feeling disconnected from the body 
  •  Why some people remain “stuck” despite trying many therapies 
  •  The role of subconscious conditioning in health and behavior 
  •  Meditation, energy awareness, and subtle body practices 
  •  How slowing down and reconnecting with the body may support healing 

Bre also shares insights from her work in somatic healing, meditation-based regression therapy, and yoga, including practical ways people can begin developing a deeper awareness of their own body and nervous system.

This episode offers a compassionate and expansive perspective on healing—one that bridges neuroscience, somatics, consciousness, and the wisdom of the body.

Bre Hibbs: 00:00 That invitation for people to enter different parts of themselves and to let the body, the physical body, the muscles, you know, the ligaments, the connective tissue to kind of highlight either what's stuck or what feels really good, or just what wants or needs a couple, like you said, a couple rounds of breath. Like you can just stay in this shape that it doesn't have a name. That's usually also the way I lead. It's like I'm not going to prescribe every single pose by name. It's like you're going to find something that feels good or necessary in your body and then, you know, pause there. It's going to look different than your neighbors.
