Healing Beyond Therapy: The Somatic Approach

by | Jun 9, 2025

Hosted by Keri Ford

In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri Ford dives into the often-misunderstood world of healing and mental health – specifically, what the industry gets wrong. From the limits of talk therapy to the overuse of trauma buzzwords, she breaks down why somatic work is the missing piece for real transformation. You’ll hear why “trauma-informed” isn’t enough, how to spot trained practitioners, and how true healing starts with permission, not perfection. It’s candid, eye-opening, and packed with insights for growth-driven women ready to deepen their personal evolution.
