Why You Can’t Just “Release” Trauma

Regulate & Rewire: An Anxiety & Depression Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the common phrase “releasing trauma” and what it really means. While many people think trauma can be pushed out of the body, healing is much more about creating safety within the body so it can transform naturally. We explore the layers of trauma healing—physical, emotional, psychological, and relational—and why true healing requires a holistic approach.

Here's the 3 takeaways:

1. Trauma isn't something you can force out – Healing is not about "releasing" or "getting rid" of trauma, but creating safety in the body so it can naturally transform.
2. Trauma healing happens in layers – It affects the physical, emotional, psychological, and relational aspects of your life, so healing requires a multi-faceted approach.
3. Healing is about building capacity – The goal is to increase your ability to be with difficult emotions and sensations, rather than trying to push them away.
