  • Healing Emotional Wounds Without Reliving Trauma – Sandee Byrd

    Healing Emotional Wounds Without Reliving Trauma – Sandee Byrd
    Jul 9 2025
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Healing emotional wounds without reliving trauma is not only possible - it's powerful. Recently, I was confronted with a deep emotional trigger. Instead of suppressing the trauma, I choose to embody the feeling- breathing, inviting in the feelings, moving through the feelings, and letting the feelings pass through me like a wave. That choice reminded me: we don't always have to sit in the pain we can embody the pain and then let it go. Sometimes, healing looks like presence, not the past. On this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, the host will dive into techniques for fostering emotional healing and building resilience- without reopening old wounds. From somatic practices to nervous system regulation and reframing thought patterns, we'll explore tools that help you rise, not retraumatize.
