Episode 243 - Irene Lyon | The Hard Truth About Healing Trauma

In this honest and unfiltered conversation with Irene Lyon, we explore why so many trauma healing efforts are falling short, and why that isn’t entirely the fault of the individual. From the bastardization of nervous system language to how the obsession with "staying calm" often misses the point, we unpack the uncomfortable truths about what meaningful healing really involves. We dig into how functional freeze keeps you locked in patterns of managing symptoms rather than building true capacity, why early developmental trauma is the missing link most people overlook, and how the explosion of online nervous system content is creating more confusion than progress. Real nervous system work takes time, and the relationship between your physiology, psychology, and environment is far more complex than anything an Instagram post can capture. If you’re done with quick fixes and want to understand the deeper path to lasting change, this conversation goes where most don’t.
