Summary

Join Rachael Clinton Chen for the conclusion of her three-part series, where she offers a candid and heartfelt look at her journey of holistic healing from complex PTSD and anxiety. In this final episode, Rachael explores the surprising aspects of trauma recovery, including how trauma manifests in the body and the often unpredictable nature of the healing process.

Building on her previous discussions about the mental and spiritual impacts of trauma, Rachael now turns her focus to the physical aspects of healing. She shares insights from her own experiences with various healing modalities, highlighting what has been effective for her. While this episode is not intended as medical advice, we hope the central message is clear: healing is a continuous journey, full of both challenges and progress, and sometimes requiring revisiting old wounds.

We hope this series of heart-to-heart conversations has brought you hope, made you laugh, made you think, and most of all made you feel like you’re not alone.

Thank you for taking this journey with us. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this series—please email us at [email protected] with your feedback!

0:00.0	Good people with good bodies. Welcome. I'm Rachel Clinton Chen, co-host of the Allender Center podcast.
0:11.8	This episode is a little bit different from what you're used to hearing from us. Throughout the summer,
0:16.6	we're going to mix things up with a handful of episodes where I get to share some personal insights from my own healing journey and the things I never expected when healing from trauma.
0:25.9	From the heart-wrenching lows to the moment so absurd they bring laughter and every

0:32.6	My healing journey from anxiety and complex PTSD has been a winding road.
0:38.3	It's one that I'm still traveling on.

0:48.3	I hope these conversations bring you hope,

1:22.5	that we're whole people and trauma disorders our brains, our bodies, our spirits, our relationships,
1:26.8	and communities.
1:32.3	We're going to honor that trauma is really the way in which our personhood bears witness to the horror, suffering, heartache of the world in which we live, that we're individuals and we're
1:37.6	part of a collective. And we're going to do the good work of holding the both end of our beauty
1:42.2	and our brokenness. And again, honoring that even in
