Yeah\u2026 that\u2019s not just stress. It\u2019s your body holding onto stories it never got to finish, the unprocessed stuff we call trauma. In this powerful and personal conversation, Dr. Shiroko Sokitch and I get into how emotional wounds can quietly shape your physical health, and how real healing starts when you finally listen to what your body\u2019s been trying to say. &amp;nbsp; Dr. Shiroko spent years in emergency medicine before following her intuition into acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, blending Western science with deep emotional and spiritual healing. She shares incredible stories of patients who\u2019ve transformed their lives by healing the emotions behind their symptoms. You\u2019ll learn how simple practices like visualization, acupuncture, and genuine self-compassion can help you reconnect with your body in ways that feel surprisingly doable. &amp;nbsp; If you\u2019ve ever wondered why your shoulders ache when life feels heavy, or why your energy crashes after emotional stress, this episode is going to hit home. It\u2019s full of heart, hope, and hands-on healing wisdom you can actually use \u2014 no fluff, just real talk about what it means to feel whole again. &amp;nbsp; P.S.
