As our first guest on the Bolton Inc Effect, Terri Ewart shares her journey from personal trauma to becoming a somatic healer who helps others navigate their painful experiences with compassion and presence.
• Complex PTSD from in-utero experiences shaped Terri's feelings of being "broken" and not belonging for much of her life
• Somatic healing addresses trauma physically embedded in our fascia and body, working beyond what talk therapy alone can achieve
• Early shame around pleasure and sexuality can create lasting patterns that affect adult relationships
• Safety is crucial for healing trauma—our bodies need to feel safe enough to release long-held tension patterns
• Internal Family Systems therapy helps identify different "parts" of ourselves that need compassion and understanding
• Menopause represents not just physical change but an opportunity for wisdom, clarity and renewed purpose
• Our physical ailments and pain often connect directly to unresolved trauma and emotional experiences
• Sex education should start much earlier and focus on body autonomy, agency, and the birthright of pleasure
