What if healing isn’t just about fixing your mind—but learning to listen to your body as well?
In this episode of The Meaning of Men we're joined by trauma-informed somatic coach Brad Golphenee to unpack how men can reconnect with themselves through the body.
Brad has spent nearly two decades helping men move from emotional disconnection to embodied self-awareness through the power of somatic healing.
He shares how unresolved trauma, however subtle or forgotten, can live in the body for decades, shaping everything from our identity to relationships. We unpack how shame, an all too common emotion for men, often hides beneath the surface and how speaking it aloud in a safe environment can be a transformative release.
Through men's retreats, body-based practices, and group work, Brad's approach to men's mental health empowers them to release stored trauma, access their inner wisdom, and live with more purpose and freedom.
