In this follow-up to our conversation on divorce and healing, Dr. Meg Meeker sits down with therapist and integrative healer Dawn Wiggins to talk about what it really takes to recover from any kind of trauma — whether it’s divorce, loss, or years of emotional stress. Wiggins explains how trauma shapes our nervous system, thoughts, and relationships — and how real healing happens when we reconnect body, mind, and spirit. Together, they unpack practical ways to calm the body, release old pain, and create safety from the inside out.🧭 Key Takeaways<ul><li>Trauma lives in the body — and the nervous system needs to feel safe before real healing begins.</li><li>Being present (not perfect) helps children and loved ones feel secure.</li><li>Recognize and release negative beliefs that keep you stuck in fear or guilt.</li><li>Tools like EMDR, somatic therapy, and homeopathy can help integrate emotional healing.</li><li>Healing is a full-body process — involving your brain, your breath, and your belief system.</li><li>When you heal yourself, you break generational patterns and model resilience.</li></ul>About Dawn Wiggins<a href="https://mycoachdawn.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dawn Wiggins</a> is a licensed therapist, homeopath, and integrative healer who helps people recover from trauma and life transitions.
