Trauma Work Belongs to All of US: Not Just Clients

Healing spaces are only as safe as the nervous systems holding them.

Healing is relational—it flows both ways.

In Episode 13 of Beyond the Spot, Tracy Gantlin-Monroy speaks to clinicians, healers, and space holders about why trauma work belongs to all of us—not just clients.

Through somatic wisdom, Brainspotting, and lived experience, Tracy unpacks how unprocessed trauma and unnoticed limbic countertransference can leak into the therapy room. She offers reflections for both clinicians and clients on how survival mode, silence, or avoidance can block healing—and how awareness, presence, and nervous system work open the door to resonance.

This episode invites us to unlearn what gets in the way of presence, and to remember that safe healing spaces are built on the ongoing work of everyone in the room.
