Trust Your Body, Quiet The Shame: Shiftwave & Healing With Theresa Hubbard

What if your body has been trying to tell you something all along?

In this episode, I'm joined by Theresa Hubbard, licensed family therapist, retreat facilitator, and host of the My Inner Knowing podcast. @myinnerknowing With over 35,000 hours of client work and training in EMDR, Brainspotting, Neurofeedback, breathwork, and so much more, Theresa brings a rare blend of professional expertise and lived experience to the conversation. She also serves as Chair of the Clinical Advisory Board for The Battle Within, supporting veterans and first responders.

Theresa and I talk about how perfectionism grows out of our deep need for connection and belonging, and how she uses an "observer" approach to stay curious about herself during seasons of growth and visibility. She shares why she has trained herself to trust physical sensations as a reliable source of information, even when the story in her head is loud.

We also dive into Shiftwave, a technology that combines sensory deprivation, guided imagery, breathwork, and full-body bilateral stimulation to help regulate the nervous system. Theresa explains how she pairs it with traditional therapy to support clients working through trauma, shame, and regret, and why she's advocating to bring it into VA programs so veterans can move out of that constant high-alert state.

If you've ever felt stuck in your head, weighed down by shame, or disconnected from your body, this conversation is for you.
