Dr. Schwartz is a distinguished clinical psychologist and world-renowned author of several books spanning topics of trauma recovery, neuroscience, yoga therapy.

We found her to be a warm, generous conversation partner who is both curious and kind.
Speaking of the mind-body connection, Dr. Schwartz also has a vibrant YouTube channel: arielleschwartz913 filled with yoga practices, many of which focus on the vagus nerve, and of course, trauma recovery.

What if the part of you that knows what’s actually wrong isn’t your brain?
This week on Simplify, Caitlin sits down with —clinical psychologist, somatic therapy expert, and author of more books than seems reasonable for one person—to talk about what your body has been trying to tell you for years. Arielle has been working in somatics for thirty years, long before TikTok turned it into a buzzword, and her gift is making something that can feel slippery and slightly woo-woo feel concrete and useful. And, delightfully, she’ll get us there via rivers, vagus nerves, and the wisdom of your gut.
Her parting demystification of the field is one for anyone who’s tried to fix themselves quickly and wondered why it didn’t stick.

That feeling of being utterly exhausted but somehow unable to switch off. The tight chest. The 3am wake-ups. The gut that never quite settles. Most of us have been quietly living with these signs for years, chalking them up to a busy life or just the way we are. But what if they were your body trying to tell you something far more specific?
This week on Live Well Be Well, I’m sitting down with the brilliant Dr. Arielle Schwartz, somatic psychologist, certified yoga therapist, EMDR trainer, and one of the leading voices in nervous system healing and complex trauma. Arielle has this rare gift of translating some of the most intricate neuroscience into something you can actually feel in your own body. She is warm, grounded, deeply wise, and this conversation genuinely moved me.

Listen to us as we discuss how you can rewire your nervous system for lasting calm, connection, and resilience with cutting-edge, polyvagal theory-based activities.
Whether you have suffered a single traumatic experience or faced repeated difficult life events, you can be left feeling hypervigilant, irritable, and disconnected. Daily tasks like attending a work meeting or social gathering can feel overwhelming or even frightening. Most therapies for treating trauma require you to “revisit” your traumatic experience in potentially triggering ways.
Best-selling author Dr. Arielle Schwartz provides a cutting-edge approach for trauma healing in “The Polyvagal Theory Workbook”.

If you have ever replayed conversations in your head, worried you said the wrong thing, people pleased even when it cost you, or felt a deep fear of being abandoned, this episode is for you.
In this conversation, we explore why these patterns do not mean you are broken and how they are often rooted in complex trauma or C-PTSD. Together, we unpack why overthinking, people pleasing, and fear of abandonment live in the body and what actually helps when insight alone is not enough.

The conversation offers practical tools for recognizing these patterns, slowing down your reactions, and using curiosity and acceptance to gently shift toward deeper connection—with yourself and with others.
