In this episode of Everything Is Energy, Cathy Heller sits down with somatic pregnancy practitioner and energy healer Tamar for a conversation about nervous system healing, emotional healing, and the deep connection between trauma stored in the body and chronic illness.
Tamar shares her personal healing journey how she reversed endometriosis, vestibular migraines, and years of chronic illness after doctors had no answers. This is not a surface-level conversation. It's a raw, practical look at how the nervous system holds onto trauma, how emotions get stuck in the fascia, and how to finally release them.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why your nervous system registers small moments as trauma and how to complete the stress cycle your body never finished
- How trauma gets stored in the fascia, causing calcification, shallow breathing, and chronic pain The connection between specific emotions and specific diseases and why your symptoms may not be random
- How to discharge anger from the body using a step-by-step somatic release technique (no therapy session required)
- Why shame is the emotion most people skip, and how it blocks nervous system regulation
- The 90-second rule: an emotion, when fully felt without resistance, only lasts 90 seconds
- How to start reconnecting with your body today using mirror work, self-touch, and body communication
- What "coming home to yourself" actually feels like and how to build nervous system capacity so you can stay there
This episode is for the woman who has done the inner work but still feels stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unable to fully receive joy. If you've been on a healing journey and still feel like something is lodged in your body you can't reach, this conversation is your permission slip to feel it.
On August 2nd and 3rd, I'm hosting Cathy Heller Live: The Divine Download in Los Angeles, and I'd love for you to join us. https://cathyheller.com/summit/

What do you feel like day to day that you want people to know is possible about how our heart gets to open up and our lives get to open up? I mean, you were- we were chatting the other day, and you're like, "I'm at a place now where, like, the sex in my life is, like, the best it's ever been, and the work I'm getting to do and the ways I'm getting to live, I feel so ... I feel like my capacity," you were saying. You said, you said, "My capacity to enjoy my life is just incredible, and I wish I would've, you know, known that earlier. I could give that to other people." But you're doing it. [upbeat music] Hey, guys, it's Cathy Heller. Welcome back to Everything is Energy. Everything really is energy, and today is a perfect example of that because Tamar is here. And I've known Tamar since she's nine years old, and she was just as wise and just as beautiful, and to watch her evolve has been awesome.
