How Trauma Lives in the Body and How to Heal with Paul Scoglio (Ep. 63)

In this thought-provoking episode of Rise, Heal, and Grow with Leah M. Hill, Leah sits down with psychotherapist, trauma therapist, leadership coach, and author Paul Scoglio for a deep conversation about healing, relationships, human potential, and the wisdom of the body. Drawing on more than four decades of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and leaders, Paul shares his journey from the halls of Danvers State Hospital to becoming a pioneer in trauma healing, somatic awareness, and human development. Together, they explore the impact of trauma on the body, the power of embodiment practices, the importance of understanding our differences, and the Taoist principle of Wu Wei—living with less force and more flow. Paul also offers insights from his upcoming memoir, Insane Asylum: A World of Trauma, and discusses how reconnecting with our bodies, intuition, and authentic selves can lead to greater healing, vitality, and joy. This episode is an inspiring invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and discover the transformative power that already exists within you.
