The Somatic Frequency
by Damian Appleby
Sympathetic Overdrive: The Biology of Being Stuck in 'On'
About this podcast
The Somatic Frequency isn't about thinking your way to transformation.
It's about feeling your way there — through nervous system healing, somatic affirmations, and the law of resonance.
Most approaches to personal change work from the top down. Mindset. Belief. Willpower. We work from the ground up. In the body. Where change actually lives.
This is a podcast for people who have tried understanding their way forward — and are ready to feel their way there instead.
Every episode is a practice. Some will teach you the mechanism. Others will take you straight into it.
Your Internal Compass is already calibrated. This is where you learn to listen to it.
🎧 New episodes every week.
