# 22 – Suze Retera about Trauma, Angst, the Courage to Feel and the Deeper Sense of Happiness

House of Grace

In the beginning of this week an old companion vi… In the beginning of this week an old companion visited me: my Angst. As a spiritual student I have the ability to separate. I do feel the feelings, but I don’t believe them. Anyhow – I was not able to come out of it. I don’t have to, though, but I definitely did not want to take the next step and go into suffering. So what did I do? I did this podcast episode and interviewed my dearest Suze Retera, who is not only a yoga teacher and psychologist, but also a Trauma-Expert. Okay. The truth is: It was just in the beginning an interview and turned into a very personal conversation where I talked about my current fear and Suze valuably helped me with explaining how Trauma makes it way through the body, why we cannot heal by only doing self-reflection and conversation and which opportunities we have to overcome fear and how that leads to a deeper sense of happiness. My Angst, my old friend, is gone, but what stayed is this extremely interesting conversation and I hope you enjoy it and maybe it also helps you as much, as it did for me.
