  • Self-Healing Techniques PROVEN to Improve Mind-Body Connection | Emma Seppala

    Self-Healing Techniques PROVEN to Improve Mind-Body Connection | Emma Seppala
    Apr 10 2025
    What If the Key to Healing Isn’t a Pill—But a Breath? Over 70% of doctor visits are linked to stress-related conditions—yet the real solution might be simpler than you think. Today on The Dr. Josh Axe Show, we’re joined by Emma Seppälä, Ph.D.—a Yale psychologist, Stanford researcher, and bestselling author of Sovereign and The Happiness Track. Emma is on a mission to shift the conversation around mental and physical healing, and her groundbreaking research into the science of breath, trauma recovery, and emotional resilience might just change the way you view health forever. In this enlightening conversation, we explore how the mind-body connection, once considered fringe, is now scientifically validated—and how you can harness it to radically improve your well-being. From ancient wisdom to modern neuroscience, this episode bridges the gap between psychology, spirituality, and practical healing. You’ll learn: Why traditional therapy and medication often fall short—and what actually works for trauma and anxiety How a simple breathwork practice helped veterans eliminate PTSD symptoms—and how you can use it to regulate your nervous system The critical difference between empathy and compassion—and why one could lead to burnout while the other fuels healing and leadership How breathing techniques activate core muscles, lower inflammation, and transform emotional states—even during exercise The science behind memory reconsolidation and how breath can help you release stuck emotions and trauma responses How awe, service, and gratitude can rewire your brain and physiology for happiness and longevity Why self-criticism is sabotaging your success—and how to cultivate empowering self-awareness instead Tune in if… You’ve ever felt “off” but couldn’t explain it. You’re tired of one-size-fits-all mental health advice. You want practical tools to heal your body from the inside out—without side effects, and with science to back it up. This episode is more than a conversation—it’s an invitation to reclaim your inner sovereignty. Listen now to discover how ancient practices like breathwork and compassion can create modern breakthroughs for your body, mind, and soul. #breathwork #psychology #draxe Want more of The Dr. Josh Axe Show?
