Have you ever found yourself reacting at a 9 when the moment only called for a 2? What if that “overreaction” wasn’t about now at all — but about something your body never finished feeling? In this transformative talk, trauma therapist and speaker, Laurel Wiers, challenges what we’ve been taught about healing. Drawing on neuroscience, client stories, and 25 years of clinical experience, she reveals why triggers aren’t signs of weakness — they’re invitations to understand what your nervous system still remembers. With warmth and humor, she guides us to rethink emotional overreactions, not as flaws to fix, but as unresolved moments to finally feel. This isn’t about coping. It’s about freeing ourselves from the emotional leftovers that shape our behavior, our relationships, and our future. Healing starts when we stop minimizing our reactions and look at what they are trying to show us. Laurel Wiers is a therapist, speaker, author of Betrayed, Not Broken, and trainer to clinicians. She helps people heal the emotional patterns they didn’t know were holding them back. Specializing in neuroscience-based approaches like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), she empowers clients and audiences alike to reconnect with the parts of themselves their nervous systems never forgot. Her work helps people stop managing reactions — and start reclaiming freedom. Laurel Wiers is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has been practicing for over 25 years. She has trained clinicians nationally to treat trauma with Accelerated Resolution Therapy and is a contributor to the therapeutic model of Critical Memory Integration. As the founder of Optimal Outcome, a coaching and consulting company, she helps people overcome triggers and trauma to unlock peak performance in life and business. Laurel shares the unexpected connection between the body, brain and our past experiences- and how healing old wounds might just be the key to your future success.
