How Grief Lives in the Body: Nervous System Healing, Breathwork & Self-Forgiveness

How do you heal grief that never really leaves? What does it mean to truly regulate your nervous system? And how do you reconnect with your body when you’ve spent years in survival mode? In this powerful and deeply human 70th episode of From Loneliness to Overflow with Matina, Matina Singh sits down with Sherri Beckerson, somatic breathwork facilitator, nervous system coach, and founder of Ever Present Holistics, for an honest conversation about grief, forgiveness, trauma, and returning home to the body. Sherri shares her journey through profound loss — the sudden death of her father, the tragic passing of her brother, and later, divorce — and how living in a chronically dysregulated nervous system kept her disconnected from herself for years. Through faith, somatic healing, and breathwork, she discovered a new way to meet grief, regulate her body, and reconnect with safety, presence, and purpose. This episode explores how trauma is stored in the body, why talk alone isn’t always enough for healing, and how breath becomes a bridge between the mind, body, and spirit. Together, Matina and Sherri discuss forgiveness (especially self-forgiveness), the nervous system’s role in emotional healing, and why grief has no timeline — only an invitation to be felt, honored, and integrated. Whether you feel stuck in fight-or-flight, disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by emotions, or searching for peace after loss, this conversation offers grounding insight, compassion, and practical tools to help you come back to yourself. ________________________________________ Topics & Questions This Episode Answers • How does grief affect the nervous system? • What does a dysregulated nervous system feel like? • How do you regulate your nervous system naturally? • Can breathwork help release trauma? • How is trauma stored in the body? • What is somatic healing and how does it work? • How do you forgive yourself after loss or trauma? • Why does grief come back years later? • How do you feel safe in your body again? • What is the difference between fight, flight, freeze, and calm states? • How can breathwork help with anxiety and emotional overwhelm? • How do you live in the present moment when life feels heavy? ________________________________________ Key Takeaways • Grief has no timeline — it moves in cycles and deserves compassion. • Many people live in nervous system dysregulation without realizing it. • Forgiveness is not for others — it’s a path to inner freedom. • Trauma does not need to be relived to be healed; it needs to be felt safely. • Breathwork is a powerful tool for emotional regulation and trauma release. • The body holds memory, wisdom, and truth. • Presence creates safety, and safety allows healing. • Discomfort can be a doorway to authenticity and growth. • You can reconnect with yourself even after years of disconnection. ________________________________________ Episode Chapters 03:02 – Journey of Disconnection and Loneliness 10:33 – Forgiveness & Releasing Self-Blame 13:21 – Finding Hope After Loss 17:46 – Understanding the Nervous System 24:47 – Breathwork & Regulation Techniques 31:10 – Living in the Present Moment 40:43 – Embracing Change, Growth & Healing ________________________________________ Connect with Our Guest Sherri Beckerson – Ever Present Holistics Sherri is an Elementary School Teacher, Somatic Breathwork Facilitator, and Nervous System Coach who has transformed her own pain into purpose.
