Message me at briony@thesomatherapycollective.com [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2527033/fan_mail/new] What if the voice inside your head that tells you to stay small, over perform, disconnect, or abandon yourself… isn’t actually yours? Episode 14 of The Unfuckwithable Woman goes deep into the Death Mother Archetype and the hidden nervous system patterns shaping relationships, shame, perfectionism, emotional shutdown, people pleasing, burnout and survival mode.  In this episode, Briony Montgomery explores how inherited relational wounds become internalised in the body and why so many people live disconnected from themselves without understanding why. This conversation explores: • mother wounds and attachment trauma • freeze, shutdown and nervous system survival states • the inner critic and self abandonment • perfectionism, emotional disconnection and shame • matrilineal repair and inherited trauma • how oppressive systems shape disconnection from self and body • somatic therapy and returning to the body This episode is not about blame. It is about awareness, healing and breaking unconscious patterns. If you’ve ever felt emotionally numb, stuck in survival mode, hypervigilant in relationships, or unable to fully rest, this episode will help you understand what may be happening underneath the surface.

Episode 13: The Mother Wound Explained: Why You Keep Repeating Relationship Patterns (And How to Break Them Through Somatic Healing)

Message me at briony@thesomatherapycollective.com [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2527033/fan_mail/new] Why do you keep repeating the same relationship patterns… even when you know better? In this episode of The Unfuckwithable Woman, Briony Montgomery explores the deeper truth of the mother wound - not as a personal flaw, but as a relational and nervous system pattern inherited across generations.  This episode unpacks: * What the mother wound actually is (beyond your relationship with your mother) * How patterns like people pleasing, hyper-independence, and over-functioning are formed * Why these patterns live in the body, not just the mind * The role of culture, lineage, and relational environments in shaping your nervous system * How somatic therapy supports long-term, embodied healing Briony shares clinical insight and lived experience to guide listeners into a deeper understanding of how the body holds relational patterns and how those patterns can change. This is not about fixing yourself. This is about understanding your system and learning how to work with it.

Episode 12: What Is Somatic Therapy? Why Your Nervous System Is Stuck in Survival (And How to Shift It)

Message me at briony@thesomatherapycollective.com [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2527033/fan_mail/new] There comes a point in healing where insight stops being enough. You understand your trauma. You know your patterns. But your body is still reacting - anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, or stuck in the same cycles. In this foundational episode of The Unfuckwithable Woman, Briony Montgomery breaks down what somatic therapy is and why it’s one of the most powerful approaches for trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience in today’s world. You’ll learn: – What the nervous system actually is (in simple, accessible language) – Why your body responds from past experiences, not just the present – The four core survival states: fight, flight, fawn, and freeze – How the fawn response keeps you overgiving, people-pleasing, and disconnected from yourself – Why talk therapy alone often isn’t enough – How somatic therapy works to create safety in the body – And how to begin shifting from survival into grounded, embodied flow This episode explores how your body holds your lived experiences and how healing happens when you work with it, not against it. Because your body isn’t the problem. It’s the pathway. 🔗 Explore somatic practices, The Daily Root, and work with Briony: www.thesomatherapycollective.com Join The Unfuckwithable Community If this episode resonated with you, don’t leave the conversation here.

Episode 11: Integrated Practice - How to Live Your Healing Every Day

Message me at briony@thesomatherapycollective.com [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2527033/fan_mail/new] Why does healing feel good in the moment but hard to sustain when life gets loud?

This is for anyone tired of the retreat high/crash cycle and ready to stay with the work.
