Скачать или смотреть Is Trauma Stuck in My Hips? | How To Be Patient (Ep 17)

This week, I learned I have a pelvic floor. And yes, I realize I’m a doctor and should’ve known that already. Margaret and I talk with pelvic floor physical therapist and viral educator Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas, who somehow made me breathe through my butt on mic. We cover everything from incontinence and pelvic pain to TikTok fame, trauma-informed care, and the surprisingly emotional world of core stability. Alicia breaks down the science and the stigma behind one of the most misunderstood parts of the body—and I try to keep up while sitting on a pillow and trying not to Kegel too hard.

Takeaways:

I didn’t know I had a pelvic floor until this episode. Spoiler: everyone has one. Yes, even you.

Turns out, anxiety might live in your hips. Alicia explains how mental health and physical tension are way more connected than I realized.

We talk about peeing “just in case” more than I ever expected to on this podcast. And it’s weirdly important.

Margaret brought the neuroscience, Alicia brought the pelvic models, and I brought... confusion and curiosity. It actually worked.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, this one’s for you. And if you haven’t—congrats on being a floating brain, I guess.
