What happens after the accident, when the injury isn’t visible—but the anxiety, identity loss, and emotional toll take over your life?
In this episode of Unseen Impact, Rory and Kerrie sit down with Ben Coolik, a warm water somatic therapist, to explore the hidden trauma that follows personal injury — the part no one prepares you for.
We dive into:
- Why anxiety often begins after the physical injury
- How trauma gets “imprinted” in the body
- Why money alone doesn’t make someone whole
- The power of co-regulation, breath, and the nervous system
- How warm water somatic therapy helps people release what words can’t
This episode is for anyone who has been injured, supports someone who has, or feels stuck in anxiety they can’t explain.
