When Emotions Block Fertility — and How Somatic Therapy Opens the Body to Life

Guest: Dr. English Goldsborough, ND, BCHN, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Practitioner, Certified Lactation Counselor

Can emotions actually block fertility? In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with her dear friend Dr. English Goldsborough - a Naturopathic Doctor, Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Practitioner - to explore how unprocessed emotions and chronic stress can quietly signal the body that it’s not safe to conceive.

They unpack how trauma and emotional patterns impact the nervous system, hormones, and immune balance, and how somatic therapies like the Safe and Sound Protocol help the body restore a sense of safety, balance, and readiness for new life.

This conversation bridges the heart and the science - reminding us that our emotions don’t just live in our heads, they live in our bodies. And when we help the body feel safe again, healing - and sometimes, pregnancy - follows naturally.
