This is not a podcast for the mainstream. This is for the silenced, the cast out, and those whose stories never made the headlines. A Groundbreaking Trauma Justice Podcast from a Genocide Survivor and Somatic Therapist.
Deeply embodied, politically urgent, and spiritually grounded space led by a therapist who survived war and genocide herself. Ana Mael is not just talking about trauma—she has lived it, survived it, and now guides others through it with radical clarity and compassion.
This podcast is a revolution in trauma conversations: it moves beyond mindset tips and breathwork into trauma justice, relational repair, and systemic truth-telling. Each episode invites listeners to stop healing in isolation—and to begin naming, reclaiming, and rising from what hurt them.
Exiled and Rising is for survivors of war, systemic injustice, and complex trauma—especially those living in exile from land, identity, or community.
With raw truth and radical tenderness, Ana Mael offers unfiltered guidance on how to heal when you’ve been cut off—literally or metaphorically—from your home, safety, or sense of self and how to raise up and call for justice.
“This podcast is not about surface-level healing. We are not fluffing the feathers or shaking the crystals here.”
No glamour edits. No AI voices. Just real voice, lived experience, and trauma-focused truth.
Social and Cultural Relevance:
Ana’s work is a mirror for our time. In a global climate of rising authoritarianism, censorship, and the silencing of marginalized voices, this podcast becomes both a somatic protest and a innate act of resistance.
“If you have been silenced… Welcome.”
Ana gives voice to the body in a time when speech itself is policed. This is especially potent for:
Activists and whistleblowers
Immigrants and undocumented individuals
Survivors of trauma who were never given words for what they endured
A deep-dive podcast blending somatic healing expertise, micro-teachings, and lived survivor experience. Each episode distills trauma recovery, nervous system insights, and political consciousness into guidance that helps you reclaim power, safety, and self.

PTSP, Emotivna Trauma i Ubrzanje Terapije: Terapeut dijeli praktične savjete
Da li tražiš način da olakšaš teret traume bez godina terapije? Ana Mael, somatska terapeutkinja za PTSP, deli jednostavne i praktične alate koje možeš primeniti odmah. Nauči kako da izgradiš kapacitet svog tela za otpuštanje, poverenje i otpornost.
U ovoj epizodi Exiled and Rising, Ana Mael, somatska terapeutkinja specijalizirana za PTSP i oporavak od traume, vodi te kroz jedno od najvažnijih pitanja u procesu isceljenja: šta znači otpuštanje, a šta znači kolaps – i zašto razlika između njih može promeniti sve.
Ana objašnjava da trauma nije nešto što se samo “dogodilo u prošlosti”. Ona ostaje u telu, u mišićima, fasciji, disanju i načinu na koji zauzimamo prostor. Zato se istinsko isceljenje ne može pronaći samo spolja – u tehnikama, teorijama ili u tuđem priznanju – već u povratku u telo.
Kroz ovu epizodu:
Naučićeš zašto je trauma uvek telesna i kako naše telo čuva sećanja na izdaju, napuštanje i bol.
Razumećeš razliku između kolapsa (osećaj bespomoćnosti, izolacije i odustajanja) i otpuštanja (polje poverenja i oslobađanja).
Otkrićeš praktične vežbe za stvaranje „relacijskog polja“ – poverenja između tebe i zemlje, stolice, daha ili čak povetarca na tvom licu – koje telo može da prepozna kao sigurno i podržavajuće.
Dobićeš alate za samopomoć koji ti omogućavaju da počneš isceljenje odmah, bez potrebe da čekaš godine terapije.
Ana naglašava da je put isceljenja često prepun nestrpljenja i očaja, ali da je snaga u mikro-koracima i mikro-iskustvima. Upravo ta mala iskustva vraćanja u telo grade kapacitete za veća oslobađanja, a time i za otpornost.
Ova epizoda je poziv da prestaneš bežati od sopstvenog tela i da ga umesto toga počneš posmatrati kao sveto mesto isceljenja. Jer upravo tu – između leđa i stolice, između stopala i zemlje, između daha i neba – počinje tvoja transformacija.
Za koga je epizoda:
Za sve koji žive s PTSP-om, traumom ili osećajem trajnog egzila iz sopstvenog tela.
Za one koji traže konkretne i primenljive alate za samopomoć.
Za imigrante, izbeglice, preživele ratova i sistemskog nasilja – ali i za svakoga ko želi da vrati poverenje u svoje telo.
✨ Glavna poruka epizode: Tvoja rana je tvoj lek. Isceljenje se ne događa u teoriji – ono se događa u tvom telu, u trenutku kada naučiš da razlikuješ kolaps od otpuštanja i da se osloniš na relacijsko polje poverenja.
