Letters to the Part of Me

Hi, I’m Clara Louis — a somatic practitioner and someone who knows what it’s like to live in a sensitive body, to feel disconnected from yourself, and to wonder if you’ll ever get back. For years, I lived in survival mode. My body was tense, my mind was always “on,” and I thought the answer was to push harder, think more, and try to fix myself. But what I learned changed everything: mindset can’t land in a body that doesn’t feel safe. That’s why I created Letters to the Part of Me: A Podcast on Somatic Healing, Presence, and the Nervous System. Each week, I’ll share grounded, practical teachings to help you understand your nervous system, recognise survival patterns, and learn how to return to safety — slowly, gently, and with compassion. You’ll hear real-life examples, simple tools you can try today, and stories that remind you: you’re not alone in this. So if you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I feel anything anymore?” or “Why do I keep shutting down?” — you’re exactly where you need to be. Subscribe now to Letters to the Part of Me on your favourite podcast app — and let’s take this journey back to yourself, one honest moment at a time.

3. The four survival states

Why do you snap at small things, get stuck in endless busyness, go numb and disconnected, or find yourself saying yes when you want to say no?

In this episode, we explore the four survival states your nervous system moves into under stress: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.

I’ll share everyday examples so you can recognise which state feels most familiar to you, and how each one shapes your life.


You’ll learn:✨ How to notice when you’re in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn✨ Why these states aren’t “bad habits” but protective responses from your body✨ The first gentle steps to begin processing and finding safety again


By the end, you’ll see yourself with more compassion, and start to understand the deeper wisdom behind the ways your body has been protecting you.
