🎙️ Healing for the Soul Podcast | Season 6: Episode 26Guest: Estafana Johnson, LCSW – Trauma Therapist & Founder of the Critical Memory Integration Approach
Topic: What is CMI?
What if the key to healing wasn’t more talking, but learning how to uncover the hidden experiences your body still remembers? 🌱🧠
In this episode, Estafana Johnson shares insights from over two decades in mental health and how Critical Memory Integration (CMI) helps uncover the deeper roots behind trauma responses.
We dive into:
💡 Why “one-size-fits-all” therapy often fails trauma survivors
🌀 How past experiences shape our reactions today—even when we don’t consciously remember them
🤯 The difference between explicit memory, implicit memory, and body memory
🌍 How culture and environment impact healing (and why what works in one setting may not in another)
❤️ Why true trauma healing must be individualized, not formulaic
✨ “No amount of self-talk can outcompete your nervous system response. Healing begins when we address the deeper signals driving our behavior.” —Estafana Johnson
🎧 If traditional therapy has ever left you feeling stuck, this conversation offers a new perspective and a new path forward.
