Healing Trauma with Amy Vincze, Part 3: The Body Remembers and the Power of Tapping

Unprocessed emotions don’t disappear — they take up residence in our bodies. In this final part of Sacha Holder’s conversation with Amy Vincze, we explore how trauma can create energetic blockages, physical symptoms, and emotional fatigue — and how practices like EFT tapping help release what’s been held too long.

Amy walks through the chakra system, explaining why the root chakra is the foundation for healing and how fear, guilt, and shame correspond to physical and emotional imbalances. Together, they discuss the 90-second rule for feeling emotions, the courage it takes to sit in stillness, and what balance truly looks like on the other side of trauma.

✨ Content Note: General references to trauma, emotion-based healing, and spiritual tools (no graphic content).

Key Takeaways

In this episode, Amy Vincze reveals how emotional energy becomes physical — and how tapping, breath, and awareness can restore flow. We talk about fear versus love, the wisdom of the body, and why sitting with discomfort is often the fastest route to peace. It’s about coming home to yourself — balanced, grounded, and open to healing from the inside out.

About the Podcast

The High-Functioning Disaster
High-functioning on the outside. Hot mess on the inside.
You’ve got the color-coded calendar, the competent job persona, the “I’m fine!” mask down to an art—and a mental load heavy enough to throw out your back. Meanwhile, life? That's a hot mess express—total chaos with zero chill and a full tank of emotional baggage. And what makes it even worse? Nearly no one’s talking about it.

Welcome to The High-Functioning Disaster, a podcast for people who are doing their best to hold it together while navigating burnout, grief, trauma, anxiety, caretaking duties, family drama, body image issues, and a to-do list that never quits.

Host Sacha Holder isn’t the disaster (neither are you!)—life is. And this show is about making space for that truth and giving ourselves permission to say it out loud. Every week, Sacha explores what it means to be deeply human in a world that keeps demanding more. Sometimes she’s flying solo, sometimes she brings along guests and friends—but the vibe is always real, raw, unfiltered, and grounded in radical self-acceptance and permission to be human.

We talk boundaries. Body image. Mental health. Emotional labor. The moments where everything feels like too much—and the ones where we catch our breath and keep going.

This isn’t a self-help podcast. It’s a self-permission podcast.
Permission to be exhausted.
To not have it together.
To be honest about what’s hard—without needing to package it as a “lesson.”

Because you don’t need fixing.
You need space to fall apart—and still be seen.
Because some of us are just trying to make it through the day.
And here? That’s more than enough.
New episodes every Monday. Come as you are. Seriously.
