In this segment of her YouTube video, licensed clinical social worker Shari B. Kaplan reframes health as "mind-body health," emphasizing that experiences from birth and early development shape nonverbal aspects of how a person feels. She notes that speech and language occupy only a tiny portion of the brain, so many traumas cannot be accessed through talk therapy alone. Kaplan advocates for whole‑body approaches that help individuals reconnect with their bodies, process and repair trauma, and become more present and confident in their adult selves, strengths, and beliefs.
