# 22 – Suze Retera about Trauma, Angst, the Courage to Feel and the Deeper Sense of Happiness

In the beginning of this week an old companion visited me: my
Angst. As a spiritual student I have the ability to separate. I do
feel the feelings, but I don’t believe them. Anyhow – I was not
able to come out of it. I don’t have to, though, but I definitely
did not want to take the next step and go into suffering. So what
did I do? I did this podcast episode and interviewed my dearest
Suze Retera, who is not only a yoga teacher and psychologist, but
also a Trauma-Expert. Okay. The truth is: It was just in the
beginning an interview and turned into a very personal conversation
where I talked about my current fear and Suze valuably helped me
with explaining how Trauma makes it way through the body, why we
cannot heal by only doing self-reflection and conversation and
which opportunities we have to overcome fear and how that leads to
a deeper sense of happiness. My Angst, my old friend, is gone, but
what stayed is this extremely interesting conversation and I hope
you enjoy it and maybe it also helps you as much, as it did for me.
