Why does the body hold onto what the mind tries so desperately to forget?

In this episode of Misbehaving Minds, host Elliott Robert sits down with Paty Quesada, founder of The Soulful Experiences, for an eye-opening conversation on somatic healing, intergenerational cycles, and emotional liberation.

Whether through the lens of modern neuroscience, spiritualism, numerology, inner child play, or fairy tales, every healing modality points toward one universal truth: our unhealed wounds don’t vanish—they take root physically within our nervous system.

Paty breaks down how trauma is mapped into the body, why unhealed patterns repeat across generations, and how viewing your family’s past with radical compassion allows you to finally drop baggage that was never yours to carry.If you’ve felt trapped in old emotional loops, chronic tension, or disconnected from who you truly are, this episode offers a roadmap to break the cycle, step into your authentic self, and live fully in the present.
