how do somatic trauma releasing exercises work? 👇🏼 *this exercise can cause crying and shaking* 🥹 here’s a breakdown of how this shaking releases trauma: ✨both humans and animals are supposed to instinctively shake after a stressful or traumatic event to discharge fight-flight-freeze energy ✨but humans suppress their natural shaking due to social norms, shame, and cognitive overrides ✨when that energy gets suppressed / trapped, it can lead to chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, dissociation, or shutdown (all symptoms of unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation) ✨exercises like this one recreate this natural discharge response, allowing you to release the pent-up stress and trauma out of your body (even if you’ve been storing it for years) after you release, you’ll feel significantly better both physically and emotionally 💖 your unexplained physical pain will be gone and you’ll have a ton more energy 💪🏼 you’ll feel emotionally stable & your nervous system will be regulated ✨ releasing stored trauma disrupts your body’s habitual stress response, allowing your body to return to its natural, balanced state 🙌🏼 do you want to release stored trauma from your body? get guided through the step by step 👇🏼 release stress & stored trauma (30 day course) 🔗 https://theworkoutwitch.com/release 💖✌🏼💖 • • • #somatichealing #therapeutic #hiprelease #traumarelease #traumahealing #hipmobility #hipmobilitywork #hipopener #hipopening #tighthips #hippain #lowerbackpain #emotionaltrauma #emotionalrelease #somatics #somatic #dissociation #overeating #undereating #workaholic #anxietytips #chronicpain #chronicstress • source: waking the tiger by dr. peter levine
