Some symptoms of stored trauma can include: anger, fearfulness, nightmares, insomnia, addictive behavior, chronic fatigue, hypervigilance, excessive sweating, heart palpitations, digestive issues, headaches, etc.

When we realize that the body holds traumatic memory and trapped energy, we can practice modalities to release it.

Somatic therapy was originally developed by Peter Levine in the late 1970s.

Somatic work allows the body time and space to complete whatever it needed to do at the time that it didn’t get to do.

Somatic experiencing is body based and helps one to heal on a deep level. It also increases one’s ability to self-regulate emotionally.

Some modalities include TRE (therapeutic shaking), breathing exercises, physical exercise, massage, grounding exercises, dance, and some energy techniques.
