Is unresolved stress living in your body?

Somatic Stress Release™ can help move it through!

When you encounter stress, your body instinctively knows how to respond to release the tension, which prevents it from becoming stored and trapped in your body. However, as humans with complex brains in modern, busy lives, we often suppress or inhibit these natural responses. That causes the energy and memories to get trapped inside. This can lead to physical distress, discomfort, and unease, which makes it hard to truly feel at ease in your own body and mind.

You might try to cope with stress in various ways -- some healthy, some not-so-healthy. Whether you abuse substances, numb yourself emotionally, stay too busy, or push through injuries in the name of productivity, the energy is still there. You can try to outrun it, but it keeps nagging at you, causing pain, fatigue, or negative moods and emotional states.

Stress from traumatic events, whether a single incident or prolonged exposure (like an abusive childhood or adult relationship) can be especially hard to release. It might feel like you're constantly reliving the trauma, which might experienced as waves of anxiety, erratic energy, or overwhelming sadness or anger. You may struggle to process the physical sensations that come with reminders of the traumas.

What is Somatic Stress Release and how can it help?

Somatic Stress Release is a holistic practice designed to improve your awareness of your body's responses to stress. It helps you complete natural biological stress responses and release trapped energy in a healthy way that allows you to live with greater ease, authenticity, and self-control. This therapeutic approach encourages you to mobilize the energy that is stuck in your system, so you can move through life with a more balanced energy flow, rather than feeling hyper-aroused, jittery, or sluggish.

By becoming more aware of how your body responds to stress -- where you feel tension, how your muscles move, what sensations arise -- you can reclaim control over your reactions and make conscious choices in the moment. This greater awareness gives you the tools to:

Respond to stress with more presence, choice, and control;
Reduce impulsivity and reactivity;
Have more compassion for your lived experience and how it makes you feel, which increases your compassion for others too;
Stay present and aware, instead of acting on autopilot;
Experince more vitality and aliveness in your everyday life;
Tap into the wisdom of your body and unconscious mind; and
Release the stored stress that causes emotional or physical discomfort.
