After stress, animals undergo a natural healing process. They shake, tremble, or breathe deeply, which helps their bodies recover and calms their nervous systems after intense stress. If these stress hormones are not processed, they can lead to PTSD, depression, and anxiety in mammals. While humans also have the ability to process trauma, we’ve forgotten how to use it:

For decades, we were told: • Chronic illness is just bad luck or bad genes • Autoimmune diseases are random attacks on the body • Anxiety & depression are caused by chemical imbalances But the latest research on trauma and stress tells a completely different story.

3: Your childhood coping mechanisms become your adult symptoms. As a child, you needed to adapt to survive. • People-pleasing? Came from needing love & approval. • Numbing emotions? Came from avoiding pain. • Overachieving? Came from fear of not being good enough. These patterns don’t disappear—they turn into chronic stress, burnout, and addiction.

5: Healing trauma isn’t just mental—it’s physical. You can’t “think” your way out of trauma because it’s stored in the body. Healing requires: • Somatic therapy (body-based healing) • Nervous system regulation • Releasing stored tension & emotions Your body remembers what your mind forgets.

Watch me go through the somatic discharging exercise. You'll see my body in action, releasing tension through involuntary movements. This is the autonomic nervous system releasing stored stress. Notice the smile at the end (it feels like bliss):

1) TRE (trauma releasing tremors) ↓ TRE releases trauma held in psoas (a deep core muscle near the base of the spine). Once the tension is released from this area, people report "heat" running up the spine, involuntary body movements, emotional catharsis, etc.
