FYI trauma isn’t stored in the hips like a doc in your google drive.
BUT your hips can absolutely hold tension and be in protective movement patterns, and how that relates to trauma is a little more nuanced.
it goes a bit more like this…
1. Your body learns what feels safe, what feels threatening, and what it needs to prepare for through repeated experiences of danger, stress, pressure, overwhelm, or safety.
2. Your muscles, fascia, joints, breath, posture, and movement patterns respond to those experiences almost instantly. When you feel anxious, your body tenses. When you feel calm, your body is relaxed.
3. Over time, those repeated protective responses… repeat. Your hips feel tight, your jaw clenches and gives you migraines, your lower back hurts, and your breathing is shallow.
4. This does not mean your body is broken. It means your nervous system has learned a pattern of protection, and the body is expressing that pattern physically.
5. So the goal is not to force a release, stretch harder, or dig trauma out of one body part. The goal is to gently teach the nervous system that it has more options now.
6. When the body begins to feel safer, tension can soften, movement can change, breath can deepen, and the parts of you that have been bracing for survival can finally begin to unwind.
In the 3rd level of HEAL, I’m building something I’ve never ever released anywhere before. It’ll be a somatic systems embodied class where you get to land at home in your body maybe for the first time ever.
The somatic studio will be included in the new membership to reclaim your health and fully heal.
The doors are opening August 11th 🥲🤗🧠🤯 I CANT WAIT!
