Somatic Exercises for Difficult Emotions #shorts

How to release unprocessed emotions out of your body👇🏼

Both chronic stress and trauma cause you to disconnect from yourself & shutdown both physically & emotionally

This is a coping mechanism that happens when the traumatic experience(s) are too overwhelming or distressing to process in the moment 😮‍💨

Disconnecting from your body manifests as dissociation, overeating or under-eating, feeling numb, addiction, workaholism, not being able to feel your feelings, and ignoring basic self-care 🥹

These are not moral failures & they’re not your fault!

They’re autonomic, unconscious reactions to the amount of trauma that you’ve been through

Your body & your emotions shut down in an effort to protect you, and for a short period of time this can be helpful to getting through your day to day ✨

BUT! at a certain point these trauma responses no longer are helpful, and instead you know that you want to get your full self back 🙌🏼

Somatic trauma releasing exercises are a clear pathway into reconnecting to your body & your emotions 💖

These exercises release stored trauma & the unprocessed emotions that’ve been making you feel stuck, disconnected or dissociated 🙌🏼

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 & 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 and unprocessed emotions from your body?

Get guided through the step by step 👇🏼

I love how this looks a lot like what toddlers to when upset, makes sense that it’s natural movements to try and heal.

This is what they should be doing in rehab centers.

I’ve been doing TRE, and that one for grief comes up in my sessions. I’d never seen that before, but when I saw this, recognised my body is doing it instinctively!

Dear Workout Witch, I have done the exercise you demonstrated for grief for less than a few minutes and I found myself crying uncontrollably, I found myself praying for healing and light, I found myself mourning and crying from a primal, guttural place, my head, hands and feet were vibrating and there were waves of vibration pulsating through me. It was a horrifying experience to be so in touch with myself and yet, now, I feel such immense and profound release. Thank you.

That FEAR one was great for me after my rear end collision!! I still do it whenever I experience back pain!!

[sunflowerglo]

I don't feel safe in my own body anymore, from the trauma that I've endured. It's really hard for me to grant myself movement or do anything that feels good because it doesn't feel safe to experience pleasure. I found these exercises today and I'm going to try really hard to implement them into my everyday to get myself back. Thank you for sharing this ❤

The universe brought you to me. I was never able to understand why I cant lose weight i always felt something was hindering me. I have so much to uncover in this journey but I found you and I'm learning that there is a way to release past traumas ❤

I did this this morning. I feel better. Even had few tears.

[tamaramholland]

I’ve been doing the anxiety move my whole life. This is the first I’m hearing of somatic exercise

[savannamacpherson]

You know, it's amazing what your body knows you need. I realized as I'm watching you that I use to do these movements when I was stressed or anxious.

[tessagreen]

Did not think I had grief to process but that is the one exercise that made me cry

[irshikha]

Wow! I'll try. 🎉

I think before this, people should be able to pinpoint what emotional state they're in. Because often, people aren't aware of the same. So, let's start getting to know ourselves.

Ok Im sold. I’m unemployed cause of all these issues right now. It's really bad. Was fired from last job. About to be homeless in 1 month. 2 decades of this shit and hundreds of drs and all the shit I bought and crap i did with no answers, just wasted money and getting worse. If shit i had to eat, i would do it, but nothing . No one. No one has ever mentioned this !! You Understood clearly without opening my mouth. I can't even express what i go through and do and behave. I normalize it. I ignore it. Cause no one wants to hear it or cares. Im alone and isolated. Sleep all day. I wish i could cry but haven't in years. You do know you got my cortisol up 😂 and anger and resentment and all negative emotions heightened righten now. Feeling robbed, lied, neglected, used, taken... so much more. The world is a shit place I have to find a way to gather the $$ to get this, cause it really is life or death . I have so many mystery conditions undiagnosed so untreated and known conditions but every treatment is made to kill me more. Hope it's true.

[tencynevarez]

Thank you, for showing me how to do the exercises for different emotions.
This really helped.😊

[iamhappyhealthywealthy]

Thank you! Immediately put into practice 🙏🏻

[jessicabarbosa]

I didn't realize I already do most of these and never really understood why certain things helped me to feel better there is clearly a science to this and I am going to make it a part of my daily life now!

[emmabourke]

I just did the grief one and had a sudden and deep cry. I was able to hear myself internally and actually believe the words of affirmation. I sometimes try to mentally work through things but I don’t believe what im saying to myself. This time I did, and it was relieving to let some emotions for past trauma go. This is my second day in a row trying these exercises, going to try to keep it a routine.

[desertrosecollection]

This is helping me so much, thank you! ❤

The ear hold and nod helped my overwhelm. I think because I felt like a horse being ridden by a driver, so I can relax not being in control of everything at once.
