Strategies To Release Stress and Trauma | 024

Kelly Lubeck, shamanic healing practitioner, shares simple strategies you can use to connect with your body, release stress and trauma, and embrace change to magnify your contribution.

We dive into Kelly’s journey of healing from vicarious trauma while working in Africa and post-war Central America. She recounts her big “It Has To Be Me” moment when her body shut down, and she literally lost her fingerprints!

Through a variety of healing modalities, Kelly learned to listen to her body and embrace self-care not as a luxury, but as an act of service and revolution for positive change. She now helps other women prioritize their self-care in order to pursue and fulfill their purposes.

Kelly walks us through simple movement, breathing, and sound techniques that can be woven into everyday life to calm and shift your energy. Regulating your nervous system, releasing stress, and holding your experiences in balance are things you get better at the more you practice them.

Kelly’s call to action: Ignore your body and it will demand you pay attention. Listen to your body and you have a greater capacity to heal and serve.

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS:
Self-care is not a luxury, but a form of service and revolution.
Befriend your resistance to self-care as a way of embracing change.
Your brain doesn’t like change, but your body demands it.
Cultivate a practice of listening to your body’s signals for better wellbeing.
Movement, breathwork, and singing help you regulate your nervous system.
Keep in a place of healing to be ready for whatever comes.
When you show up well, you help others to show up well.
Let go of what you believe is not safe about your dream and pursue it.

I've been working on cptsd for the last 8 years, I used a combo of trauma release exercises and breath work. Lately the shaking has become more intense and I have pretty violent body movements, involuntary vocalisation and lots of tears. It's a long painful process.
