- Trauma healing that reaches into the biological roots of stress and tension has to happen deeper than just the mental level. In order to release the effects of trauma in your nervous system, you’ve got to get your body involved -- and that means movement. Today I give you five tips for starting a trauma healing movement practice.

-- How To Start A Trauma Healing Movement Practice --
When healing trauma, it’s important to understand that all types of stress -- including trauma -- impact your nervous system at the biological level. Unresolved stress, trauma and blocked emotions that haven’t been fully processed result in nervous system dysregulation. That can leave you feeling either too wired and anxious or too flat, as though you’re drifting above life but not really living it.
In order to fully heal the residual effects of trauma that have become lodged in your nervous system, it’s necessary to go deeper than just an intellectual understanding of what happened.
By engaging somato-sensory movement -- i.e. movement that stimulates your nervous system in novel ways and helps you to reconnect to and fully experience living in your body again -- we can begin to discharge stored stress in your nervous system and initiate trauma healing.
But trauma healing movement practices are not the same as exercise. They’re also difficult to describe as they rely on a person’s direct experience rather than a rote list of movements to perform.
These five tips will help you to start to explore trauma healing movement from a somato-sensory standpoint so that you can begin to bring your nervous system back into balance.

7:00 “why is my body doing this to me? It’s not doing this TO you, it’s an expression OF you. It’s coming FROM you,”
Hallelujah!
I remember telling my therapist that my nervous system was xy and z and she was the first person to help me realised I needed to connect with me and my mind as well as of course our bodies!
"going slow is going fast" 👏
Love it!! I learned it another way!
“Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.”
I have CPTSD and after reading some good information out there, yours really resonated with me. I now got how I should really be doing it especially "It's not about doing it, its about feeling it". Your instructions and advice are so clear and much simpler. Thank you. I am 70 years old and have only in the last 10 months discovered all my mental health problems I have had all adult life plus aches and pains, spending so much money on trying different things, are due to CPTSD. Then finding out about Somatic practices is the icing on the cake. I have so much hope now.
How are you doing? read your reply hope you are healing up well?
What is CPTSD? I've heard people mention it a few times in here. Post traumatic stress disorder is familiar, but not sure what the C is?
@@saintejeannedarc9460 COMPLEX Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Complex PTSD is slightly different from PTSD in that CPTSD is when you have suffered trauma from a very very young age and all through your childhood, i.e. neglect, emotional, psychological, physical, sexual etc. Hope that explains?
@@cabbagedavidge Yes, it does thank you. I guess it depends the level and impact of it. I've had a fair bit of that, but wouldn't consider that I have CPTSD. I definitely have longterm trauma and it's likely at the root of depression/anxiety.
CPTSD can also mean, experiencing the trauma of those you care for-disaster workers, ER nurses, even reporters in wars. Interesting how often these are the same people(childhood trauma+ helping professions)
0:46 1. Don't make it all or nothing. Less is more. Go slow. Going slow is going fast.
2:30 2. It's not about doing it, it's about feeling it.
3:40 3. Move into tension.
6:24 4. Never move into pain.
8:24 5. Move slowly and with intention.
9:47 6. A healing movement practice is not exercise. Set aside your preconceptions about movement.
This is why Tai Chi is so healing and soothing. Each move slow and intentional.
Daaaaamn. Even from philosophical perspective, resistance creates more resistance in life due to fear. Same with what you're teaching, the body is trying to complete an expression, so instead of stretching opposite of an unwanted posture, go further into the direction that body is trying to bend, as long as you don't bend towards pain. 🤓
Precisely!
I really, REALLY needed this video. i'm coming through immense trauma. Decades of abuse and violation. I'm free now. I'm also very, very alone now. And my body repeatedly wants to shut down. Daily. It obviously deeply effects my work. Some days I simply can't, um... go. I just lay there and cry or shake, and I know it's my body expressing immensely deep sadness and burnout.
Because of the dire situation, missing work is very scary, because I don't want to lose my home. So, i try to force myself to heal. Like it's a second job. But I hear you, slow IS faster. Yesterday I guess I really triggered the stuff out of me and was shut down for the day, kicking myself, trying to get calm and be nice to myself, trying to FORCE myself to be calm... It's such a messed up cycle.
I just want to live again.
So sorry to read about your Trauma how are you doing now?> I hate how humans suffer it is so unfair, it is hard to live in TRAUMA it so takes over and you makes it hard to deal with situations that require you to be in charge of yourself and not fall back into victim mode
Hi John, just reading your post now. Just wondering how you’re doing? ❤
Hope you're well John, I am on the same journey after years of deep abuse so I can relate.
@@evegelinas1813 hey. Thanks for asking. I’ll be honest, we had to spend months writhing in pain, got extremely sick, lost our place… but… now we’re loving with friends and it’s the safest environment we’ve lived in for decades. It’s so soothing our body doesn’t entirely know how to respond.
Things are good and we’ve processed through so much. Enjoying work day to day and having really really fulfilling relationships with good boundaries.
@@TheRaven8 That’s great to hear! I hope you continue on your path to healing and wish you all the best!
I just came across this video after a couple months of doing this work - and I appreciate the reinforcement of “going slow is going fast” and “ feeling the movements” - I have to remind myself everyday to do 10 minutes of work in the morning & at night - it’s easy to think it’s not doing anything until you’re feeling better so you stop doing the work & a few days later we’re cranky & anxious again - I finally have the consciousness to realize what’s happening- thank you for all you’re sharing! Viki
Yes! All of my healing has happened slowly over time within moments. I always appreciate when I notice the change happen 🙏🏻 thank you
Wow, once again your delivery, your kind vibe, the clarity and the information itself are just so needed right now. Thank you. Candice of New Zealand.
So happy I found this channel. Pure gold.
This makes me rethink how Tai Chi could be worked into my workout program. Now I see it’s role in a new light
Thank you so much for making this, this was so helpful!!!
This is incredible! Thank you Sukie.
This is pure gold.
This wisdom is astounding. Thank you so much!! I’ll be giving these a go!
Such a brilliant video!! Thank you
This was incredibly helpful info. Thank you so much
I have absolutely been loving your videos thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and experience!!
Wow. Amazing video, Sukie. So many useful gems of perspective in here. In my humble experience as a very amateur adult athlete, everything you describe here is equally applicable to athletic training as it to healing. In fact, I'm starting to think that high level athleticism can only be born out of a genuinely healed (aka balanced) mind-body. Truly, going slow is going fast. Trying to train movement patterns at high speed without first dissolving all the blocks hiding in the neuro-circuitry of that movement is like trying to build a skyscraper from the top story down. It just won't work! I'll be watching this again and again until these lessons are hardwired in my brain and my training practice! Thank you 🙏
This is really changing my life, thank you!!!
Amazing wisdom…thank you
This speech is the most instructive, compassionate guide in learning to love your body. So well said. Thank you.
This sounds revolutionary to me. 15 years daily yoga practice I’ve been doing too much pushing.
Kind wisdom. Thank you so very much❤️
You're an absolute treasure, thank you for all your video's.
This is soooo helpful
THANK YOU 🙏 🌸✨
Thank you sooooo sooo much, wonderful explaination.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
There's a couple interesting things I learned from watching this today thanks!
I love your Videos and I am verry happy that Ive found your Channel. It helps me a lot and gives me hope for relief. Thank you⚘ Best regards from Germany, Isabelle
There is nothing like this near me. But I know I could benefit from this.
Thank you for sharing your videos.
Great advice..🙌
Thank you!
Going “into the tension” is called reciprocal inhibition” in Osteopathic principles.
It “shuts off” the nerve impulses from that “right muscle”, inhibiting the contraction or firing of that muscle.
Very effective to make changes after calming down the neurological feedback loop to that muscle.
Preach it, sister! This is so good.
Tension is consciousness... Do you think that's why some depress people just wanna sleep? So they are not in a tense state.
I do a lot of yoga and it helps a lot too. Like what my yogic teacher says a little goes a long ways
Very good video. You get more information in 11 minutes than in other videos that are 1 hour long.
Good job
Thank you very much🙏
Do you have any videos where you demonstrate what you're describing? I'm more of a visual learner and not sure what it looks like to move into tension. Thank you!
Yeah I am massively same. It’s always like getting half of the exercise.
Yes, I came to this video thinking it was actually showing practices because the video photo shows her doing some yoga type stuff…
yes, please. would love a video on this.
She has a free course called pain free , search it up it's on her website
@@michaeladams6154 many free TRE exercises on you tube, very helpful in releasing trauma from the body.
Thank you, beloved :)
Awesome! Do you have any videos with movement and giving examples of movement? Where do I start? Thank you!
Thanks
Thank you
Hugely powerful ideas. Thanks so much. The idea that our bodily postures are the body trying to complete a movement like a return to the fetal position is awesomely juicy to play with :)
You might be interested in Primitive Reflex integration. She is describing Moro Cling and Fear Paralysis. Fascinating whatt she says about going with the tension. It's exactly what we do to integrate reflexes - well, that and rhythmic movement.
Tried the practices. It worked. Felt excited and probably over enthusiastic. Tried it again. Didnt work. Felt frustrated and despair. Found this video. Understood why it didnt work the second time. Bingo.
You took this knowledge, absorbed it, digested it, refined it and made it very palatable for me. Thank you so much.
Thanks. What sort of movements do you try and do? Xx
Brilliant
i am amazed by you) thanki)
I like it, and I would also like more specifics. I hear you saying less is more, and to keep it to only a few minutes at a time. But should I start with just one area of my body and stay with that for a few days or a week? Or should I go through the Pain Free at Any Age lessons one by one, like one each day? Should I focus on the body part I'm having trouble with? I feel like the tension in specific body parts is downstream from the basic state of sympathetic activation, so I'd like to focus on whatever will best move me from sympathetic to parasympathetic.
Thx you
yeah) anesthesia really showed me my happy spirit without tensions of the body ) and getting back to the body was like putting spirit in the bottle )
is it possible to have physical body without stress in it? that is smth i want to enjoy ) free spirit in free body )
Dear Suki, like Ann below, I too have suffered from cPTSD and several debilitating chronic illnesses like PLS (primary lateral sclerosis), diabetes type 2, among other things for over 20 years. I've been doing your vagus nerve exercises for anxiety relief for over 3 months now. Initially I had much hope (still do) and noticed almost immediate results. But now my pain is worsening each day with seemingly no explanation. I want to believe it's because as long term long stored up trauma is released, maybe it comes to the surface first and makes everything worse for a while. Is this true? Could you please direct me to a video on this or possibly do a video on this topic? Thanks.
Where can I find a trauma healing movement practice please? Thank you 🙏
Just curious. Do your eyes need to be open when you ‘look’ to the right and left?
Hi Sukie, these are great videos. May I clarify, are you saying that when we do trauma healing we should not exercise at all? Or just during the 10-20 minutes of trauma healing?
I believe you can still exercise, but keep it for another time during the day. If you do somatic healing in the morning, do your exercises in the afternoon or early evening, vice versa.
Where are the movements?
Hi Sukie. Iam having right hip and groin pain every day when I practice yoga poses. I love yoga and I am doing it for a long time. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Sounds like pelvic floor muscles. Does intercourse hurt?
Where's the movement?
Where is the “trauma healing movement practice” described in the video preview photo?
Hi Sukie, you are amazing! Were are you based?
Thanks, Celia, I'm in the US.
Can you be more specific, State and City...
Do you have a course for trauma healing?
I would also like to do a course on this, good suggestion !x
How would such a practice look like? :) Any examples? Anybody?
The slower you go the faster you grow. I learned this from a personal trainer.
Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast
Does body tension (from trauma) make you feel rigid? Like I can’t relax? I used to be so relaxed and I used to feel so beautiful and natural and now I am stiff , my movements are awkward, I don’t feel pretty anymore, I never look or feel comfortable ever since I was traumatized. This has been going on for about 4 years now. I don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t see my beauty anymore. It’s been devastating.
It can. I suggest that you reach out to a practitioner who can support you through this. Call 1-800-662-HELP to get connected to someone.
☺️
So deep tissue massage...not so good???
🧞♂️
Crazy you have so many subscribers but don’t really post much.
You've just sounded like Orwell...
3 rude ads and Im not even 8 minutes in to this informative video.
This is not worth it. 😫
Why so much talk and no practice?
Thank you
You're welcome!
