Working regularly, in small groups we learn to gradually build our tolerance for discomfort, and turn towards the survival energy that rattles around inside our bodies after a trauma.
Safety is an absolute must for this work to be helpful. We need to have some sense of stability in our current lives to be able to return to moments that scattered us in our pasts. The depth of somatic trauma therapy we can do is very closely related to the depth of our personal resources and relationships.
In group work we steadily become more capable of being vulnerable and authentic. We also practice turning and focusing our attention on discomfort. From here the body starts to take control of itself.
The wisdom in our primal survival instincts can pull us through, we just need to find safety around us, and trust our body to make its own moves.
