All right, Chitia, so let's see if any of these apply to you, okay?

You've done the therapy, you've read the books, but you have yet to dip your toe into the somatic healing pond. You still find yourself having reactions that are out of proportion to the situation at hand. You live in a constant low-grade state of hypervigilance like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. Or you're on the opposite end. you're checked out, disconnected,

floating through life like your head

is a completely separate entity

from the rest of your body.

You live in chronic tension. Your shoulders are up to your ears like mine or your jaws clenched, hips tight, lower back pain, or you deal with digestive issues or you're constantly tired in a way that sleep just doesn't seem to fix. And last but not least, you're craving a place to heal with other cool people where you can just show up as your whole messy self and be accepted for it. So if any of those applied to you and let's get real shit shows, at least one of those applied to you, it's time that you sign the hell up or breathe to heal. The seven week journey kicks off on Tuesday, January 13th. It's led by Teresa,

fellow shit show member and somatic and breathwork practitioner. And it combines the three modalities

that literally helped me thaw out of functional freeze and start moving my life in the

direction I actually wanted. Breath work, somatic practices, and parts work. This is a steal

compared to other somatic programs out there with two and three month payment options to make more accessible. So you, yes, you, yes you, let's do the damn thing already.

Wayfair, every style, every home. Growing up in an unsafe or unpredictable home doesn't just teach us to tiptoe around the people we love it can also deeply

shape how we understand safety itself we can grow up feeling like it's normal to be on edge

both in our own bodies and in the world around us and that can lead us to either feel chronically

unsafe inside our own skin or to seek out relationships and environments that are familiar but

not actually safe navigating safety within ourselves for many of us who grew up in unpredictable

or unsafe homes the idea of feeling safe starts right inside our own skin internal safety is

about learning to feel at home with our emotions

and sensations, something that might have felt impossible when we were kids. We often had to tune

out our own feelings just to get through the day. So as adults, we might find that we're not

used to listening to our own bodies or trusting our own inner signals. Rebuilding internal safety means gently teaching ourselves that it's okay to feel what we feel.
