Somatic Release: A 14-Day Nervous System Reset A 20-page guide to bottom-up healing through body movement.
If you've spent years analyzing, journaling, and talking through what happened — and your body still feels braced, jumpy, or numb — this guide is for you. Stored trauma doesn't live in your thoughts. It lives in tight hips, a clenched jaw, shallow breath, and a nervous system that won't stop scanning for danger. You can't think your way out of that. You have to move through it.
This guide gives you a 14-day, day-by-day protocol that works the body first and lets the mind settle as a result. Each day is one focused practice — 10 to 20 minutes — that you can do at home with no equipment.
What's inside:
| Section | What you get |
|---|---|
| Foundation pages | What bottom-up healing is and how it's different from talk therapy, with a side-by-side comparison |
| Days 1–5 | Orienting, diaphragmatic breathing, vagus nerve toning, self-soothing touch, body scanning |
| Days 6–10 | Shaking, hip openers, psoas release, pendulation, titration |
| Days 11–14 | Eye movement, jaw and face release, grounding, integration |
| Troubleshooting | Signs to slow down, how to titrate, what to do if it feels like too much |
| Takeaways | A specific 30-day plan to keep the practice going after Day 14 |
Who this is for: People dealing with chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms who want a practical body-based protocol they can actually start tonight. Especially useful if you've done talk therapy and feel like there's still something stuck.
Who this isn't for: People in active crisis or working through severe PTSD without professional support. This guide is meant to work alongside a trauma-informed therapist, not replace one.
Format: Instantly downloadable PDF. 20 pages. Plain English, no jargon, no fluff. Reads in one sitting and gives you something specific to do every day for two weeks.
Key takeaway: Two weeks from now, you'll know which two or three practices your body actually responds to — and you'll have them locked into your calendar so the work keeps going.
