You can have a trauma response to many different types of experiences…

Growing up in a home where your needs weren't met

Living under capitalism, patriarchy and white supremacy.

Residue from things that happened to your parents and ancestors

Being shamed for your sexuality and self expression

Experiencing violence, emotional or sexual abuse

Getting or feeling abandoned by family, partners or friends

Exposure to toxic messaging from white-cis-hetero culture

Somatic therapy means working at the level of the nervous system to digest past experiences – the personal, ancestral, and collective imprints that are keeping you from feeling pleasure and belonging in your relationships with others, your body and the earth.
