Connecting the Dots from "Freeze" to Autoimmune Disease

The anatomy of trauma: it’s time to connect the dots.

My YouTube channel turned 15 years old earlier this year 🤯

FUN FACT: The first video I posted was based on high performance sport and the Feldenkrais method. If you are interested, check it out. This is also the era of the iconic Baby Liv video!)

While the focus of what I share has pivoted a lot since then, I’m still deeply connected with high performance sport and Feldenkrais, Baby Liv continues to be a favourite guest teacher in my online programs, and my Feldenkraisian roots are alive and well as I teach my current SPT mentees (cue slide 19 via this IG post to see it in action).

But I digress…

In the past five years, I keep seeing more growth and interest in the current work that I am most focused on, which is GOOD NEWS for humanity!

However, we’re in a bit of a weird space where a lot of these concepts are all over the place.

There are a lot of “buzzwords” out there right now:

healing trauma
the nervous system
the vagus nerve
somatic exercises
polyvagal theory…

While many people might know these words when they see them, what I’m finding more and more is that a lot of people still don’t seem to understand them.

One of my goals for the rest of the year is to “gel” some of these things together… Hence today’s video:

Many of us are living chronically in mixed survival states: cell repair isn’t happening, we don’t sleep well, the tissues of the body aren’t recovering and lose resiliency, and we’re getting sicker.

It’s time to connect the dots, so to speak. Watch this (my 809th YouTube video!) to learn more.

Time-Sensitive Announcement

Connecting the dots is a part of what makes my online curriculums so powerful.

They’re more than just one piece of the puzzle – some students have called them their “healing homebase.”

THIS is where the deeper learning, practicing, and healing happens. The best place to start is my 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up, and it’ll be on SUPER* sale next week. Details below:

On June 16 & 17, my 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up self-study curriculum will be on sale for $147 US (regular price is $297 – *we’ve never done a sale this steep!)
As well as access to the curriculum, this discounted price snags you year-round support from my hand-picked professional team (all Somatic Experiencing trained, and more!)
Over 16,000 humans have gone through the ‘21 Days’ since its inception in 2015

Here’s what one student said about it:
