Natural trauma release
I was recently speaking at an osteopathic medicine conference in California. One of the presenters from Italy shared about the natural processes of the body to release trauma.

Do you know that the fear response in your body (called “fight-or-flight”) can make you sick and keep you from healing?
In medicine we often focus on the superficial symptoms: pain, fatigue, anxiety… and try to “turn them off” so we don’t have those symptoms anymore.
Today I had an amazing Skype session with a client who has been dealing with what her doctor calls “reactive arthritis.” She’s living in severe pain and fearing what might happen over the next 10 years.
The biggest thing that prevents us from maintaining a sense of harmony, peace, and wellbeing is FEAR. Fear is that sense in the body that tells us: “There’s something wrong! Stop! It’s not okay!”
One of the most powerful ways to allow your body to heal and release physical, emotional, or mental pain is to stop trying to get out of pain and simply be with your body.
