2. Somatic Practices
These restore the body’s ability to discharge stress:
• TRE (tremor release)
• shaking intuitively
• rocking
• crawling
• gentle rolling on the floor
• slow spiralic movements
• pendulation (moving between discomfort + safety)

Trauma is stuck survival energy.
Movement lets it discharge.

3. Touch & Pressure
• weighted blankets
• self-holding
• gentle compression on ribs
• massaging the jaw
• myofascial release

Touch communicates:
You are safe now.
