Episode Details

TRIGGER WARNING - In this episode, I talk upon the impact that trauma can subconsciously have on our body (putting us into a state of contraction to protect us). I briefly mention sexual abuse and accidents, but do not go into any detail.

Join Ellie for a slightly heavier episode this time, where she discusses her thoughts on how trauma gets stuck in your body, how having a stuck body can cause a trauma response and the dramatic process of working trauma out of the body through posture exercises and releases. It's intense but very powerful stuff.

BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS

Dr Gabor Mate - When the Body Says No (re. how stress manifests as disease)

Dr Jagdeep Johal - Ease (easy read re. how trauma gets stuck in the body)

Bessel Van Der Kolk - The Body Keeps the Score (not mentioned but also re. how trauma gets stuck in the body - this is much more heavy than Ease though)

If you ever have any thoughts or questions about anything you'd like covered on 'Posture-lating' then please do get in touch with Ellie!
