Welcome to "Trauma Informed," a weekly podcast hosted by Russ, a trauma-informed somatic coach from MindBodySpirit, LLC. In this episode, Russ guides listeners through an exercise designed to help recognize and alleviate trauma responses.
Russ begins by encouraging listeners to tune into their body's natural state, focusing on their chest, heart rate, and breathing without making any changes. He then introduces a visualization technique to identify what a trigger feels like in the body.
To counteract these feelings, Russ teaches a simple yet effective exercise involving gentle tapping on the chest and humming, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system and promotes a sense of calm and safety. He explains the science behind this method, emphasizing the role of the vagus nerve and the importance of extending the out-breath.
This episode provides practical tools for managing stress and trauma, helping listeners return to a state of safety and calm. Whether preparing for a challenging meeting or just needing to center yourself, these techniques are easy to implement in daily life.
Join us for this insightful episode of "Trauma Informed" and learn how to navigate your body's responses to trauma more effectively.
