🤗Follow along if you’re interested in learning more about our bodies’ common "holding sites" for unresolved stress and survival responses.

👉If you’re curious about how your early life experiences may be connected to areas of chronic pain or tension in adulthood,

I invite you to join me for this series as we take a brief look at the muscle groups frequently highlighted as common sites for "holding" unresolved stress and survival responses 🩵.

🔴One wolf is red…

Restless, reactive, quick to defend.

It carries anger, shame, fear, sharp judgments.

⚪The other wolf is white.

Present, patient, curious.

It holds compassion, perspective, and care.

👉The question is not always: "Which one are you feeding?" -

Because the red wolf might not be hungry, but guarding something vulnerable.

💡The question is: "why is the red wolf pacing in the first place?

Because when this is finally seen, the wolf often stops trying to attack everything in sight. 🐺

👉Unresolved developmental trauma influences the body via fascia, posture, muscle systems and autonomic responses.

In somatic therapy and trauma research, certain muscle groups are frequently highlighted as common sites for "holding" unresolved stress and survival responses.

These "holding" patterns emerge because the body adapts to perceived ongoing threat by tightening or collapsing in protective ways. 🛡️

In each part of this series we will highlight a different muscle group and explore its relationship to unresolved developmental trauma.

I hope you find it insightful 🤗.

👉Important note - this is NOT a criticism of my client, but an invitation to contemplate how our view of progress / expectations around healing may have been shaped.

Stability isn’t nearly as “spectacular” as instability.

If you’ve spent years in survival mode, your nervous system might actually crave chaos because it’s where you feel most "alive." ⚡

This is the High - Intensity Trap.

💡We mistake the adrenaline of survival for purpose, and the quiet of a regulated system for "nothing is happening."

Healing work doesn't need "grand" or loud experiences to be meaningful.

It can be found in the quiet safety of your own skin. 🩵

If this resonates, I invite you to reflect on this:

Is your "peace" feeling a little too quiet?

👉If you’re curious about how your early life experiences may be connected to areas of chronic pain or tension in adulthood, I invite you to follow me on this journey of exploring “the path less travelled” 👣.

💡Did you know your body has three powerful rotational muscle systems built into its fascial network?

They allow us to twist, turn, and move with grace and power.

Unresolved stress, shock, or injury can create restrictions in these fascial lines, leading to chronic tension, pain, postural imbalances, and even emotional holding patterns.

👉The body always remembers what the mind tries to forget.

👉When you avoid conflict, you’re often protecting:

🔸Someone else’s comfort

🔹Someone else's self-image

🔸The system’s stability

But not your own integrity.

Suppressed truth doesn’t feel like calm; it feels like tension held in place - jaw tight, chest shallow, a subtle bracing that never fully turns off ⚡.

Does harmony require you to disappear?

💡Then it isn’t harmony — it’s erasure.

So yes, the question matters:

Whose peace am I keeping — and what happens to me in the process? 🩵

💡Secure attachment isn’t abundance. It’s continuity.

The felt sense that connection returns. 💫

Somatic healing doesn’t argue with scarcity.

It meets the body where it learned it. 🩵

👆This little piece that I played with a couple of colleagues came to mind recently while contemplating the kind of resonance that I feel while performing, and how that resonance shows up in other aspects of life.

🎹When I perform, several things are happening simultaneously:

Attention is fully embodied (hands, breath, spine, hearing).

Time perception softens.

Effort drops while precision increases.

I'm neither performing for nor collapsing into the audience.

There is contact — with the instrument, the sound, myself, the other performers, the room and the audience.

Neurobiologically, this is a coherent, high-integration state.

It is resonance.

💡This same resonance is available in somatic trauma work.

Healing is about restoring the conditions that make resonance possible through attention, softening, quiet aliveness and perception depth💠.
