You cannot talk your way out of a physiological hijack. You have to regulate first.

Relationships don't fall apart because people don't care. They unravel because nervous systems take over. 🧠

In Slide 3, we break down "Protection Mode." When your nervous system perceives a threat, your logical brain shuts down to let your survival brain take the wheel. You aren't fighting your partner; you are fighting for survival.

Drop a 🧠 if you’ve ever felt your body take over a conversation.

Our FREE Embodied Relationships Summit: Building Secure Love & Healing Attachment Wounds starts TODAY at 10 am ET.

Chemistry gets you in the room; compatibility keeps you there.

Chemistry is a physiological state. Compatibility is a relational practice. đŸ§Ș

Slide 2 is a prompt from Jillian Turecki that every practitioner (and seeker) needs to answer.

Fill in the blank: "The one thing I refuse to compromise on for 'chemistry' is ________." 👇

Authenticity is the only sustainable foundation for secure attachment.

If you have to "shrink" to keep the peace, the peace is a lie. đŸ„€

Dr. Sara Kuburic gives us a powerful reminder: Self-loss is a betrayal of your own identity. Your nervous system keeps the score of every time you said "yes" when your body meant "no".

Can a relationship survive if one person is constantly "shrinking"? Debate it with us. 👇

A relationship without conflict isn't "perfect"—it's often just "Functional Freeze".

Conflict isn’t the end of a relationship—it’s the requirement for the next level of intimacy. đŸ› ïž

As Mark Groves shares that we don't need to avoid the fire; we need to learn how to walk through it without burning the house down.

Are you reacting from PROTECTION (A) or CONNECTION (B) today? Comment A or B. 👇

If it feels like a rollercoaster, it’s probably a trauma bond, not a soulmate.

Most of us were taught that "butterflies" mean we’ve found "The One." But somatically, those butterflies are often just a survival signal. 🩋

Dr. Nicole LePera challenges the rom-com narrative: Authentic love is grounded, not frantic. When we prioritize the "spark" over safety, we often overlook the nervous system’s need for regulation.

Do you agree, or is the spark a non-negotiable for you? Weigh in below! 👇

The body keeps the score—and parts work gives us the map to heal it.

Join us January 18th for a free, full-day online summit exploring how EMDR therapy and body-based practices work together to heal trauma. 🔗 Reserve your spot for FREE: https://f.mtr.cool/aalcpomwog

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. David Grand, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Dr. ChinwĂ© Williams, and more will share practical tools you can use immediately—from somatic interventions that deepen EMDR installation, to culturally responsive strategies for treating stress and trauma.

Just a day of learning with world-class faculty and a global community of practitioners.

$200 OFF until Monday January 12 — 5-Day Somatic Trauma Healing Intensive

Five days in the redwoods. Six master clinicians. The kind of training that changes how you work.

Join us at 1440 Multiversity in Scotts Valley, CA (March 30 – April 3, 2026) for an immersive experience designed around your growth edge — not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Train with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Dr. Frank Anderson, Kai Cheng Thom, Licia Sky, and Dr. Scott Lyons as they guide you through the integration of parts work, EMDR-informed methods, and somatic practices.

This isn't lecture-based learning. You'll engage in live demonstrations, advanced skill-building, case consultations, and experiential practices — developing the clinical discernment to know which fragment to engage first, which approach to use in the moment, and how to hold the larger arc of healing while working with a single piece.

The venue matters too: 75 acres of century-old redwoods, plant-based meals, infinity hot tub, and the kind of spaciousness that lets deep learning land.

Trauma reshapes the brain—disrupting how we feel in our bodies, how we know ourselves, and how we connect with others.
Talk alone can't rewire these systems. But the body can.

This March, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Licia Sky, and Dr. Scott Lyons come together for a rare, in-person immersion in Los Angeles into the neuroscience and somatic practice of trauma recovery.

You'll leave with more than insight—you'll leave with embodied tools to restore safety, regulation, and resilience in yourself and the people you work with.

📍 In-person seats are extremely limited.
