Tanya Zajdel – Somatic Therapies For Trauma Healing

Heal from the Inside Out with Somatic Therapy Techniques for Trauma

Trauma is more than a memory—it’s a lived experience etched into our nervous system and physical body. Somatic Therapies for Trauma Healing is a powerful, science-based program designed to gently release trauma held within the body through movement, breath, awareness, and embodied connection.

Backed by research and the teachings of Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, and other trauma specialists, this experiential program helps you or your clients access relief and regulation that traditional talk therapy alone may not provide.

🌿 What You’ll Gain

This 10-minute-a-day program uses somatic practices to:

Calm the trauma-affected nervous system

Ease anxiety, overwhelm, and dissociation

Release trauma stored in muscles, tissues, and the immune system

Reduce flashbacks and intrusive thoughts

Rebuild body trust, awareness, and emotional resilience

Deepen presence, groundedness, and self-agency

Whether you’re a trauma survivor, therapist, or holistic healer, this course invites you to create safety, connection, and healing in the body—without needing to rehash traumatic memories.

💠 What Makes Somatic Therapy So Effective?

During trauma recall, Broca’s area—the brain’s language center—often shuts down. This explains why survivors may struggle to verbalize their experience. Somatic therapies offer an alternative: a bottom-up approach that focuses on the body’s felt sense rather than storytelling.

These practices include:

Breathwork

Meditation

Movement

Visualization

Touch-based healing

Somatic therapy empowers survivors to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and experience healing from the inside out.
