Trauma Of Obedience: Somatic Cost Of Silencing Yourself
by Ana Mael
Today, we will explore how unexpressed healthy anger is stored in our mouth and pelvis. Our main survival protection mechanism is often to become voiceless, ensuring our safety in environments where speaking up feels dangerous. Drawing from my personal and professional experience, I’ll share insights on how this manifests, especially for those who come from families with a culture of obedience, where one is expected to be seen but not heard. This talk aims to help you understand and recognize these patterns within yourself. As we move through this series, my hope is that you gain valuable insights and nuggets of wisdom, empowering you to liberate your voice and reclaim your right to speak up. Your journey to vocal freedom and self-expression is an essential part of healing and personal growth.
