Held: A Somatic Journey Back To Yourself

This lesson explores how the body responds to stress and overwhelm through the four core survival states of freeze, fight, flight and fawn. You will learn how these reactions form, why they appear without conscious choice and how they relate to trauma, safety and nervous system health. This session offers a gentle, trauma-informed understanding of your patterns, helping you recognise your responses with clarity rather than self-judgement.

This lesson introduces interoception, the ability to sense your internal world through breath, sensation, and subtle nervous system cues. You will learn how the body communicates long before the mind forms thoughts, and how to recognise small shifts that show your true state. This session supports deeper self-awareness and a more compassionate relationship with your body.

This lesson explores titration and capacity, two core principles in somatic healing. You will learn why small, manageable doses of sensation support the nervous system more effectively than intensity, and how working at the edge of your limits helps your body integrate change safely. This session introduces titration, capacity and pendulation in a gentle and trauma-informed way, helping you understand how to meet your inner experience without overwhelm.

This lesson explores how the body recognises safety through small physical cues such as softening, grounding and the gentle settling of the breath. You will learn how safety is experienced in the nervous system, why grounding supports regulation, and how to work with the signals that help your body return to steadiness. This session offers a calm and trauma-informed approach to building a sense of inner safety.

This lesson explores how emotion first appears as sensation in the body and how to meet those sensations without overwhelm. You will learn how to recognise the physical shapes of emotion, why the nervous system can shut down or intensify during strong feelings, and how titration supports safe emotional processing. This session offers a gentle, body-based way to understand and move through emotion with more ease.

This lesson explores how the nervous system settles through both self regulation and co regulation. You will learn how the body responds to supportive presence, why connection creates a sense of safety, and how to use grounding, breath and gentle awareness to steady yourself. This session offers a calming and trauma-informed understanding of how we soothe and are soothed.

This final lesson explores integration, the gentle process of allowing your body to absorb what you have learned over the past days. You will reflect on the shifts in your breath, your awareness and your sense of safety, and understand how healing continues long after the course ends. This session offers a soft closing, a moment of gratitude, and an invitation to keep moving at your own pace with the practices that support you.
