COURSE
Healing Trauma From The Body: An Intro To Somatic Therapy
With Orit Krug
Have you spent years trying to heal past trauma, but you still feel stuck? You may have an incredible amount of self-awareness, but perhaps you don’t feel different inside your body. You may often feel anxious, numb, disconnected, heavy, or other uncomfortable sensations. If this sounds like you, please know that it’s not your fault. While traditional therapies can be helpful for many people, it is often not enough to fully process trauma. If you’ve been in talk therapy for decades, but still feel stuck, this is not a reflection of you. Cognitive therapies often can’t access body-stored trauma, leaving many people feeling frustrated and hopeless about healing. The latest trauma research shows that embodied & somatic therapies are the most effective and efficient way to wholly release trauma and create the shift most people want to FEEL: light, open, free, and safe inside their skin. In this course, I will share the research that shows why talk therapy isn’t enough and why somatic therapy is crucial for integrated mind-body healing. I will share this information in a language that is easy to absorb. You’ll also be introduced to a movement-based process that can help you start feeling some of the embodied shifts that are necessary to truly heal trauma.

I felt save to move through my fears and never heard from this method to become free of stored fears. I liked to learn how to handle upcoming fear by moving through it instead of running away or freeze. Thank you very much for this wonderful course 🙏. I love it!

Even though the course is only 2 lessons it’s really helped me to understand how to connect with my body to understand trauma which is deeply held and ways to help release this. I’ve have become an advocate for movement as a healing tool through the course because of the meditations used to cement the learning. I would recommend the course to anyone who may feel stuck in their healing.

This practice is unlike anything that I have experienced before. Learning to connect my emotions with my body and the ability to address the things that have long been stored within me, has been simply astonishing. Thank you for the work that you do. I look forward to learning more. 💛✨️

Wow… I can’t believe how much I got out of just two days! It honestly felt like so much more because of how powerful it was. I came away feeling so inspired and excited to find something that feels like it will finally work!. I’d jump at the chance to do more of this—thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Fantastic two days course. You have made it a lot easier to understand trauma as I have been through numerous talk therapies and it didnt work even if I did make progress.

I have been doing somatic trauma yoga and also lots of meditations to help me cope with anxiety but this course gave me some great guidance about to move through the fear, even with micro-movements. I tend to freeze when in fear. Too bad the course wasn't a bit longer. :) Thank you

This course and some of Orit’s other courses have helped me move through some trauma that have been in the body for years - nothing else seemed to work! Talking just seemed to make it worse, honestly, but it feels like these sessions really tap into something deeper and I feel different as a result. Thanks Orit! I’ll continue to do these classes over and over I think!

Perhaps the real way to finally heal old wounds trapped in your body's cellular memories. Very refreshing and thought-provoking. A taster for more work in this area.

I’ve always had trouble taking up space and being expressive through movement, but this course has given me the confidence to feel like those are things I can actually improve upon instead of just accepting.
