Highlighted moments

The somatic memory of what our body holds onto is in the form of tension and constriction and sensations.
you can't just tell yourself, Oh, I'm safe. You know, I'll be fine, or muscle your way through. It's like the body needs to be included
somatics doesn't view the person as a client, they view them as a human and the symptoms are not a disorder or disease of anxiety, depression. What it is, is a symptom that's coming from a nervous system that doesn't feel safe.
it's not enough to just remove the threat, we have to bring in safety.
