What does it feel like to live without support – not emotionally, but physically, in your body?
This week on Mastering Change, Betsy Polatin, somatic educator and breathwork specialist, explores how trauma takes away our sense of being supported – and how to reconnect with the forces that hold us.
“Trauma takes away our universal support. When we feel ourselves be supported, we don’t need to hold ourselves up on our own.”
Betsy explains how clients often describe the absence of support as tension in the shoulders – and walks us through a grounding exercise to begin rebuilding that felt sense of safety.
We also explore:
- What “support” feels like in the body
- How trauma changes posture and breathing patterns
- Reconnecting with the physical environment to regulate the nervous system
- The power of letting go – and allowing yourself to be held
