Have you ever felt like you’re going round in circles, understanding why you feel the way you do, yet still reacting in the same way?

Talk therapy can be a lifeline. It helps us make sense of our experiences and is often the first step towards healing.

But sometimes, understanding something intellectually isn’t enough to change how your body responds.

You can know you’re safe and understand your triggers, yet still feel your heart race, your chest tighten or that familiar urge to escape.

Because knowing you’re safe and feeling safe in your body aren’t always the same thing.

This is where somatic work can help.

The word somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning the body. It brings the body into the healing process, helping us work with physical sensations, emotions and automatic responses, rather than only talking about what’s happened.

Think about anger. You can talk about someone crossing your boundaries, but if feeling that anger still overwhelms you, understanding the story alone might not change your response.

The real shift comes when we learn to work with our bodies.

Instead of suppressing an emotion or trying to escape it, we learn to pause, notice what’s happening inside us and stay present with the feeling, a little at a time.

As our capacity grows, we can move from fearing an emotion to feeling it, allowing its intensity to change without being swept away by it.

We begin to learn that an uncomfortable feeling isn’t necessarily a dangerous one, and that we don’t have to push it away.

This is why I love EFT tapping. By tapping on specific acupressure points while acknowledging what we’re thinking and feeling, we practise meeting difficult emotions differently. Over time, this may help reduce distress and change how we respond to triggers.

Healing isn’t about never feeling anxious, angry or sad. It’s about learning to feel without being consumed by those feelings.

Trauma isn’t defined by how “big” or “small” something looks from the outside. It’s defined by how supported our nervous system felt in the moment.

When something overwhelming happens and there isn’t enough safety, connection, or capacity to cope, the nervous system adapts through protection.

That protection might look like:

• Anxiety or hypervigilance
• Shutdown or numbness
• People pleasing or fawning
• Control, perfectionism, or overthinking
• Chronic tension or physical symptoms

None of these are signs of weakness. They are intelligent survival responses that developed to help us cope when something felt too much to manage.

Trauma can develop when we have to carry an experience without enough support to process what happened and feel safe again.

Because the nervous system learns through experience, not logic alone, it can continue to protect us long after the original moment has passed.

This is why healing isn’t about forcing yourself to move on, let it go, or simply think differently.

Healing happens when we give the body new experiences of safety, gently and consistently, through co regulation, safe relationships, compassionate awareness, and learning to be with our emotions without feeling overwhelmed.

Over time, our body can begin to learn that we are safe enough to soften, that we have support, and that we don’t have to remain on high alert.

Slowly, we begin to feel something different.

I’m not alone anymore. I don’t have to cope with everything by myself.

This is how we begin to heal, through safety, support, and presence.

If you recognise yourself in this and would like deeper support with your nervous system, comment GROUND below and I’ll share a resource to help you begin.

The way we begin to heal the fear-avoidance cycle is by learning to flex trust.

And this is about so much more than our emotions or physical sensations. It might be avoiding public speaking, putting off an event that makes you anxious, or feeling overwhelmed by a room you need to tidy.

When our brain perceives something as a threat, we naturally want to escape it. Avoidance can bring temporary relief, but it can also reinforce the brain’s belief that the thing we avoided really was dangerous.

This is where brain retraining comes in.

We begin to gently teach the brain something new, not by forcing ourselves through fear, but by approaching the things we avoid in small, manageable steps.

This is called titration. We work in doses that feel manageable, gradually building our capacity to experience discomfort without immediately needing to escape it.

Each time we do this, we have an opportunity to create a new experience, helping the brain develop a different association with what once felt threatening.

Over time, we can begin to build trust in ourselves and our ability to navigate life’s experiences.

This is exactly what we’ll be exploring together inside Rewire, my 21-day brain retraining journey, where we’ll practise these skills and begin creating new patterns, one small step at a time.

Did you know that the tears you cry when you’re upset are different from the tears your eyes produce to keep them lubricated or wash away an irritant?

Your eyes continuously produce basal tears to keep them moist and protected. When you chop an onion or get dust in your eye, your body produces reflex tears to help flush out the irritant.

But emotional tears are different.

They’re produced in response to feelings such as sadness, grief, frustration, relief and even overwhelming happiness. They contain water, salts, proteins and other biological substances, and research has found differences in their composition compared with other types of tears.

And this brings me to something important.

What if you’ve spent years learning to suppress one of your body’s most natural emotional responses?

Perhaps you were told not to cry, that you were being dramatic, or that you needed to pull yourself together. Maybe you learned to swallow your tears and carry on, even when something inside you was hurting.

Over time, you can become so accustomed to pushing feelings away that simply sitting with sadness, discomfort or unfamiliar sensations in your body feels overwhelming.

But you don’t have to fight every feeling or rush yourself towards feeling better. You can gently learn to be with what you’re experiencing, without immediately needing to escape it, fix it or make it disappear.

This is at the heart of my 21-day Rewire, beginning on 16th November.

Together, we’ll explore gentle somatic practices to help retrain your body’s responses to sensations, symptoms and feelings, gradually building your capacity to be with these experiences without automatically interpreting them as a threat.

It’s not about forcing yourself to feel more, or making uncomfortable feelings disappear. It’s about developing a different relationship with your body, learning to meet yourself with compassion and discovering that you can experience difficult feelings without having to fight your way through them.

Because you deserve to feel safer within yourself, too.

Comment GROUND and I’ll send you my free somatic practice, which includes one of my favourite EFT practices for calming a busy mind in the evening.

Do you get into bed feeling exhausted, but your brain is still going a million miles an hour? Or perhaps you fall asleep, only to wake up at 2 or 3am with your mind suddenly wide awake, thinking about everything you need to do, or wake up in the morning already feeling anxious before the day has even begun?

When we’re under ongoing stress, our nervous system can remain in a state of alertness, and that can affect how easily we settle into sleep and how rested we feel when we wake up.

This is why I’m such a big believer in learning how to work with our bodies, rather than expecting ourselves to simply switch off because it’s bedtime.

For me, gentle somatic movement, like twisting, shaking and rhythmic movement, is one way of helping my body release some of the tension I’ve been carrying throughout the day. Alongside slower breathing and practices that help me feel grounded, it gives me a little space between the busyness of the day and the rest my body needs.

And whilst cortisol naturally follows a daily rhythm, and early morning cortisol rises as part of our normal waking response, ongoing stress and disrupted sleep can become a difficult cycle to get caught in.

The aim isn’t to force yourself to relax or to get your nervous system perfectly regulated overnight. It’s about building little moments into your day where your body can begin to recognise that it doesn’t have to stay switched on all the time.

If this sounds familiar, comment GROUND and I’ll send it over.

Your nervous system is deciding whether you’re safe hundreds of times a day.

And you’re not consciously involved in any of it.

Stephen Porges called this neuroception.
👉It’s your body quietly scanning the world around you, and inside you, asking one question.
Am I safe right now?

When life has been calm and supportive your body doesn’t have to work very hard at this.

But if you grew up walking on eggshells, or you’ve lived through years of stress, illness or loss, your body adjusts.

It turns the sensitivity right up.
It would rather react to a hundred false alarms than miss one real threat.🚨

That’s not a fault. It’s your body doing its job brilliantly, based on what it learned previously.

The trouble is, it doesn’t automatically update when life gets safer.

You can be sitting on your own sofa, nothing wrong, and still be braced like something’s about to happen with a tight chest, clenched jaw or a sudden wave of dread out of nowhere.

So how does it update?

Not through being told.
Through being shown.

Every small moment where your body feels safe, really feels it, is a piece of new evidence.
One moment won’t shift much.

But repeated day after day, those moments start to change what your nervous system expects. That’s neuroplasticity. Your body’s wiring is always learning.

This is what it looks like in real life, too.
The old reaction doesn’t usually vanish overnight.
It just starts to pass quicker.
It’s a bit less intense.
You catch it sooner.
And one day you realise something that would have floored you last year barely registered.

That’s what bottom up healing looks like. It’s not one massive leap or golden win. It’s small, subtle and going on almost without your realising it, until one day you look back on how much has changed.

This is the heart of The 21 Day Anxiety and Pain Rewire, starting on 16th November. 21 days of gentle practices to help retrain how your body reacts to threat and help your body feel the safe to move out of survival once and for all. Because when we do, you not only feel calmer, your symptoms ease to.

Comment RETRAIN and I’ll add you to the waitlist.

We’re so often told our pain is structural.

The disc. The posture. The old injury. The way you sleep. The way you sit at your desk.

So you do everything right.
👉You buy the new pillow.
👉You book the physio.
👉You stretch every morning before the kids wake up. 👉You google your symptoms at 11pm and read every forum going.

And still it comes back.🔄

Here’s the missing link I see over and over again.

Our pain is not always just about the tissues. Studies have shown that lots of people walk around with disc bulges and wear and tear on their scans and feel absolutely no pain at all. And plenty of people are in real pain with scans that look completely clear.

That’s because pain isn’t only a message from the body part. It’s a decision your brain makes based on everything it’s picking up. How safe you feel. How stretched you are. What you’re carrying that nobody else can see.

When we hyperfocus on the sensation, checking it, scanning for it, bracing against it, waiting for it to flare, we’re actually telling our brain to keep watching. Keep guarding. Keep the volume turned up.

This isn’t me saying your pain is in your head. Your pain is real. Always get it checked properly.

But if you’ve done all of that and you’re still stuck, it might be time to look at the bigger picture. Your stress. Your nervous system. The parts of your life that feel too heavy right now.

Because when your body starts to feel safe again, your brain no longer needs to shout so loudly to get your attention.

That’s where real change begins.

Comment GROUND and I’ll send you my free somatic practice. It’s a gentle first step in teaching your brain it’s no longer under threat, and you can start it today.

With love
