<b>How Trauma Gets Stored in the Body (and How to Release It)</b> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/tTdzqCQQ/1781122510041.png" width="600" /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/qFxCrhjn/IMG-20260611-WA0036.jpg" width="600" /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/MkgmkTFC/IMG-20260611-WA0037.jpg" width="600" /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/ycx5Drw1/IMG-20260611-WA0038.jpg" width="600" /> Developed by Peter Levine, <a href="https://resetbehavioralhealth.com/therapy-options/somatic-experiencing-therapy/"> somatic experiencing</a> works specifically by helping clients track physical sensations associated with their traumatic responses and allows the survival energy that was never discharged to move through the body in a safe, graduated way. Levine's model draws partly on observations of wild animals, who routinely shake, tremble, and breathe heavily after a near-death encounter, physically completing the survival cycle before returning to calm behavior. Humans, he proposed, often suppress that completion through social conditioning and conscious control, leaving the energy stuck. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/218R01t3/IMG-20260611-WA0039.jpg" width="600" /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/84jnzd1B/IMG-20260611-011640.jpg" width="600" />
