In this episode, I sit down with Janice Eisman, a trauma-sensitive movement specialist, to discuss how trauma is stored in the body and why addressing it through movement is a vital part of the healing process. Janice shares her expertise in trauma-sensitive yoga, a powerful tool for those experiencing lingering effects of loss, grief, or trauma. Together, we explore how movement can help release stored emotions, soothe the nervous system, and support those navigating life after baby loss.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The difference between trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive movement.
- How trauma is stored in the body and why talk therapy alone may not resolve it.
- Practical techniques, such as rhythm and choice, to help calm the nervous system and process emotions.
- How trauma-sensitive yoga differs from traditional exercise or yoga classes.
- Why reconnecting with your body after loss can feel challenging but transformative.
- How this approach can support those preparing for pregnancy after loss.
Key Highlights:
- Trauma-sensitive movement focuses on empowering individuals to regain a sense of control through choice and gentle, rhythmic movements.
- Trauma can manifest physically even when we feel mentally "healed," and movement can be a vital tool to help release those lingering effects.
- Janice discusses why feeling disconnected from or even angry at your body is a normal response to loss—and how gentle movement can help rebuild that connection.
- Strategies include simple exercises like arm movements, spinal rotations, and rhythmic actions to help the body release stored emotions and promote healing.
- This method is evidence-based, with proven techniques to calm the nervous system and integrate trauma into your life rather than letting it define you.
Resources Mentioned:
- The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk (book recommendation for understanding trauma).
- Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY): Visit their website for certified practitioners and additional resources.
