BRWhy does somatic shaking work?
Your nervous system has built-in mechanisms for processing stress. In the wild, animals instinctively shake after a stressful event to reset their bodies (I've seen my dog do it!).
Humans, however, tend to suppress this natural response, causing stress to get stuck in the body. Somatic shaking helps complete the stress cycle and bring the nervous system back to regulation.
Here's how it supports your beautiful nervous system:
✅ Releases stored trauma from the body
✅ Activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest mode)
✅ Reduces anxiety and stress
✅ Helps move out of freeze or shutdown states
✅ Brings awareness back into the body
