Is it possible to change timeline by releasing stress-related trauma and overwhelm from the body?

Trauma and stress can have a profound impact on our physical and mental health. They can lead to a variety of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and difficulty sleeping. In some cases, trauma and stress can even lead to addiction.

  • What is trauma and stress?

Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that can have a lasting impact on a person's physical and emotional health. Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension that last long term after traumatic episode happen. Both trauma and stress can lead to a variety of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, physical pain, and difficulty sleeping.

  • How can TRE and somatic breathwork help?

Trauma and stress can cause the body to go into a state of "fight-or-flight," which can lead to muscle tension and other physical symptoms. TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises) and somatic breathwork are two techniques that can help to release this tension and reduce the symptoms of trauma and stress.


Peter Levine is a pioneer in the field of trauma therapy,

the founder of Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-based approach to healing trauma.


Levine believes that trauma is not just a mental or emotional experience, but also a physical one. When we experience a traumatic event, our bodies go into a state of "fight-or-flight." This is a natural survival response, but it can sometimes become stuck. When this happens, the trauma can become stored in the body, leading to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms.

SE helps people to release the trauma that is stored in their bodies. Levine believes that the key to healing trauma is to help people to access and process the physical sensations that are associated with the traumatic event. This can be done through a variety of techniques, such as gentle movement, breathwork, and touch.


SE has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of trauma-related conditions, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. It is a gentle and effective approach to healing trauma that can help people to reclaim their lives.
