"There is a growing emphasis on expression—on releasing, purging, acting out what has been repressed. And while expression has its place, something essential is being misunderstood. Because expression alone does not reorganize the psyche.

In fact, without a holding environment—without the capacity to stay present in the body—these expressions can become patterned. Familiar. Even addictive. The system learns, “This is what we do with this energy.” But it does not learn anything new.

This is why catharsis, on its own, often leads to repetition—the same anger, the same shame, the same cycles, just enacted more consciously or more dramatically.

Integration asks something much more subtle. Not: how do I express this? But: can I stay with this?

Can I feel this in the body without collapsing into it? Can I remain in relationship with it, without needing to discharge it immediately?"

Insulin isn't just made in the pancreas, but is secreted into cerebrospinal fluid from the choroid plexi, and is produced in other brain cells.

From birth, your tongue is connected to your toes through an intricate network of fascia. If your tongue is not resting correctly in your mouth, things can get out of alignment in your mouth and the rest of your body.

Tongue posture can lead to a foot imbalance and vice versa because the tongue guides all myofascial continuity structures that run from the inner arch of the foot up through the middle of the body to the tongue and jaw muscles.

When the tongue sits on top of the palate, it seals the oral cavity and holds the throat open like a tent. These muscles support the neck, keep your posture straight, help you breathe, and maintain your posture upright.

Your tongue also acts as a rudder and support system through a fascial line, and when the tongue is down, we breathe through our mouth, and the head falls forward due to lack of support, which leads to poor posture and increased energy expenditure.

Ten sessions of craniosacral therapy resulted in a statistically greater improvement in pain intensity, hemoglobin oxygen saturation, systolic blood pressure, serum potassium, and magnesium level than did 10 sessions of classic massage in patients with low back pain.
