EH Therapy - For your mind, body and nervous system

17/07/2025

Traumatic experiences often involve a lack of choice. Invasion of your physical, psychological or emotional boundaries is a familiar experience for many people with an experience of trauma.

That's why even the most well-intentioned yoga and movement classes can be difficult. Praise and correction, encouragement to try things and physical assists come as standard in many classes and, don't get me wrong, they definitely have a place in many a wonderful yoga class. However, for people who are coping with the impact of trauma, these elements can feel like evaluation, coercion and a lack of safety.

This is where trauma-sensitive practice comes in. It needs to be different. I work hard to facilitate in a way that prioritises autonomy, supports self-inquiry, and trusts that healing emerges through choice, not control.

The SomaSoul Project is built on these principles. That's why you can make choices about what elements of the programme you attend, when you practice with the recordings and how much you engage in sessions - so that you can be part of something in a way that works for you and your nervous system. 🧡🌱

I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be trauma-sensitive. It is an aspect of my therapy and yoga work that I put a lot of reflection into.

A core part of that is the way that I use yoga as a therapeutic tool. I am trained to facilitate a model of treatment called TCTSY. I love it, and feedback from my clients and participants tell me that it can have a wonderful impact on people's experience of grounding, safety and the world around them.

TCTSY is at the core of EH Therapy and The SomaSoul Project 🧡

I wanted to repost this from a post by Center for Trauma and Embodiment for those of us who like to get in to the detail:

TCTSY is not just a model of trauma sensitive yoga though - it's one of the most validated treatments for PTSD in the world.

In a 2024 systematic review, researchers started with 998 eligible papers published between 1992-2022. After applying their standards, only 4 interventions were highlighted as having "longitudinal impact on PTSD." Three of those were cognitively-based therapies, the gold standard of care (CPT, PE and ART) - and then came TCTSY. TCTSY is a total flip-of-the-script in that it is body-based and not cognitively-based but the researchers single it out as one of the most promising approaches to trauma care to emerge in the past 30-years. You can learn TCTSY with us! hashtag hashtag https://lnkd.in/ebKeJH-p

It's fair to say that websites and forms aren't my favourite part of my job...luckily there are loads of other parts that I really love!

So whilst I get my head down and make it possible for you to sign up for The SomaSoul Project, have a little nosey at the timetable, which starts 8th September. 🌱

My colleagues Lesley ( Lesley Butlin Psychotherapy, Coaching & Supervision ) and Jordan ( JM Talking Therapy ) are leading this event later in the month.

Definitely worth a look if you're looking for some peace, reflection and connection in your summer schedule. And let's be honest, most of us could do with a little more of all of those things!

ℹ️🌿 HOW TO VENT TO YOUR FRIENDS WITHOUT BRINGING THEM DOWN |

So you’ve had a really bad day. Maybe it’s because of the annoying work drama you got sucked into, or you’re reeling from an intense argument with a parent or partner. No matter what’s got you worked up, a good old-fashioned vent session with a friend can be a comforting way to blow off steam and talk it out.

This means that sometimes you might hit up your closest pals with the nitty-gritty details of childhood trauma, say, or a difficult breakup, in hopes that they can at least make you feel a little better. But have you ever stopped to think about the emotional toll venting can take on those on the receiving end?
