In this episode of Healing CPTSD, we dive into the fascinating process of somatic trauma releases — how the body holds onto unresolved survival energy and the ways it naturally discharges and recalibrates when given the right conditions.

We’ll explore how these releases differ from simply reliving trauma, and the many forms they can take — whether it’s a small, subtle shift like a trembling hand or softened jaw, or a more cathartic, dramatic experience. I’ll also talk about why integration is key, the importance of staying within your window of tolerance, and how safe, supportive environments make all the difference in healing.

This episode is here to help you better understand your body’s wisdom and remind you that release doesn’t always look big or dramatic — it just needs presence, safety and space.


Episode highlights:

  • What somatic trauma releases are (and what they aren’t)

  • The spectrum of release: from subtle shifts to cathartic discharges

  • Why we don’t need to attach meaning or story for healing to happen

  • The role of integration in nervous system regulation

  • Understanding the window of tolerance

    • How safety and support shape the healing process
