is there proof? Is there proof that trauma is stored in the body? Is there proof that this work of working somatically with the body and the nervous system can resolve trauma?And the context, I’ll read the context. There’s a couple of different contexts. One, they were asking about their mentor who was a neuroplastic pain specialist, said last night on a live call that, “Although he loves somatic work and thinks it’s really helpful, he doesn’t think that stress or emotions or traumas can get stuck in the body, fascia, bones, muscles, organs, et cetera, because cells in the body do not have memory receptors.” Something like that. “For him, everything comes from the brain, and say, if you massage a painful area or do some somatic work, it will calm the danger alarm mechanism of the brain, which will create the release.”And then another one who said that they really are excited about this work because they’re seeing the results, and they want to share it with their friends, but they’re hesitant to, because they’re not sure if they can provide proof. People are going to ask for evidence and what’s the proof. “I’m concerned about being seen as woo woo.” Yes. “Could you please provide some references for studies that show that trauma is stored in the body and that these tools to release the stored energy improves the autonomic nervous system.”

I saw a short video on Irene’s Instagram where the vagus nerve was mentioned, and Irene said something about the vagus nerve being very popular to work with today. But her expression hinted about this not being enough. I’m very interested in knowing about her reaction to vagus nerve techniques.
