Participating in the SBSM Movement Pod helped me to find my own voice while being aware of the feeling/sensation of shame, terror and fear and having the group seeing and hearing me.

I did the Movement Pod alongside the SBSM program. They compliment each other very well. Elia’s movement exercises helped me move energy through the body in a way I never felt before. I could feel the direction of the energy instead of the stuckness of it. English is not my first language. In my native language I dissociate when I try to speak up for myself. Through the meetings I became aware of all the triggers behind using my voice. Also being part of the group and sharing all the difficult stuff has helped me to feel human (instead of thinking and knowing and being in the head all the time).
