Somatic Therapy, Trauma & Neurodivergence: Why Shaking Helps the Body Heal

What if your anxiety, chronic pain, or exhaustion isn’t something to “think” your way out of?

Somatic therapist Raquel Deville joins Vibe Science to explain how the body stores unresolved stress — and why tremoring, shaking, and other involuntary movements are essential for true nervous system regulation.

In this episode, we explore:

• How trauma lives in the body, not just the mind

• Why neurodivergent individuals experience stress differently

• The science behind TRE (Trauma Release Exercises)

• Why socially “awkward” body responses are often signs of healing

• How to safely reconnect with your body’s natural release mechanisms
  

This conversation is especially powerful for listeners navigating ADHD, autism, giftedness, chronic stress, or burnout — and anyone curious about somatic healing beyond talk therapy.
