INSIGHT

Skin As A Psychosomatic Boundary

  • The skin reflects psychosomatic patterns, acting as a boundary that mirrors emotional safety and boundary issues.
  • Chronic perceived unsafety drives oxidative stress and embeds expressions like worry into facial aging.
INSIGHT

Cell Danger Response Fuels Chronic Inflammation

  • The cell danger response locks cells down, preventing nutrients in and toxins out when the system perceives threat.
  • If this response stays active from chronic limbic perception, it becomes a major driver of persistent inflammation.
ADVICE

Use Allowing To Start Somatic Practice

  • Start somatic work by allowing sensations and noticing where emotions live in your body without judgment.
  • Breathe into tight or stuck areas and witness the body to release trapped memories and reduce physical tension.
