Life-changing trauma release sessions

Most of us have experienced emotional or physical trauma on some level, which can restrict our breathing and capacity to feel. The resulting body armoring and muscular tension can endure for years. BBTRS’ integrative sessions support you to consciously release trauma and live with greater aliveness, freedom and connection to others.

Sound

The effects of sound on our nervous system are truly remarkable. It is one of the most powerful and supportive tools we can use in BBTRS sessions. With conscious intention and creative use, vocalization, recordings, and live instrumental sounds are a tremendous resource in sessions.

Touch

BBTRS® uses conscious touch at many levels, from the body’s energetic field to contact with core muscles. It’s applied with sensitivity to increase awareness and support energy flow.
Understanding how and when to use conscious touch is central to all trainings.

Emotions

Soft emotional release can be part of a BBTRS® session, but not a goal. You are supported to stay present while revisiting deeper feelings and sensations – and to return to your own sense of comfort whenever necessary. This balance is key to the BBTRS® approach. It supports you to release and integrate trauma, rather than simply relive it or become overwhelmed.

Meditation

Meditation is where BBTRS® begins and ends. It’s used to support resonance in the practitioner and integration for the client. It’s also the resting state the mind and body often return to after BBTRS® sessions. Different approaches are used within BBTRS workshops and trainings, from active meditations, to sitting silently in some of the earth’s most sacred places.

Breath

The effects of sound on our nervous system are truly remarkable. It is one of the most powerful and supportive tools we can use in BBTRS sessions. With conscious intention and creative use, vocalization, recordings, and live instrumental sounds are a tremendous resource in sessions.

BBTRS® uses deep connected breathing to charge up the body, activating specific belts of muscular tension and emotional patterns. The sessions are designed in a series to stimulate and rebalance your mind and body from head to toe.

Movement

BBTRS® uses both somatic and creative movement exercises to allow vibration and release held energy in the body’s tissue. This may include fascial opening, core tension release and therapeutic use of dance.
From playful warm-ups, to whole-body shaking, to undulating spinal waves, movement is key to what makes BBTRS® truly transformative.
