Scenario

When family members have different approaches to somatic trauma healing

My sister and I are both dealing with inherited family trauma and she swears by intense breathwork and shaking practices but my body shuts down with anything too activating and she thinks I'm avoiding the work while I think she's retraumatizing herself.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Siblings are in conflict because their nervous systems require opposite approaches to trauma healing, creating judgment and distance instead of mutual support.
