    How the Body Lets It Go: A Somatic Talk on Releasing Trauma (Sequel to The Body Keeps the Score) | Abi Beri

    A talk positioned as the sequel to Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score. That book named where trauma is stored — in the body, not just in memory. This talk teaches HOW IT MOVES OUT. Because your body is not just a filing cabinet for old fear. It is a system that knows how to complete, discharge, and let go. It has been trying to, this whole time. It just got interrupted. The mechanism is the animal one Peter Levine spent decades studying. When a gazelle escapes a cheetah, it stops, shakes for a minute or two, and returns calmly to grazing. No trauma. No PTSD. No gazelle awake that night. The trembling discharged the enormous survival energy the body had mobilised. The cycle completed. Nothing stored. Humans have the same mechanism. We just override it — because trembling in front of people feels undignified, and we are a species that would rather be traumatised than undignified. So the survival charge stays. Held. Waiting, decades later, to do the thing it never got to do. Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Therapist, Family Constellation Facilitator and Nervous System Specialist based in Dublin, Ireland. In-person across Dublin, Naas, Newbridge and Kildare; online globally. Drawing on Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing (Waking the Tiger, In an Unspoken Voice), Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score, David Berceli’s TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), Stephen Porges’s polyvagal theory, Pat Ogden’s sensorimotor psychotherapy, and Robert Sapolsky’s animal-stress research. Topics: the gazelle insight; the unfinished survival response; why we override the shaking; the SE principle of safety with sensation in small doses; a carefully titrated somatic practice; why healing is slow, layered, and hopeful. IMPORTANT — big trauma charges are safest with a trained somatic practitioner. Do not force release. Practice safety and titration.

    A Dialogue With Your Heart: A Somatic Practice for the Body That Has Been Waiting | Abi Beri

    Most of ourdays are spent speaking to the body. Telling it to be quiet. Telling it to perform. Telling it to wait, to push through, to be different, to be less, to be more. What we very rarely do is the other half of the conversation. This guided somatic practice does the other half. It is not a meditation in the usual sense, not a body scan, not a visualisation. It is, simply, the posture of receiving — a hand on the chest, a long settled silence, and the slow discipline of letting the body speak first, in sensation rather than language. None of it is a problem to be solved. All of it is communication. Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Therapist and Nervous System Specialist (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this long, paced practice walks you through settling, placing a hand on the chest, the first quiet listening, what the body often says first when it is finally heard, and a soft return. With the honest understanding that the body has often been ignored for so long that it does not yet trust the listener — and that the waiting is itself the first message.

    You Are Allowed To Be Both: A Somatic Talk for When Your Parents Did Their Best and You Were Still Hurt | Abi Beri

    There is a sentence I hear in my therapy room almost every week. A client will be in the middle of describing something that happened to them, and right in the middle of saying it, they will stop and say — but my parents did their best. They say it in a particular way: not as a complete sentence in itself, but as a guard rail. As something they are putting up between themselves and the wound they just started to describe. What I usually say to them, very gently, is something like this. They probably did. Your parents probably did do their best. And you were also hurt. Both of those can be true. They are not in competition. You don’t have to choose between them. This somatic talk — drawing on inner child work, polyvagal informed somatic practice, and the systemic frame of Family Constellations — is about that moment. About the two voices that live in most of us: the adult voice that wants to be fair to our parents, that has perspective and context, and the wounded voice that didn’t get what it needed and is still, often without our noticing, carrying that. The work is not to make them agree. The work is to let them both speak. Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Therapist and Nervous System Specialist (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this is for anyone who has been quietly forcing themselves to choose between loving their parents and acknowledging that they were hurt. You don’t have to. They loved you. They hurt you. Both. Real. Allowed.

    A Safe Space Meditation: Building Safety from the Inside Out (For When Imagined Places Don’t Work) | Abi Beri

    Welcome. This is a guided practice for building safety from the inside out. Most safe space meditations ask you to imagine a place where you feel safe. For some people this works beautifully. For others — and I suspect some of you are in this group — it doesn’t. The imagination doesn’t quite produce a felt sense. The body doesn’t quite believe the image. If that hasbeen your experience, you are not failing the practice. You are simply someone for whom safety is going to come differently. Not from a place you imagine, but from a quality of attention you offer yourself. Safety, in the end, is not a location. It is a kind of company. Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Therapist and Nervous System Specialist (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this practice draws on EMDR safe-place resourcing (Francine Shapiro), Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine), polyvagal-informed care (Stephen Porges), and the self-compassion lineage (Kristin Neff, Tara Brach). We build safety by becoming the safe presence ourselves — by offering, to whatever is inside us in this moment, the kind of company that creates safety simply through being there. If you’d like to work more deeply with the inner ones, with safety-building somatic resourcing, or with the older material that often surfaces when safety is finally available — in person across Dublin and Kildare or online globally — more at somatictherapyireland.com and blissfulevolution.com.

    The Body Keeps Score — But It Also Keeps Hope: Somatic Repair After Long-Term Stress

    The body keeps the score. The body also keeps hope. The same plasticity that took on the trauma is taking on the present moment. The doom-half of this conversation has been louder than the rest. This talk says the rest. A long-form Sacred Talk on what van der Kolk's original argument actually was, what the doom framing costs, what plasticity really means, what hope in-the-body looks like in real work, and what changes when you hold both halves of the sentence together.

    Why You're Exhausted But Can't Rest: The Sympathetic Trap

    If you collapse exhausted at the end of the day and still can't rest — your mind still going, your body still humming — this talk is for you. You are not lazy. You almost certainly have a nervous system stuck in sympathetic activation that doesn't know how to come off. A long-form Sacred Talk on what the sympathetic trap is, how it gets laid down, the lie of the productive evening, what rest actually requires at the nervous system level, and the slow, real route home.Abi Beri | Integrative Therapist | Family Constellation Facilitator | Nervous System Specialist.

    Full Body Somatic Healing: A Body Scan For Coming Home

    A different kind of body scan. Not to relax, not to release, not to fix. We walk slowly through the body and speak to each part — not about it, to it — as if it were someone we had been away from for a long time. Throughout, we assume that every part of the body that is doing something is doing it for a reason. The body is not malfunctioning. The body is reporting. From the crown of the head to the feet and back, each part receives the missing sentence: I see you. I am here.

    On Letting Things Go: A Somatic Talk on Why “Just Let It Go” Doesn’t Work | Abi Beri

    Let it go. Three words you have heard your entire life. And if you are honest with yourself, you have probably nodded politely, agreed yes, and then in private completely failed to. This long somatic talk argues that most teachers have not been honest about what letting go actually is. Letting go is not something you do. It is what becomes possible when the body finally feels safe enough to stop holding. It is the result of conditions, not the result of will. The thing being held is almost never in the head. It is in the body — resentment in the jaw and shoulders, grief in the chest and diaphragm, old shame in the belly, ungrieved anger in the upper arms. Telling someone in their head to let go of something that is being held in their body is, structurally, a category error. Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Therapist and Nervous System Specialist (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this is for everyone who has been quietly failing at the one piece of advice the entire culture seems to agree on. The work I do is, in many ways, the slow building of the conditions in which the body can finally, on its own terms, exhale.
