    PREMIUM | Psychogenic Tremor Practice

    If you ever feel like stress or tension is stuck in your body and you just can’t shake it off, this practice is for you.   The Psychogenic Tremor practice is designed to gently release built-up tension, ease stress, and create a sense of calm and grounding. Through guided somatic movements that activate your body’s natural shaking response, this practice helps you reset your nervous system, let go of what you’ve been holding onto, and feel lighter and more at ease.   I've used this practice with clients who feel: ✨ chronically tense or "on edge" ✨ overwhelmed by emotions or life circumstances ✨ physically tight or stiff from stress ✨ energetically drained but unable to relax ✨ stuck in cycles of overthinking or emotional reactivity ✨ burdened by stress they’ve carried for years   And it’s one of my go-to practices for clients who want to feel more in control of their emotional and physical well-being.   Psychogenic tremoring is a powerful somatic practice that taps into your body’s innate ability to release stress. By gently activating a natural shaking mechanism, this practice allows your nervous system to offload excess energy and return to a state of calm. With this practice, you’ll release tension, reset your nervous system, feel more present, and restore a sense of ease and balance in your body.   This 15 minutes somatic practice is part of our premium podcast subscription, to get access to it, become a premium podcast member When you leave a review for the podcast on iTunes you can get a free trial.

    Feel It to Heal It (Part 5-Shame), with Erika Belanger

    By learning to feel your shame more fully, you'll be able to be yourself more authentically and access more joy in your life. Hiding your emotional self unintentionally disconnects you from who you are and turns down the volume on all your emotions. But everything changes when you give yourself permission to feel, and discover that it's not as scary as you think. I share the process I use with coaching clients to help them shift out of shame and into a place of presence. Learn what shame really is, how it affects HSPs differently, and why creating safety and regulation in your nervous system is key to healing from shame.

    PREMIUM | My Clients’ Favorite Gratitude Practice

    If you love gratitude practices, this might be a new very powerful way to connect to this emotion, and If you’re highly sensitive and you’ve struggled to connect authentically to gratitude practices in the past, this practice if for you This is my client’s favorite way to connect to gratitude and truly experience it in their body. You can also use this format with any positive high-vibration emotion you want to experience more fully in your life. If you are trying to experience gratitude without involving the body, your efforts to change how you truly feel often stay at the surface level and the shift either doesn't happen or it doesn't last. To truly change a belief, habit, or how we feel, we need a genuine connection between our emotions and body. This is because our thoughts and behaviors are often tied to physical responses stored in the body from past experiences. Real change happens when we engage both mind and body, and this is what we are doing in this practice.
