This exercise was originally developed by Somatic Experiencing creator Dr. Peter Levine.
Trauma can often leave us feeling fragmented, in fear, immobilized, hyper-vigilant, and filled with internal chaos. This is a simple exercise in self-soothing / self-containment / self-regulation that offers relief from this internal turmoil. This self-holding tool can calm your nervous system and help you feel more embodied, present, and body aware.
