Release Stress and Trauma From Your Body (Get Out of Functional Freeze) Using Somatic Healing with Liz Tenuto (The Workout Witch)

The Workout Witch, Liz Tenuto, joins PRETTYSMART to teach us how to release trauma and get rid of chronic pain through somatic exercises and therapy.  With a Degree in Psychology from UCSB, somatic certifications in Feldenkrais and Pilates with a specialization in injuries & pathologies, and 15 years of teaching experience, she's been changing the conversation around how trauma and anxiety affect the body for 15 years. She shares: 

• What it means if you scroll on your phone for an hour at night

• Her personal journey with chronic pain and how she discovered somatic exercises.

• Why any pain longer that does not heal after 3 months is trauma stored in the body.

• Signs you have stress stored in your body.

• How to differentiate stored trauma from muscle injury

• What a functional freeze is and signs that you are in one (and why it often mimics depression)  

• What parts of the body different emotions are stored in. 

• Why there’s an overlap between signs of ADHD and nervous system dysregulation from trauma. 

• Revenge Sleep Procrastination: What it is and what it means for your nervous system. 

• Why you should stop doing cold plunges.
