This video takes you through an exploration of what to do. There is another video with a similar exploration shown on the floor. You would also enjoy the class we teach online about "improving breathing for more mental focus.;" Here is the link to our online classes: essentialsomatics.com/essential-somatics-online-classes

Working with one,i was with one ofv your students.

I've PTSD. -I actually found this very triggering. My ribcage wasn't excessively tight to start with but somehow my body didn't like the exercises. I'm not complaining, just curious. I've watched other videos on the channel and found great benefit. I was surprisedI had such a strong reaction.

Sometimes people can experience a strong reaction when they pandiculate. You're recreating the stress reflexes so that you can sense them and move OUT of them - and decreate them when you no longer need them. They are the same reflexes that you undoubtedly went into (quite unconsciously, mind you) when you experienced trauma or whatever incident that gave rise to your PTSD. When you learn to soften the tension in the muscles that attach to and move the ribcage there can be an emotional reaction, tears, agitation, etc. Stay present, breathe, open your eyes, DO LESS! Our breathing is the first thing to be negatively impacted when we are traumatized. It happens in the ribcage and we wind up breathing shallowly. If you explore this sequence again be very, very gentle, and explore the movement of the ribcage in a soft way. I hope this helps.

@@EssentialSomatics I actually found out what the problem was. My upper back has somehow shunted forwards off the spinal axis. I'm not twisted or bent out of shape, the top section of my thoracic spine isn't sitting properly on the lower sounds. It all started with this video so thank you!

@@justme9818 Take your time and only go back to it if you feel safe, comfortable, and ready. I highly recommend working with a qualified practitioner as well - someone who understands trauma and how to work with it. You can find Essential Somatics-trained teachers here on our website: essentialsomatics.com/clinical-somatics-practitioners/ I hope this helps.
