Why do you still feel stuck, even when you understand why?

For those who are tired of understanding their patterns without feeling them change

Many thoughtful, self aware people can see clearly how their history has shaped them, and yet certain reactions keep returning. Anxiety rises quickly, then shame floods in. The body moves into tension or shutdown before there is even time to think. This happens because past experiences are not only remembered in the mind. They are held in the nervous system and body, shaping how we respond long after the original situations have passed.

What you'll learn inside the guide

All practices are simple, accessible and trauma aware, designed to meet you where you are, not where you think you should be.

Inside When the Past Lives in the Body, you will explore....

Why do some patterns keep returning?

Because the nervous system has its own memory

Most approaches to healing work with the thinking mind. They help us understand, reflect and make sense of our experience, and that understanding is genuinely valuable.

​

But the nervous system has its own memory. It learned certain ways of responding to stress, uncertainty or perceived threat, and those responses can continue to appear automatically, even when life is no longer the same as it once was.

​

This is not a sign that something is fundamentally wrong with you. It is a sign that the body has not yet received the kind of support it needs to begin responding differently.

​

When the Past Lives in the Body explores exactly this. What it means to work with the nervous system gently and gradually, and how to begin.

Somatic wisdom for awakening, healing and aliveness

Laura Starky is the founder of the Somatic Wellness Hub with over 25 years’ experience in trauma, mental health and substance misuse. She works with adults who have often done a great deal of inner work and developed strong self-awareness, yet still find themselves caught in repeating emotional patterns or reacting in ways they wish they could change. Many of the people Laura supports are navigating experiences such as trauma and attachment patterns, nervous system sensitivity linked to ADHD or autism, recovery from alcohol or other coping strategies, or intense shifts arising through yoga, meditation or spiritual exploration. Alongside her therapy practice, Laura teaches embodied meditation and holds small group circles that support people to reconnect with the body and integrate their experiences in everyday life.
