Book

For the past few years, I’ve been writing about what I so often explain to clients and students during sessions and seminars: how the profound impact of stress and trauma continues to shape our bodies, who we are, and ultimately even our entire lives.

Thankfully, more and more is becoming known about what deeply impactful events and situations can do to us, and how they can become traumatic. There is also a growing awareness that trauma can manifest not only psychologically, but physically as well.

What is still far less understood, however, is how physical discomfort — sometimes very subtle — can continue to exist after experiences such as birth, a fall, an accident, or surgery. And how exactly that can keep the system trapped in a traumatic state.

Because of this ongoing collective lack of awareness, there is so much unnecessary suffering. That is one of the main reasons I am writing this book. To bring more awareness, but also because I repeatedly witness how much can sometimes change in just a single session. Especially for babies and children.

In this book, I mainly explore how physical discomfort can play a major role in both the development and continuation of a high stress cycle or survival state. And how the system can remain trapped in that traumatic condition because of it. As a result, we end up living more from survival and a dysregulated nervous system than from who we truly are in our essence.

By now, I have already come a long way, and my aim is to publish the book this year (2026). Still, alongside all my other work, it continues to require a great deal of time and, above all, energy to keep this process moving forward. But of course, life also has to be sustained.

And so, in the end, I allowed myself to be persuaded to ask for financial support…

Would you like to help me create more time and space to continue bringing this book into the world by supporting me with a donation? My endless gratitude for that — also in advance on behalf of all the babies, children, and adults who may one day be helped by it. Perhaps even yourself.
