BRTT® - Body Remembers Trauma Therapy

A powerful, body-centered method to release deeply rooted trauma from the body and open the path to true healing.

What is it?

What is it?

Body Remembers Trauma Therapy (BRTT®) is a holistic, body-oriented somatic therapy developed by the Inner Journey Institute in the Netherlands. This method focuses on releasing trauma stored in the body—something we all carry, whether consciously or unconsciously. I guide you through this therapy with care and support, giving your body and mind the space they need to heal.

How does it work?

  • Creating a safe space: We begin the session with a moment of alignment, where I work with you to explore what is currently present for you, both physically and emotionally. Together, we create a safe space where you feel comfortable and open to begin the process.

  • Working with the psoas muscle: We focus on the psoas muscle, also known as the "seat of the soul." This muscle often holds daily stress and stored trauma linked to the fight-or-flight responses of the body.

  • Breathing, touch, and movement: I guide you using targeted breathing techniques, gentle touch, and movement to identify and release points of tension in your body.

  • Releasing trauma: Together, we address trauma stored deeply in your body, step by step. This may manifest as fight, flight, or freeze reactions and/or emotional release.

  • Emotional and physical regulation: After the release, I help bring your body and nervous system into a more relaxed and regulated state through breathing techniques and gentle guidance. This helps you shift out of fight, flight, or freeze mode, allowing for greater calm and balance.

Who is it for?

BRTT® is for you if you feel that your body is holding onto something you can’t release. You may feel stuck, burdened by emotional or physical pain, tension, stress, chronic discomfort, or disconnected from your body.

This therapy is for you if:

  • You carry emotional or physical burdens you can’t process alone and want to learn how to let go.

  • Your emotions manifest in your body, such as stiffness, tension, stress, or pain that is difficult to explain.

  • You feel disconnected from your body and want to rebuild that connection.

  • You are carrying old wounds, recent trauma, or ongoing stress that feels too heavy to navigate alone.

  • You are ready for a powerful approach that helps you experience healing and feel more at ease in your own body.

"Note: This therapy has contraindications, so completing a comprehensive intake form prior to your session is essential."
