More Somatic Exercises for Anger: Unleash the Beast!
In this video, I share somatic tools/exercises to express anger or healthy aggression. Anger is a natural, primal emotion that just wants to be expressed, but we often don't know how to express it in a healthy way. These tools use your voice, hands, and face/jaw to mobilize and express/release stuck or repressed energy from the viscera and muscles.
These tools might help you if you feel like you repress anger, have a lot of rage/explosions, or are stuck in your "fight" response. They can also help you build a sense of vitality, power, confidence, and agency in your body and mind.

    Thank you. It’s Christmas Eve, and I was having some fun with my family. It was nice…but maybe a bit much with my anxiety. I got back home, and my brother started blasting music that made me feel like I was suffocating…I felt like I couldn’t escape, but I felt too bad to say anything. He went next door, and I was left alone with a lot of panic. I’m still recovering…still feeling out of breath and getting some heart palpitations, but I do feel a little more safe now. Thank you. I was hyperventilating so bad that my throat was feeling really painful, but I think it’s starting to feel a little better.

I made a mess without hurting anything or hurting myself. I felt so relieved I bawled my eyes out after. I can't thank you enough, Emily! Thank you for teaching me 🙏

I dont want to make myself sick holding it in… or do too much heavy lifting to get out my big feelings either. Time to do this more intentionally and stop taking sh@t.

      Hi, Thank you for sharing your impression. I am sorry to have implied that "Voo" was my creation; it is not. It was developed by Dr. Peter Levine who developed Somatic Experiencing based on many spiritual, somatic, indigenous and other practices that have always had an effect on the body. You're correct that "Voo" draws on similar science and concepts as "Om," but it has a slightly different effect in the body. "Om" or "A-U-M" in the yogic tradition moves the sound up from the lower chakras to the crown. "Voo" is focused on vibrating the belly/internal organs to help mobilize stuck energy.

  • @EnaDunatov
    @EnaDunatov Месяц назад

    This is really great! I didn't know I can actually find this kind of videos on yt, until now. I have been going to integrative therapy and I was told about breathing with the vooo sound, but this is a whole routine, which I like. And I really like exercises that don't overwhelm me - which includes movement, sound and breathing.

    This is brilliant, i felt my body temperature rise and start tingling. When you did the overhead movement stretch and said “feel free to wiggle fingers”, i just started doing what spontaneously feels good and started laughing from pleasure. Its like freedom for the body to do whatever it wants, not double checking with the mind, its literally opposite to trauma experience. Great stuff!

    Welcome back Emily, I was only checking the other day to see if I’d missed any new videos. Great subject as well, I’m always clenching my jaw when things get a bit tough going. My dentist can tell, and was wanting me to have a night guard.x

    • @robobunny4641
      @robobunny4641 2 месяца назад

      Personally, the night guard was a waste of time, effort, persistence and money for me. With hindsight, the grinding was only a symptom of trauma/excessive stress, it was my trauma that needed attention at its root. And the night guard exacerbated my insomnia, hypervigilance and fatigue, other symptoms of trauma, which actually made me more tense. So the guard was actually counterproductive and made matters worse. So if any of this relates to you, save yourself the money and face the issues at the root instead.
