A holistic approach for healing trauma stored in the gut

- Explains how and why emotions and trauma are stored in the gut, causing digestive issues and visceral tensions

- Presents recent research that enriches our understanding of the gut as a center of emotional and spiritual growth

- Shares a hands-on process of listening to the gut layer by layer to help heal gut issues, renew the microbiome, and release intergenerational trauma

A healthy gut is fundamental to a healthy life. Embedded within our digestive system is the enteric nervous system, our second brain, which serves to protect us from the external world of adversity, including not only viruses and bacteria but also traumatic events. As Nikki Kenward, CST-D, MCSS, explains, past challenges and traumas, whether emotional or physical, are held in the enteric nervous system in many ways, including fascial tension, cellular changes, and unhelpful default settings.

Exploring in depth what she calls the Post-Traumatic Gut, Kenward describes the anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system, including the polyvagal system, and the many ways that our emotional history and current emotional state can impact our digestive system.
