Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., defines trauma as “not the story of something that happened back then, but the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside [the individual].”

Trauma is often equated with extremely shocking and painful events, such as physical or sexual abuse, war, or a natural disaster. However, researchers increasingly confirm that it is not just specific events or situations that cause trauma, rather how a person perceives and reacts to the event is what better determines whether trauma develops; in fact, different people can experience the same events with widely varying degrees of psychological consequences, depending on their emotional vulnerability and the resilience of their nervous system.

What is BBTRS (Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System)?

It’s a new approach to body-oriented therapy. It consists of deep connected breathing, conscious movement, sound, meditation, touch, and bodywork. Their thoughtful combination into an integrated flow allows the release of long-held stress and tension from the body and mind.

The BBTRS tries to break through many layers of body armor and free the body, mind, and nervous system on a mental, emotional, and physical level at the same time.
