Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and grief can be challenging during seasonal transitions. Somatic exercises, such as morning oceanic breath, intentional nasal breathing with low-impact walking, and nurturing self-touch, can help address the emotional states in the body. These practices can promote calmness, improve the mind-body connection, and provide comfort during difficult times.
Liz Tenuto, known as "The Workout Witch" on TikTok, has gained a large following by sharing somatic exercises aimed at releasing stress and trauma. She explains that many people struggle with getting out of bed, sitting in a towel after a shower, and losing enjoyment in going out due to a chronic freeze trauma response. Tenuto offers online courses and practices to help individuals break free from this response and experience full body release. Her own journey of healing from chronic pain and anxiety led her to specialize in somatic exercises, which address the root causes of trauma. Tenuto believes that people can live without pain and offers various programs to release tension and eliminate the deep-rooted causes of pain.
