P.A.S.T Release Program
The P.A.S.T Release Program is a body-oriented therapeutic approach designed to help release stress, tension, and stored trauma responses held within the nervous system. Our bodies register experiences through complex neural pathways, and when overwhelmed, they hold on to shock, fear, or emotional strain long after an event has passed.
​
Trauma imprints often keep the nervous system locked in old survival patterns such as fight, flight, or freeze. This can show up as chronic tension, anxiety, sleep issues, emotional reactivity, or physical discomfort without a clear medical explanation. These patterns are not “mental weakness”, they are the body’s way of trying to protect you.
​
The P.A.S.T method draws from TRE (Tension Releasing Exercises), TRM (Trauma Resiliency Model), and other somatic practices to help you gently unwind these responses. With guided techniques, you learn how to soothe your system, reset long-held reflexes, and support your body in returning to a calmer, more regulated state.
What to expect.. Your experience
Sessions begin with grounding and helping your body settle into a sense of safety. From there, you’re guided through simple body-based movements and awareness techniques that allow stored tension to release gradually and naturally.
​
As your system unwinds, you may notice shifts such as softer breathing, decreased tightness, or a sense of emotional lightness. The process is slow, intentional, and centred on helping your nervous system move out of survival mode.
Body
Awareness
You learn to notice areas of tension or activation and gently bring your body into a calmer, more present state.
Stress
Releasing
Using somatic techniques, your body is supported in letting go of built-up stress or protective reflexes.
Integration
We often consider integrating alternative therapies basis what works for you!
Restoring Regulation
As your nervous system settles, you experience more ease, steadier emotions, and a clearer, more grounded response to life.
Benefits of ​Hypnotherapy
Change sticks when it shows up in daily life. We’ll help you reinforce new patterns with small, repeatable steps.
Reduced Physical Tension
Body-based release work helps soften tightness and chronic holding patterns that build up from long-term stress, allowing your muscles and nervous system to settle more naturally.
Calmer Nervous System
As the body shifts out of survival mode, anxiety responses gradually ease, creating a steadier sense of internal balance and emotional grounding.
Improved Sleep & Rest
Releasing stored activation supports deeper rest, smoother sleep cycles, and a greater sense of relaxation at night.
Emotional Relief
As the body lets go of accumulated tension, many clients notice reduced overwhelm, lighter emotions, and more stable moods throughout the day.
Support for Psychosomatic Symptoms
Many individuals find relief from stress-related discomforts such as headaches, digestive tension, or fatigue when the nervous system becomes less activated.
