The root cause behind today’s biggest health problems isn’t what doctors are treating.

Obesity. Addiction. Depression.

They’re not separate issues—they’re symptoms of a deeper condition most people carry without realizing it.

The hidden trigger (and how to heal it): 🧵 Science shows that repressed emotions are the root cause of chronic diseases.

They directly impact:
• Hormone levels
• Brain function
• Immune system
• Mitochondria regulation

Somatic Therapy is a revolutionary new method to reverse depression, anxiety and fatigue.

It combines neuroscience, psychology and biology to rewire the brain.

Here's what it is and how to do it: 🧵 Somatic Therapy was developed by Dr. Peter Levine after observing wild animals in nature.

He noticed that despite facing life-threatening events regularly, animals don’t develop long-term trauma symptoms like depression.

On the other hand, humans and zoo animals are the only mammals that develop psychological problems after intense emotional stress.

Let’s explore why ↓

Parasympathetic Activation is the best way to rewire your brain from toxic habits, heal stored trauma, and restore your nervous system to optimal health.

Here’s what it is and how to do it:🧵 The human nervous system has an incredible ability to heal itself, just like all living organisms.

But for healing to happen, your body needs to enter it's “healing state.”

That’s where Parasympathetic Activation comes in.

Let’s break it down ↓

Trauma isn’t just a 'bad memory.' It’s your brain and body stuck in survival mode.

Anxiety, chronic pain, and fatigue are signals—not random issues.

You’re not broken. You’re stuck in the past.

Here’s what trauma is—and how to reverse it's effects (for good):🧵 Trauma is an invisible epidemic, affecting 75% of people today.

Society tells you to “suck it up” and pretend it never happened—but science says otherwise.

It’s not in your head—but it’s also not in your genes.

After 40 years of research, Dr. Gabor Maté found that childhood trauma is the hidden root of disease, addiction, and suffering.

Here are 10 mind-blowing lessons he teaches about healing trauma and reclaiming your life:🧵 For decades, we were told:

• Chronic illness is just bad luck or bad genes
• Autoimmune diseases are random attacks on the body • Anxiety & depression are caused by chemical imbalances

But the latest research on trauma and stress tells a completely different story.

Why do humans get stuck in Trauma while wild animals recover naturally?

In the 1970s, Dr. Peter Levine noticed something remarkable:

Wild animals face death daily yet don’t develop PTSD, Depression, or Anxiety.

His discovery revolutionized how we understand trauma forever:🧵
Dr. Peter Levine discovered Somatic Therapy after watching wild animals in nature.

He found that even though these animals often face dangerous situations, they don't suffer from long-term trauma.

On the other hand, humans and zoo animals are the only mammals that develop psychological problems after intense emotional events...

Why Do Zebras Stay Calm Under Attack—But You’re Stressed in a Coffee Shop?

Zebras face lions, starvation, and drought. Yet, they don’t get ulcers, cancer or chronic disease.

Humans? We sit at desks and worry ourselves sick.

Here’s why stress is wrecking your body—and how to stop it:🧵 What Is Stress?

Stress itself is not the problem.

It’s a survival mechanism—a full-body response designed to save your life.

• Your heart races
• Your muscles tighten
• Your body releases adrenaline & cortisol

In the wild, this helped us escape danger.

But in modern life? It’s slowly killing us.

Let's see how:

I'm a therapist who specializes in men's mental health.

Here are 11 reasons why modern therapy is failing men - and what needs to change:

1) Men are told to express emotions, but punished when they do Therapy encourages men to 'open up' but ignores what happens when they actually do.

The same vulnerability praised in therapy gets men rejected, disrespected, and overlooked in the real world.

Trauma isn't what happens to you. It's what happens INSIDE you when you lack the resources to cope.

Conventional wisdom about trauma is dangerously incomplete.

Here’s what no one tells you about trauma—and how to heal from it: 🧵
What is Trauma?

Trauma isn’t just about war, abuse, or car accidents.

It’s any experience that overwhelms your nervous system and leaves a lasting imprint.

It changes how you think, feel, and respond to the world—even years later.

And the worst part? Most people don’t even realize they have it.

You’ve been lied to:

ADHD is not a disorder.

It’s your brain’s way of escaping unbearable emotions.

Here’s the hidden root cause of ADHD (and how to reverse it naturally): 🧵 For decades, we’ve been told that ADHD is a genetic disorder—a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Doctors prescribe stimulants to “correct” it.

But what if ADHD isn’t a disease at all?

What if it’s actually a coping mechanism for childhood pain?

Breaking bad behaviors is easier than you think.

A 4-step system you can use right now:

(a therapist's favorite tool): This can be applied to (1) behavior (2) relationships and (3) work challenges.

The steps must be done in this order to create a sustainable solution:

1) Awareness
2) Acceptance
3) Resource/Intervention
4) Action

If you think you have Trauma, science says it didn't start with you.

Unhealed trauma doesn't just disappear—it gets passed down through DNA as self-sabotage, cycles of failure, and toxic patterns.

Here's what science says about inherited family trauma (and how to heal):🧵
First off, what is inherited trauma?

It’s the emotional, psychological, and biological imprint of your family’s unresolved trauma—passed down through generations.

You might feel it as:
- Chronic anxiety
- Fears you can’t explain
- Unexplained health issues
- Obsessive thoughts and habits

But let's see what science says ↓

When doctors say depression is from a chemical imbalance, it's code for ‘we don't know.'

After 2000+ hours of clinical training, I’ve learned depression is more complex—and more treatable—than many realize.

The new science of healing depression they don’t teach in school:🧵
In America, approximately 18% of adults experience depression.

Research shows it can lead to serious health conditions that are harder to treat. The sooner you treat depression the faster you can stop it.

After 40 years of research, Dr. Gabor Maté found that childhood trauma is the hidden root of all disease, addiction, and suffering.

Here are 10 mind-blowing lessons he teaches about healing trauma and reclaiming your life: 🧵 For decades, we were told:

• Anxiety & depression are caused by chemical imbalances

But the latest research on trauma and stress tells a completely different story.

The most debated, quietly stigmatized, yet deeply isolating topic on the internet:

Depression.

It’s why small tasks seem huge, every day feels like an uphill battle, and even sleep leaves you exhausted.

Here’s the latest science on depression—and how to beat it for good:🧵 Most people think depression is caused by:

• A genetic disorder
• A 'lack of motivation'
• Chemical imbalance (disproven)

Don't buy the myth of low serotonin, there's a better science to explain depression

If you are stuck in fight-or-flight, your brain is working against you.

Neuroscience shows your brain can become addicted to stress—causing chronic dysregulation.

To fix it, you need a nervous system reset.

Here's how stress hijacks your brain and how to reverse it: 🧵 First, what is the fight-or-flight response?

It’s your body’s survival mechanism.

When danger strikes, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline flood your system.

This is helpful in short bursts—but chronic activation leads to serious health issues.

Let’s break it down ↓

Childhood Trauma rewires your brain, changes your biology, and accelerates aging at the cellular level.

Why do humans get stuck in Trauma while wild animals recover naturally?

In the 1970s, Dr. Peter Levine noticed something remarkable:

Wild animals face death daily yet don’t develop PTSD, depression, or anxiety.

His discovery revolutionized how we understand trauma forever:🧵
Most people believe trauma is only a psychological issue. It’s not.

Trauma is stored in the *nervous system*

In this thread you will learn what it is and how to reverse it based on a Peter Levine's revolutionary science:

Depression and anxiety aren’t life sentences—they’re symptoms of a deeper imbalance.

Mainstream fixes like talk therapy only scratch the surface. But with neuroscience, permanent healing is possible.

Here’s what depression really is—and how to reverse it naturally: 🧵
Depression and anxiety aren’t just in your head—they live in your nervous system.

Talk therapy helps, but it often misses the root cause: an overactive brain and body stuck in survival mode.

Here’s what’s really happening:

Your scattered mind isn't a character flaw—it's your survival system on high alert.

When trauma convinces your brain the world isn’t safe, hyper-vigilance consumes your ability to focus.

Here’s how to help your nervous system feel safe enough to focus again: 🧵 Trauma rewires the brain.

Studies show: it over activates the amygdala (fear center) and impairs the prefrontal cortex (responsible for focus and planning).

This leads to hyper vigilance and intrusive thoughts that make your attention feel out of control:

Neuroscientists call it limbic system dysfunction.

Most people think anxiety can be controlled through sheer willpower.

Wrong.

I've spent 1,000's of hours in clinical training as a therapist.

Here’s the best method for navigating anxiety (without having to pay for therapy): 🧵 I was diagnosed with "generalized anxiety disorder" when I was 21.

I did NOT have an anxiety disorder—I had lifestyle problems and was disconnected from my body (these go hand in hand).

Here's how to permanently overcome anxiety ↓
