Most therapists won't tell you this, but I will:
Your depression is not a mental health disorder.
I've helped hundreds of clients heal by fixing their biology, not their thoughts.
Here's the exact blueprint I teach them: 🧵
First, let's explain what's really happening.
Research calls it "immuno-metabolic depression."
Most depression cases involve chronic inflammation, high cortisol, and insulin resistance.
Depression happens through your entire metabolic system.

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 daily, they don't suffer from long-term trauma.
On the other hand, humans and domestic animals are the only mammals that develop psychological problems after intense events...

The most overlooked, secretly destructive, yet completely normalized behaviour:
Emotional repression.
It's why you have chronic pain, anxiety, and autoimmune issues despite "perfect" health.
Here's how repressed emotions make us sick (and how to reverse it): 🧵
Your body is keeping a secret diary of every emotion you've refused to feel.
That back pain? It's your suppressed anger.
Those migraines? Your unprocessed anxiety.
Your insomnia? The guilt you won't face.
And we tell ourselves comforting lies:

Therapy was invented 120 years ago.
We've spent $180 billion on mental health care. 1 in 5 Americans are now in therapy. Anxiety is up 55% globally. Suicide rates up 30%.
How did this happen?
After digging into the research, I found out what's really going on: 🧵
We've reached peak therapy.
Yet American depression rates are at an all-time high and, by some measures, are worsening. How is this possible if people are in therapy?
Because the field took a wrong turn early on...

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 ↓

Men die by suicide 3.5x more than women. Only 1 in 4 men seek professional help.
The Fisher King myth explains why + the solution.
Thread about why empathy heals what dominance cannot: 🧵
The Fisher King myth:
A wounded king lies in his castle, unable to heal. His wound is to the groin - representing damaged masculinity, sexuality, and power.
Because the king suffers, his entire kingdom becomes a wasteland.
Nothing grows. Everything dies.

EMDR is the fastest way to heal trauma.
Your brain does this every night during REM sleep, but EMDR triggers the same process while awake.
Traumatic memories that haunt you for years can be processed in weeks.
The science behind EMDR (and how to apply it): 🧵
EMDR is a bilateral stimulation that mimics what happens during REM sleep.
Your brain naturally processes trauma each night through rapid eye movements.
EMDR does this while awake.

If your limbic system is dysregulated, you’ll feel anxious, reactive, and unsafe; no matter how “calm” your life looks.
It’s not your fault.
Your emotional brain was wired by trauma.
Here’s exactly how to rewire it (backed by science): 🧵
I've seen clients with "mystery illnesses" that doctors couldn't explain.
• Chronic fatigue
• Multiple food sensitivities
• Panic from normal sounds
The common thread? A limbic system stuck in threat mode. Your emotional brain thinks you're dying when you're not.

Huberman's newest episode completely changed how I think about the vagus nerve.
Turns out it controls mood, learning, HRV, and brain alertness (not just relaxation).
Here's the neuroscience behind it: 🧵
(+ 3 scientifically-verified stimulation techniques)
The vagus nerve is cranial nerve 10.
85% of vagus nerve pathways are sensory, carrying chemical and mechanical information FROM your organs TO your brain.
Only 15% are motor pathways going from brain→body.
This means it's mostly an information highway going UP to your brain.

If you are angry all the time, stop suppressing it.
Suppressed rage doesn't disappear. It becomes depression, anxiety, and chronic illness.
Rage is trapped energy that needs to MOVE.
Here's how to release it safely: 🧵
I've worked with hundreds of clients who were told their anger was "toxic."
Meanwhile, they developed fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions, and chronic fatigue.
Their bodies were literally attacking themselves because their rage had nowhere to go.

Most people think sexual energy is just about sex.
Ancient traditions knew it as "kundalini", a life force that can literally rewire your brain and nervous system.
Modern somatic therapy proves they were right.
Here's how to harness this primal energy: 🧵
Kundalini literally means "coiled serpent" in Sanskrit.
It's dormant life-force energy sitting at the base of your spine.
The same energy behind sexual arousal is identical to what we call spiritual awakening.
We've just been taught to waste it through porn and sex.

If your nervous system has been stuck in survival mode, you need a reset.
After years of stress, trauma, and modern life, it's forgotten how to truly relax.
Here are 16 specific techniques to reset it completely: 🧵
1) Neurogenic Tremoring (TRE)
Animals shake after escaping predators to discharge trauma.
Humans suppress this reflex and that's why we stay stuck.
Simple exercises trigger involuntary shaking that releases decades of stored stress from your nervous system.

77% of suicides are men.
It’s Men’s Mental Health Month—yet therapy still isn’t built for us.
Here are 11 reasons modern therapy is failing men:
1) Men talk through problems shoulder-to-shoulder, not face-to-face.
Isolated "talking" contradicts how men naturally process.
Put a man in motion or give him something to build, and he'll open up naturally.

I'm 33.
I've spent a decade obsessed with one question: What invisible forces control human behavior?
Here's what I found about consciousness, trauma, and the toxic shame that's programming your life:
In the womb, we experience complete Oneness—no separation, no boundaries.
Birth creates a split and the Oneness becomes dual:
1) my "Self" 2) the Other
The Other is first experienced through our Mother.

What do panic attacks, chronic fatigue, and digestive issues have in common?
They're all symptoms of the "fight-or-flight" response.
Once you understand it, you can't unsee it.
Here's what it means and 4 ways to reclaim your mind (according to science): 🧵
In 1903, Walter Bradford Cannon, a student at Harvard Medical School, observed something remarkable while studying digestion.
When cats experienced stress or fear, their digestive processes completely stopped.
He used X-rays to observe this happening in real time.

STRESS RELEASE TECHNIQUES
This simple technique heals decades of trauma, increases your stress tolerance, and drastically improves sleep/digestion.
Here's a step-by step guide (from a therapist): 🧵
If you have pain in your hips and lower back, it's not random tension.
Your hips are more than anatomy.
They anchor your nervous system's fear response, serving as your foundation for safety.

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.

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.
