In this transformative episode of Neurogenic Integration, host Alex Greene speaks with Svava Brooks, a TRE provider based in Reykjavik, Iceland, who shares her remarkable journey from living in "functional freeze" with an ACE score of 8 to becoming what she calls the "Queen of Hearts." Svava discovered TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) in 2015 after two decades of trying various therapeutic approaches, and her story illuminates the profound possibilities of somatic healing for developmental trauma. Through a patient two-year process she describes as "a thousand little steps," Svava learned to pair TRE with mindful self-compassion practices, moving slowly and gently as her nervous system learned to release decades of chronic tension and reorganize around safety rather than survival. Her transformation extended far beyond symptom reduction—she reconnected with joy, creativity, and playfulness, became a softer and more present parent, and now dedicates herself to bringing TRE to communities across Iceland. This conversation offers both practitioners and individuals on their own healing journeys a detailed roadmap of what nervous system regulation and trauma recovery can actually look like, emphasizing the essential roles of self-compassion, co-regulation, going slower than slow, and honoring the body's protective wisdom. Svava's story is ultimately one of hope grounded in reality: that even after decades of trauma, the body has an innate capacity to heal, reorganize, and open to connection when given the right conditions of patience, support, and somatic practices that work directly with the nervous system.

In this episode of the Neurogenic Integration Podcast, host Alex Greene welcomes back Lisa Kimble to discuss her transformative experience presenting TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) at the Fascia Research Congress in New Orleans, where she successfully guided 100 scientists, therapists, and bodyworkers through neurogenic tremoring for the first time. Lisa shares groundbreaking research from experts like Robert Schleip (48-hour lag between stress and fascia stiffening), Stephen Porges (polyvagal theory), and Gil Hedley (complete vagus nerve dissection emphasizing vocal sounding for regulation), revealing how fascia and the autonomic nervous system are intimately connected in trauma healing. The conversation explores the paradigm shift happening in the scientific community—where researchers now openly discuss consciousness, energy, and fascia as "tissue of the soul"—and Lisa's exciting new direction integrating indigenous Sami yoiking (healing vocal traditions) with modern somatic practices, creating a powerful synthesis of ancient wisdom and contemporary neuroscience that addresses developmental trauma through the body rather than talk therapy alone.

Anders Totten's journey through structural integration reveals both the technical precision and mystical depths possible in skilled bodywork practice. From Ida Rolf's pioneering vision through Tom Myers' anatomical innovations to emerging research connecting fascia with emotional regulation, the field continues expanding our understanding of human potential for healing and transformation.As fascial research converges with nervous system science and trauma-informed approaches, practitioners have unprecedented opportunities to serve clients through integrated, collaborative healing relationships. The future of bodywork lies not in defending territorial boundaries, but in swimming together through the vast, interconnected ocean of fascial possibility.

Liza Kimble's journey illustrates how the evolution of therapeutic practice often involves not learning more techniques, but learning to work more skillfully with the body's innate healing mechanisms. Her integration of TRE, fascial work, and animal wisdom offers a template for how practitioners can develop more effective, sustainable, and mutually beneficial healing approaches.As the fields of trauma therapy, fascial research, and nervous system understanding continue to converge, practitioners like Liza are showing us that the future of healing lies not in choosing between different approaches, but in weaving them together with wisdom, gentleness, and respect for the natural intelligence of living systems. Her work reminds us that sometimes the most profound healing happens when we learn to do less, trust more, and allow the body's wisdom to guide the process.‍

Daniel's experience with neurogenic tremoring represents what many people are looking for—simple, effective ways to manage stress and reconnect with their body's natural wisdom.
