Speak Up
A guided somatic session for the fear of speaking up
You know the moment. Something true wants to be said, and your throat closes before the words can reach it. Not because you don’t know what you think, but because some part of you learned, long ago, that saying it was not safe. This 24-minute guided somatic session traces that fear back to where it took hold, and works directly with what it has been protecting. The same work I do in sessions, available whenever you need it.
Speak Up - A guided somatic session for the fear of speaking up (sample)
€ 47,00
The fear of speaking up rarely lives in your thoughts.
It lives in your throat, your chest, the place where words get caught before they become sound. You may know exactly what you want to say, and still feel the freeze arrive before you can say it.
That freeze is not a flaw in your confidence. It is a memory. Somewhere, expressing yourself once led to something that did not feel safe: criticism, punishment, withdrawal, or simply no room for what you had to say. A younger part of you concluded that silence was the safer choice, and built a blockage to enforce it. That blockage is still active now, in your body, even in rooms where speaking up costs you nothing at all.
What this session does
This is a full somatic session, body-based and trauma-informed, following the same arc I use with clients in my practice as a psychologist. In 30 minutes, you move into the sensations that arise the moment you want to speak: the tightening, the freeze, the urge to swallow the words back down. You trace that response to where it was formed, not as a story, but as something held physically in the body, often around the throat. You meet the younger part of you that learned silence was safer, and you let what was never allowed to move, move. As the suppressed emotion releases, space opens for your own voice to return.
Every time you need it.
Why somatic work matters here
You can understand exactly why you go quiet and still go quiet anyway, because the fear was never lodged in your understanding. It was lodged in the body, in a physical blockage formed to keep you safe. Talking yourself through it rarely reaches that layer. What reaches it is direct, felt experience: actually feeling the freeze, tracing it to where it began, and letting the stuck energy finally move. That is what this session works toward, through the body rather than around it.
A note before you begin
If you recognized the freeze in your throat reading this, that recognition is enough. You do not need to have your message perfectly formed, or already feel ready to speak. You only need to be willing to meet the place in you that learned to stay quiet.
That is what Speak Up is for.
A guided audio session, available the moment you purchase. You can stream or download it, and return to it as many times as you like.
Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Sit or lie down, press play, and follow the audio. Headphones aren't required, but they help you stay with it.
No. You don't need the right words, or a clear memory, or a story ready to tell. This works directly with the body, not with what you can already explain.
Yes. Most people return to it more than once, especially when the pattern it works with gets activated again. It's yours to keep.
No. It's a practical tool drawn from the same somatic approach used in clinical work, meant to use on your own or alongside therapy, not instead of it when ongoing support is needed.

One session. Repeatable. Available the moment you need it — which is often not when you planned it.
