Living Fully Alive: Healing the Stress We Carry

Physical exercise is one of the most powerful ways to move through stress and help complete the stress cycle. Yet movement alone doesn’t always address the deeper layers of past trauma that can live in the body. When we don’t have adequate support or resources during a difficult experience, the impact can stay with us—shaping not only our mental well-being but our physical health as well.

When these experiences occur in childhood and remain unresolved, they are known as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Research shows that unaddressed ACEs are linked to the ten leading causes of death and disease in adults. This is why an integrated approach to health matters.

Practices from the field of energy psychology—such as tapping (EFT), thought field therapy (TFT), and acupressure—have demonstrated effectiveness in supporting healing. More than 130 peer-reviewed studies point to their impact, including clinical outcomes in which up to 84% of participants no longer met diagnostic criteria for PTSD after treatment. These approaches are non-invasive, accessible, and show little to no adverse side effects.

At She. Fully Alive., we remain committed to lifelong learning and evidence-informed practices that help women heal, grow, and truly live Fully Alive.
