Fabio is a friend over at Facebook - he is a 2009 graduate of Naropa University with a degree in Somatic (Body-Centered) Psychotherapy. He has posted several video talks on YouTube dealing with the somatic responses to trauma.
Some of what he is talking about is the way trauma gets stored in the body - there is a series of exercises that are designed to help release trauma from the body. The book is called The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process: Transcend Your Toughest Times by David Berceli.
Berceli is very interesting and inspiring. I’m not sure he’s right about the psoas being the primary holding place for trauma, though. A lot of people hold it in their upper bodies, with the legs becoming dissociated or numb (freeze, no flight).
