Has your body or your mind ever been triggered into past trauma by an event in the present moment?
Or perhaps you’ve experienced a moment where you don’t know why you feel unsettled — but it seems difficult to bring yourself back into a feeling of peace and centeredness.
Although your mind may search for the answer, it’s your body that remembers — and holds the key to shifting from distress or pain into groundedness, according to clinical psychologist Arielle Schwartz, PhD, founder of Resilience Informed Therapy.
Trauma, whether significant or subtle, changes you on a deep physiological level, embedding defense strategies meant to protect you, says Arielle. But, what served a purpose in the past limits your freedom now. The nervous system gets stuck on high alert, walling you off from your own inner guidance.
If this feels familiar, you are not alone. Unresolved trauma is an epidemic affecting all areas of life. But true healing is possible! Freedom from the past lives in the present moment.
After 20 years specializing in healing the body-mind connection, especially PTSD, chronic pain, and dissociation, clinical psychologist and author Arielle Schwartz, PhD, has created a step-by-step program using breath, movement, and mindfulness to finally rewire your nervous system’s trauma responses.
Her integrative approach to vagal toning is scientifically supported to:
Over 12 modules of on-demand sessions, you will be guided through potent practices to call back your life force — opening space for trust, inner peace, and embodiment of your full potential.
The Journey From Surviving to Thriving
The wounds of trauma run deep in the mind, body, and spirit. Without the proper support, many of us find ourselves reacting to daily life through the lens of past harm — instead of from our innate wholeness.
Dr. Schwartz designed her breakthrough vagal toning methodology as a gentle but direct path to finally healing complex trauma at its roots.
Her integrative approach works with:
The entire 12-module immersion follows four overarching phases:
1) Recognizing Your Survival Patterns You’ll develop awareness around the ways trauma shaped your psychology and nervous system functioning. From here, you can begin reconditioning new responses.
2) Safely Discharging Stored Trauma Equipped with core regulation skills, you’ll slowly discharge old traumatic energy through gentle somatic breath and movement practices. This releases trauma’s grip, realigning your nervous system.
3) Attending to Trauma-Related Dissociation Explore the relationship between your nervous system and your internal family system. You’ll explore how self-compassion combined with vagal toning practices is an essential key to healing. This helps you come home to yourself in a predictable manner that’s restorative to body and mind.
4) Embodying Your Integrated Self The final phase focuses on presence, spiritual awakening, and embodying your authentic wholeness. You’ll feel renewed trust, joy, vitality, and connection to your inner wisdom.
Through her proven vagal toning methodology and over 20 years combined experience, Dr. Schwartz's program guides you on a journey to:
The hours you invest will ripple through every area of your life — allowing you to heal deeply, from the inside out.

In this 75-minute video teaching from Arielle, you’ll discover how applying the principles of polyvagal theory through the practice of yoga is a powerful practice for healing from trauma. Yoga offers tools to address physiological imbalances through practices that allow you to sense your body, change how you breathe, move stuck energy, and rest into stillness. Through the lens of interpersonal biology, polyvagal theory, and somatic psychology, you’ll explore the physiological repercussions of stressful or traumatic events, and learn key tools for healing.

Rewire your nervous system to enhance your resilience. In Arielle’s video masterclass originally created with The Embody Lab, you’ll explore the intersection of science, soul, and soma as the foundation for embodied spirituality. Applied polyvagal theory in yoga offers a set of interventions that improve self-awareness, help you engage in conscious breathing, and apply sensory input to create greater regulation of your autonomic nervous system. Your brain is constantly learning — and you can shape your growth in the direction you desire.

The brain cannot think its way out of the symptoms of stress or trauma. In Arielle’s video dialogue with Giten Tonkov, you’ll explore interventions that focus on telling the story about distressing or traumatic experiences. Time-tested somatic tools — along with yoga-based breath, movement, and awareness practices — can quickly reduce anxiety, obsessive thinking, or feelings of hopelessness. Discover how to fine-tune your nervous system with breath and body awareness — to help you come out of states of stress and rebalance your body and mind,

Therapeutic yoga bridges a path of healing between the psyche and the body. This excerpt from Arielle’s Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery Flip Chart provides a variety of foundational yoga, breathing, and meditative practices to balance, energize, and calm the body. Grounded within the principles of polyvagal theory, affective neuroscience, and trauma-informed care, several selected pages for self-exploration have been provided.

When we have developmental trauma, we are more prone to dissociation and fragmentation. This requires that you have skillful tools to unburden parts carrying the wounds of the past. These resources will help you to learn how to safely work with your emotions and sensations with strategies rooted in mindfulness and compassion. You can finally find freedom from the burdens of the past.
