Why do hugs feel so awkward? Why does intimacy feel unsafe, even with someone you love?

The stiffness in your chest, the urge to pull away, the shutdown in your body — it’s not weakness. It’s not that you’re broken.
It’s your trauma body remembering that opening is dangerous.

In this flagship somatic course, Ana Mael — Somatic Experiencing Therapist for PTSD and Trauma Recovery, and founder of the Somatic Trauma Recovery Center — guides you into the hidden link between trauma, hugging, and intimacy struggles.

This Course Is For You If:

• Hugs feel stiff, awkward, or overwhelming

• You avoid touch — even with people you love

• You or your partner struggle with sexual intimacy or orgasm

• You feel “shut down” in closeness, but crave connection

• You’ve tried affirmations, therapy, or willpower — but your body still won’t open

What You’ll Learn

Ana teaches that the body needs a full cycle to feel safe: open → be held → safely close.
When trauma interrupts this cycle, the nervous system wires in a survival message: “Better stiff than abandoned.”

In this course, you’ll learn how to complete that cycle — step by step — so you can:

• Feel safe opening to love and nourishment

• Rebuild trust in your body and your relationships

• Reclaim intimacy with yourself and others

• Experience true surrender, safety, and closeness

  Ana breaks down the Moro reflex, the somatic foundation of intimacy, and how trauma imprints block love and connection.

• Guided Somatic Practice
  A trauma-informed exercise to retrain your body to open and close, to be held and to hold — without stiffness, fear, or shutdown.

Why This Course Is Different

This is not about forcing closeness or “fixing” your relationship with more effort.
This is about healing the nervous system — the place where trauma interrupts intimacy.

Healing intimacy is not about pushing harder. It’s about retraining the body to trust again.
