Bodywork Techniques for BBTRS® – The Seven Belts of Tension

Understand how breath and the nervous system shape the trauma healing process
Learn how breathing directly influences the autonomic nervous system and regulates stress, relaxation, and emotional responses.
Gain insight into how trauma affects the nervous system and body, and learn key principles like pendulation and titration for somatic healing.
Discover the role of the vagus nerve in trauma resolution, using Polyvagal Theory and MER tools to support resilience and balance.
What This Webinar Includes
Examine the anatomy of the lungs and diaphragm and how breath shapes autonomic regulation — from stress to relaxation response.
Understand the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous systems, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and sensory pathways.
Learn to recognize natural cycles of expansion and contraction in the nervous system — and how to support regulation with presence and rhythm.
Deepen your understanding of the vagus nerve, neuroception, and Polyvagal Theory to enhance client safety and nervous system health.
Build Nervous System Literacy for Trauma Resolution
This on-demand video series is designed for Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) students and practitioners working with breath and somatic trauma. You’ll gain essential knowledge of breath’s impact on the nervous system, trauma physiology, and body-based healing tools like vagal activation, titration, and pendulation. Taught by Jennifer McKeever, this course lays the foundation for trauma-informed touch and breathwork.
This pre-recorded video series, delivered in English, covers six core modules and is designed specifically for MER students and trauma-informed practitioners.
