Your body doesn't feel broken. It feels frozen.
You're still showing up. Still getting things done. But inside? Something feels stuck. Shut down.
Pushing through doesn't work anymore.
You've tried so many things. You're not skeptical — you're just tired.
You're not weak. You're not broken.
This freeze is your nervous system doing what it learned to do to keep you safe.
This is exactly where you are supposed to be.
What Makes This Workshop Different
- A guided experience — not another lecture
You'll be gently led through body-based work, not taught more concepts. - Safe exploration of freeze
No forcing. No digging. No reliving trauma. Just gentle noticing. - Rooted in the Biology of Trauma® framework
Safety first, then Support, then Expansion — so your nervous system can shift without overwhelm. - No prior experience needed
You don't need to be "ready." You just need to show up. - You'll leave feeling regulated, not cracked open
This isn't about breaking through. It's about coming back online — gently.
If you've been feeling shut down, overwhelmed, or disconnected, this gentle 90-minute experiential workshop offers a safe, body-based way to move out of freeze and back into yourself.

Behind the Scenes: How This Work Was Facilitated
A reflective teaching session for practitioners — exploring the thinking, restraint, and biological attunement behind safe movement out of freeze.
Practitioners Will Explore:
- Intentional sequencing -Â Why each modality was chosen.
- Pacing and containment -Â How titration was maintained in 90 minutes online.
- Nervous system cues -Â What to track in real time.
- When less is more -Â Why certain interventions weren't used.
- Informing your existing work - This enhances your framework — it doesn't replace it.

Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH
Physician. Researcher. Patient. Guide.
Aimie Apigian is a double board-certified physician in Preventive Medicine and Addiction Medicine with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health. She is the founder of Trauma Healing Accelerated and author of the USA Today bestselling book, The Biology of Trauma—with a foreword by Dr. Gabor Maté.
Her framework didn't come from textbooks. It came from necessity.
As a surgical resident and functional medicine physician, she saw patients whose stress had made them sick. As a foster-adoptive mother to her son Miguel, she experienced firsthand how trauma creates deep patterns. As someone who lived her own health collapse—chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, anxiety, and unexplained symptoms—she discovered what was missing from every approach she tried.
That missing piece became the Biology of Trauma® framework and an integration of psychology, somatics, and biology in the sequence the body needs to heal.
She is a certified Somatic Experiencing practitioner trained under Dr. Peter Levine, with additional certifications in NeuroAffective Touch, Internal Family Systems, and the Instinctual Trauma Response Model. She has presented at Oxford University's Masters Series on Trauma, the Institute for Functional Medicine, and the Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Conference.
Her podcast features conversations with leading trauma experts including Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Peter Levine, and Dr. Stephen Porges.
She has guided hundreds of thousands through this work.
