To Empower the Youth to Take Control of their Well-being
The Science…
Did You Know…
We Learn From Animals
What is our Connection to Animals?
How in touch are you with your animal instincts? The psoas muscle is a key link between humans and animals. While animals naturally activate it, humans often don’t. As Sir David Attenborough once said, “We are all animals in clothing!” There is much we can learn from the animal kingdom, particularly in how they recover from trauma. Animals instinctively allow their bodies to tremor, releasing adrenaline and cortisol in response to stressful events. We, too, have this innate ability to release tension through the psoas muscle, our fight/flight centre, but over time we’ve suppressed and forgotten this vital mechanism for recovery.
ANIMALS RELEASE
Understanding the fundamentals
Whether repel water or let go of tension, animals shake off spontaneously! Wild animals naturally and instinctively release adrenalin and cortisol after the chase. Then they can carry on and do what animals do.
THE PSOAS MUSCLE
See the muscle highlighted in the image? Now, imagine that animal standing on two legs—we are really not so different! The psoas muscle, which connects to the diaphragm and runs along the back of the body, behind the organs, and down to the top of the legs, is the same in both humans and animals. It plays a crucial role as our fight/flight centre, storing the tension from stress and trauma. Just like animals, we rely on this muscle for survival, though we often overlook its importance.
OUR DOMESTIC PETS
Seen Them Shiver and Shake?
We’ve had dogs for years, and like many others, I used to believe that their shaking was a sign of nervousness. Now, I understand it differently. Dogs experience distress from things like fireworks, vet visits, or travelling, but their natural tremoring is how they release adrenaline and cortisol, helping them stay calm. Tremoring is a natural and healthy response in dogs, and it’s a vital part of how they regulate stress.
About The RRD Programme
Release Recover Discover is a 5-Step programme that empowers you to heal the physical, mental, and emotional symptoms of your past stress, overwhelm, and trauma. Just like animals, you also need to release tension from your Psoas muscle which lies deep in your body. It is your ‘fight/flight’ centre.
The Psoas is where you hold your emotions and fears. When you learn to release tension from this muscle, you too can enjoy a new freedom.

Connect With YOUR PsoasWith Release Recover Discover
The natural somatic response to over-excitement or fear is tremoring. Studies on animal behaviour show that tremoring helps protect them from both psychological and physical harm after a frightening experience. And here’s the thing—we are all animals. We all have this built-in mechanism to tremor by activating the psoas muscle. This release is essential for restoring balance (homeostasis) to the body and mind after experiencing shock or stress. Trauma cannot be prevented, whether in animals or humans, but whatever life throws at us, the body has a natural way to release it.
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by emotions that you couldn’t control them? Perhaps your lips quivered, or your legs and hands shook involuntarily. That tremor sensation is the body’s most organic method of releasing built-up tension. Sadly, this natural response has often been misinterpreted as a sign of weakness or pathology. As a result, many of us suppress it, turning to medication, alcohol, or other means to cope instead.
Research by Feldman (2004) and van der Kolk & van der Hart (1991) supports the idea that psychogenic tremors in humans, much like instinctual tremors in animals, are the nervous system’s way of attempting to restore neuro-physiological balance in the body.
Just like animals, you can empower yourself to return to homeostasis by reconnecting with this natural process. The Total Release Experience® (TRE) Programme allows you to start healing from past stress and trauma and begin building resilience straight away.
You, too, can reconnect with your inner ‘animal’. The RRD Programme is available globally. We prode ourselves on empowering individuals worldwide.
