Field Guide 09 · 75-page photographic workbook
An evidence-informed, trauma-aware guide to grounding, movement, tension relief, and steadier recovery. Each day pairs a clearly timed 20-minute session with a full-page photographic movement guide.
How to use it
Identify whether you feel present, activated, or overwhelmed before choosing a practice.
Use two minutes to arrive, four to prepare, eight for release work, four to integrate, and two to record.
Review the real-person examples for setup, gentle movement, and the easiest way to return and check in.
Stop deliberately, orient to the room, and notice whether you feel more present and able to choose.
Is it right for you?
Movement and eyes-open grounding offer another entry point without claiming to be better for everyone.
Useful for people who notice muscle guarding, restlessness, shallow breathing, or difficulty settling.
The guide separates established PTSD treatment from complementary self-regulation tools.
