How Do Emotions Affect Our Tissues?

In her latest article, Vivien Henderson, LMT, CST-D, explores the powerful mind-body connection through SomatoEmotional Release (SER) in CranioSacral Therapy (CST).

Traumatic experiences and emotions such as fear, anger, or shock can become stored in the body's tissues, contributing to pain and dysfunction. Through gentle CST techniques, these emotional patterns can be identified and released, supporting deep healing and balance.

Read about:
• How emotional trauma can become embedded in the body
• The role of CST in releasing "energy cysts"
• Real-life cases demonstrating profound physical and emotional healing

So thankful to have learned about CranioSacral therapy a few years back. It’s such profound bodywork and I am honored to be able to share it with my clients. 🙏🏼🩷

The other day I was using some of the new mouth work techniques I learned with one of my regular CST clients. They have ehlors danlos syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder, and deal with chronic pain due to joint instability.

The touch we use is that of the weight of a nickel and this allows the body to respond from an unguarded place. They said it felt like the tissue pulled so hard to one side in their head that driving was difficult. Right after the tension in their left cheekbone dissipated and they were opening and closing their mouth to test for pain they said “wow, that feels so different. It feels so good. I can’t believe it. Oh my god I could cry.” Then they started to cry.

Tears of relief pooled in their eyes. Tears that held years of dental trauma from invasive procedures and painful splints. Tears of joy, frustration and sadness all mixed in ran from the corners of their eyes. I lightly rested my hand on their arm and smiled in response knowing this was a good thing. 💛

🧠 Exciting research in PNAS reveals that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may travel along peripheral nerves to organs throughout the body, creating a direct brain-body communication pathway.

These findings align with the principles of CranioSacral Therapy and Neural Manipulation, which focus on supporting CSF flow and nerve function to promote health and balance throughout the body.

Study Highlights the Real-World Impact of CranioSacral Therapy (CST)

A large prospective cohort study explored how CranioSacral Therapy is being used in real-world primary health care — and the findings are compelling.

✨ Safe and effective across all age groups — from infants to adults
✨ Significant improvements in pain, function, sleep, and emotional wellbeing
✨ No serious adverse events reported

This research reflects what many therapists witness daily in clinical practice: CST supports the body’s natural capacity for regulation, healing, and resilience.

If you are committed to integrative, patient-centered care, this study reinforces the meaningful work you do every day.
