Bouncing for Nervous System Regulation: A Simple Trauma Recovery Tool That Really Works
Bouncing for Nervous System Regulation: A Simple Trauma Recovery Tool That Actually Works.
Learn how bouncing calms the nervous system, eases trauma responses, and supports recovery. Discover why this tool helps—and when it’s time to seek deeper support.
Feeling Stuck in Survival Mode?
If you live with trauma, anxiety, or stress, your body probably spends way too much time in survival mode. Maybe you feel jittery, restless, or like you just can’t calm down. Or on the flip side, maybe your energy crashes, and you feel foggy or shut down.
Both are signs that your nervous system is out of balance.
A Gentle Reset for Your Nervous System
One of the simplest, most effective tools I teach is bouncing. Yes—literally bouncing on your feet or on a soft surface. This rhythmic, repetitive movement sends calming signals to your body, helps release trapped stress energy, and supports nervous system regulation.
Here’s why it works for trauma recovery:
Movement helps complete the “stress cycle” your body gets stuck in.
The rhythm reassures your nervous system it’s safe to settle.
Gentle activation clears jittery energy without pushing you into overwhelm.
And the best part? It’s quick, easy, and you don’t need any special equipment. Watch the video HERE
Imagine This Shift
Instead of lying awake at night with racing thoughts or feeling frozen before a big meeting, you start to notice:
More calm energy during the day
Less reactivity in stressful moments
A sense of relief in your body, not just your mind
But Here’s the Thing…
While tools like bouncing can bring immediate relief, they don’t always get to the root of trauma. Many people tell me, “I feel better for a bit, but then I get triggered again and the cycle continues.”
That’s because nervous system regulation exercises are powerful support tools—but deeper healing often requires guided processing, nervous system retraining, and integrative therapy.
