Why Breath & Somatic Work Matter
(...especially for Adult Children)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the work but still stuck—I see you. I was you.

For 18 months, I lived in a functional freeze. I was showing up, checking boxes, going through the motions—but inside, I was numb. Disconnected. Trapped in a body that didn’t feel safe to live in.

Breathwork and somatic healing changed everything.

 

These tools have helped me thaw out—to start feeling again, slowly, safely. They’ve given me a way to move through emotional pain without being consumed by it. A way to regulate my nervous system, release stored trauma, and finally begin to feel alive in my body.

 

This isn’t just “self-care.”

It’s survival. It’s the missing link.

 

If you’re an adult child, I truly believe that breath and somatic work are non-negotiable. They go deeper than words ever can—and give you tools you’ll use for the rest of your life.

🛠️ Tools to manage your emotions.
🛠️ Tools to come back to your body.
🛠️ Tools to create real, lasting change.

Whether you're brand new to this or ready to go deeper—this is where the real shift begins.

This is for if...
  • you’ve done the therapy, the journaling, the mindset work—but your body still feels stuck

  • your nervous system is always in overdrive: anxious, frozen, or waiting for the other shoe to drop

  • you crave deep healing, but the idea of “feeling your feelings” honestly scares the hell out of you

  • you’ve never felt fully safe in your own skin—and maybe didn’t even realize that was the goal

  • you want more than coping—you want connection, embodiment, and emotional freedom

  • you’re new to healing your trauma or adult child patterns—and you're not sure where to start

Meet Your Guide: Teresa Napierala

Teresa is a Certified Somatic Wellness Practitioner and Emotional Healing Coach who specializes in emotional processing and trauma integration. But before any of that, she was a woman trying to survive.

​​

As an adult child of an alcoholic, a military veteran with service-connected PTSD, and a recovering alcoholic herself, Teresa’s journey has been shaped by deep pain—and deeper transformation. She’s lived through spiritual abuse, family dysfunction, addiction, and the slow, agonizing thaw of reconnecting with a self long buried beneath survival mode.

 

Which means she gets it—not just in theory, but in her bones.

Like so many of us, her healing journey began with the realization that survival was no longer enough.

Sobriety was her catalyst. Somatic work and breathwork became her turning point. Over time, she found her way home to her body, her emotions, and her truth. Today, she walks alongside others doing the same—bringing with her not just expertise, but compassion earned through lived experience.​​​​​

​​

She's also fellow Shitshow member—walking her own healing path, doing the damn work right alongside us. That means you won’t need to “perform” or pretend you have it all together. This journey will feel more like showing up to group in your comfiest clothes than logging into a polished seminar.

 

Come as you are. Laugh, cry, swear, exhale. It’s all welcome here.​ And with Teresa guiding the way, you’ll begin to feel what it’s like to come home to yourself—one breath at a time.

FAQ'S

Do I need any breathwork or somatic experience to join?

Nope. No prior experience needed—just a willingness to show up. Teresa will guide you through every step in a way that feels accessible, grounded, and trauma-informed.

When will I get access to The Shitshow community if I purchase the Breathe & Belong tier?

You’ll receive your invite to The Shitshow 10 days before the course begins—so you’ll have time to explore, connect, and get comfy before we dive in. Your 2-month community membership kicks in at that time. If you choose not to stay after the course ends, just cancel before your trial ends. Otherwise, your membership will auto-renew at $29/month.

If I chose the Just Breathe tier—can I still join the community later on?

Yes! You can join The Shitshow community at any point during the course for the regular rate of $29/month. That’ll unlock access to the course replays, the private group space for deeper connection and accountability, and all the regular member benefits.

What’s your refund policy?
