The Somatic Starter Kit
A Gentle, Grounding Collection of Body-Based Practices for Nervous System Support
Many of us move through life feeling overwhelmed, anxious, shut down, or disconnected — without clear tools for what to do in the moment. The Somatic Starter Kit offers a simple, compassionate entry point into working with the body to support regulation, safety, and steadiness.
This collection brings together short, accessible practices inspired by somatic and nervous system–informed approaches. Rather than focusing on analysis or fixing, these practices help you build awareness, orient to the present moment, and respond to stress with greater care and choice.
Guided by Hannah Yang, Psy.D. this starter kit blends gentle psychoeducation, somatic awareness, and guided audio practices designed to feel calming, supportive, and easy to return to — even during moments of activation.
Designed to feel grounding rather than overwhelming, this kit meets you exactly where you are.
Inside the Course
Four guided audio practices:
A brief grounding practice for moments of overwhelm
A somatic tracking practice to build awareness without pressure
A self-holding practice to support safety and internal comfort
A short pendulation practice to help the nervous system find balance
One printable Somatic First Aid Map:
Simple cues for overwhelm, anxiety, or shutdown
Body-based tools matched to different nervous system states
Gentle reminders that support choice, pacing, and self-trust
Throughout the kit, you’ll find:
Nervous-system–informed guidance
Trauma-aware, choice-based language
Practices that can be used in real time, not just in reflection
Tools designed for everyday life, not perfect conditions
Who This Course Is For
This starter kit is for anyone who:
feels overwhelmed, anxious, or shut down without knowing what to do
wants simple, body-based tools rather than heavy theory
is curious about somatic work but unsure where to begin
craves practices that feel safe, gentle, and accessible
wants support during difficult moments, not only afterward
Whether you’re completely new to somatic practices or looking for a grounding foundation to return to again and again, the Somatic Starter Kit offers practical support for building steadiness from the inside out.

The Push–Pull Relief Bundle
A Soothing, Insightful Mini-Course for Understanding the Pursue–Withdraw Cycle
Many people experience moments of emotional closeness followed by sudden distance — wanting connection and then pulling away, or feeling pulled toward someone who suddenly becomes unavailable. This dynamic can feel confusing, activating, and exhausting.
This gentle mini-course helps you understand the Push pattern, the Pull pattern, and the cycle they create through a blend of attachment insights, Imago-informed relational wisdom, and nervous system awareness.
Guided by Hannah Yang, Psy.D., this bundle brings clarity, compassion, and embodied grounding to a pattern that often feels personal or shameful — but is, in truth, deeply human.
Designed to feel calming rather than overwhelming, this series supports you in recognizing your triggers, settling activation, and relating from a steadier internal place.
Inside the Course
A grounding guided audio for the moment activation hits
Three supportive worksheets:
Understanding your Push pattern
Understanding your Pull pattern
Mapping the full Push–Pull cycle
Somatic tools for settling activation
Reflective prompts for clarity and self-compassion
Simple practices for staying centered during distance
A nervous-system-friendly approach to relational triggers
Who This Course Is For
Anyone who feels caught in the push–pull dynamic — pursuing connection one moment and withdrawing the next, or loving someone who does.
This bundle is especially supportive if you:
feel anxious when someone pulls away
shut down when intensity rises
get stuck in on-again/off-again cycles
want more emotional steadiness in relationships
crave tools that actually help during activation, not afterward
Whether you identify with the Push side, the Pull side, or move between both, this mini-course offers relief, clarity, and a path toward grounded connection.
