Neuro-Somatic Mapping Plan for Fear

 Neuro-Somatic Mapping Plan for Fear

💡 Core Issue: Immediate survival response—fight, flight, or hypervigilance in response to a perceived threat.
💡 Goal: Regulate the threat response, restore a sense of safety, and transition from reaction to deliberate action.

Neuro-Somatic Mapping: Grandiosity & Negative Grandiosity

 Neuro-Somatic Mapping: Grandiosity & Negative Grandiosity

💡 Core Issue: Distorted self-perception—either through exaggerated superiority (grandiosity) or exaggerated self-denigration (negative grandiosity).
💡 Goal: Regulate inflated or collapsed self-image, restore embodied authenticity, and shift from defense-based identity to genuine self-worth.

Mapping Enneagram Triads to Bioenergetic Defenses (Including Low-End Titles)

 The Enneagram triads (Gut, Heart, Head) reflect where core emotional processing is centered in a person’s experience—instinctual survival (Gut), relational identity (Heart), or cognitive security (Head). Each bioenergetic character structure corresponds to autonomic patterns and somatic tensions that shape the emotional processing of each triad.

Movement Therapy & Somatic Interventions per Enneagram Triad

Now, let’s look at movement-based interventions for each Enneagram triad, addressing autonomic regulation, body armoring, and emotional processing.

Somatic & Neurobiological Strategies to Shift Stuck Autonomic States

 Each personality structure has a unique autonomic "stuck pattern", where dorsal (shutdown) and sympathetic (fight-flight) interact in different ways. The goal of intervention is to restore fluidity between these states by engaging the missing ventral vagal tone (social engagement, body safety, and relational presence).

Mapping Primitive Reflexes to Emotional Dysregulation & Somatic Interventions

 💡 Why start here?

• Primitive reflexes directly influence autonomic responses, movement coordination, and emotional regulation.
• If a reflex is retained or unintegrated, it can lock a person into a specific emotional pattern (e.g., fear paralysis reflex → chronic freeze response).
• By matching emotions to reflexes, we can use reflex repatterning to unlock stuck emotional states.
