You’ve done the insight.
Now do the integration.
An intimate 8-week circle for high-functioning adults who understand their trauma intellectually, but still feel it in their body, relationships, and daily nervous system.
This is a structured, clinician-facilitated psychoeducational experience built around The Body Keeps the Score, with guided somatic exercises, honest reflection, and a small group that helps insight finally become movement.
- You’ve done therapy, reading, or self-work, but still feel stuck.
- You want practical body-based tools, not just more information.
- You’re ready for a small, intentional group rather than healing alone.
- You want a guided bridge between understanding and real-life change.
Applications are reviewed personally by Stacy Reynolds, LMFT-Associate.
What is the Integration Circle?
This is not a support group.
It is not a lecture series.
The Integration Circle is a guided, clinician-facilitated experience built around The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. Over 8 weeks, a small cohort of 8 participants moves through the book’s core concepts together, not as a book club, but as a lived practice.
Each session pairs the science of trauma with a somatic, grounding, or regulation exercise so that what you read becomes something you can actually notice and work with in your body.
It is structured. It is intentional. It is designed for people who are tired of understanding their story and still feeling ruled by it.
“The body keeps the score: if the memory of trauma is encoded in the viscera, in heartbreaking and gut-wrenching emotions—then our treatments must target not just the mind, but the body.”— Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.
Fit & Readiness
Who This Circle Is For
You might be ready if...
- You’ve read, started, or resonated deeply with The Body Keeps the Score.
- You understand your trauma intellectually, but something still refuses to shift.
- You want to know what your body has been trying to say for years.
- You’re done trying to heal in total isolation.
- You’re willing to engage discomfort in a supported, structured way.
- You already have at least one grounding skill you can use when things feel heavy.
You might wait if...
- You are in active crisis or acute destabilization.
- You have no current individual support, such as a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist.
- You are not yet able to sit with discomfort without significant risk to your safety.
- You’re looking for individual therapy rather than a group-based psychoeducational experience.
The Structure
Eight weeks. Four phases.
Rooted in the science of The Body Keeps the Score
The Brain
We explore how trauma reorganizes the mind and nervous system, and why “just thinking differently” rarely reaches the whole problem on its own.
The Body
We begin to track somatic cues, map the window of tolerance, and practice grounding skills that help the body return to greater safety and choice.
The Story
We work with narrative and meaning-making, not to relive the past, but to help the nervous system hold it with more coherence and less fragmentation.
The Path Forward
We consolidate learning, build a realistic regulation toolkit, and create a plan for carrying this work forward after the circle ends.
Your investment
Full 8-week cohort · $75 per session
- Pre-group 15-minute fit call
- 8 weekly 90-minute sessions
- Digital resource guide
- 8 participants maximum
This is designed to complement individual work, not compete with it.
By the end of the cohort, participants leave with more than insight. They leave with language for what has been happening in their body, a grounded framework for understanding it, and practical tools to keep using after the group is over.

Stacy Reynolds
I’ve spent years sitting with people who are exhausted, not because they are unwilling to do the work, but because they have been carrying more than any one nervous system was meant to hold alone.
I built the Integration Circle because I kept watching people read this book in isolation. They would underline every page, see themselves in every chapter, and then close it still feeling stuck. The knowledge was there. The shift was not.
A group changes that. When people sit together and recognize themselves in the same material, something becomes possible that rarely happens in isolation: the move from recognition to integration.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate and LCDC-Intern in Texas, working under the clinical supervision of Lisa Powell, Ph.D., LMFT-S. At Brain & Heart Healing, PLLC, I work with clients at the intersection of trauma, healing, and real-world change.
This group is a psychoeducational offering and is not individual therapy.
