Gut Punch: Is it your trauma or intuition?

Gut Punch: Is It Your Trauma or Intuition? How to Cultivate a Safety State of Mind is a holistic journey into learning to trust your body’s signals, whether they stem from stored survival patterns or true guidance from the Universe, while keeping your safety front and center. In this book, trauma-informed healer Diane Seamark invites you to learn to trust your own inner radar and build a safety-first mindset.

You’ll discover how to:

• Understand the difference between a survival response and intuitive guidance
• Embrace PEMS hygiene (Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual practices) to clear ＂somatic sludge,＂ raise your vibration, and establish a resilient foundation for staying safe in any situation
• Rewire your nervous system blueprint by interrupting old trauma patterns and creating space for presence, calm, and an empowered sense of safety
• Maintain clear energetic boundaries and sharpen situational awareness to spot predatory or harmful behavior from others, whether in relationships, public spaces, or daily interactions
• Reclaim scattered energy, anchor new coping rituals, and rest in ＂liminal space,＂ that essential pause where transformation and true safety meet

Drawing on Somatic Experiencing, yoga therapy, martial arts, and deep spiritual practices, Seamark offers compassionate, step-by-step tools to help you move from reacting out of past pain to responding as a grounded, intuitive being.

Whether you’re healing from childhood wounds, chronic illness, or repeated overwhelm, Gut Punch equips you with the insights and safety strategies you need to move beyond mere survival and into a life guided by clear inner wisdom.
