Book recommendations from Tia:
The Body Remembers Volumes 1 and 2 by Babette Rothschild, these really helped me understand the power of adaptation and that even behaviors we judge as "bad" had some type of intelligence for survival, even if they are no longer useful. These are written for therapists/practitioners so some chapters people might skip, however I find the case studies relatable and helpful in understanding why therapists make some of the choices they do.
Call of the Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken Our Own Power and Use it For Good by Kimberly Ann Johnson - This gives a clear explanation of nervous system function, somatics and its varied applications.
Bodyfulness: by Christine Caldwell - This gives an overview of core concepts with multiple practices to try at the end of each chapter. It's a bit more heady

Somatic organizations I recommend in the US:
-The Embody Lab (they have students from across the globe) - people can look at the list of practitioners from the Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certification for other directions.
