The Hidden Postural Patterns Keeping You Stuck in Old Emotional Loops


If you keep repeating the same reactive patterns — no matter how much inner work you’ve done — your posture is probably bracing in ways you can’t yet recognize.

In the next 6 minutes, you’ll learn how hidden posture patterns quietly lock you into old emotional loops… and what actually frees you from them.

Hey there,

A quick note about me: I’m Sue Choi, a somatic movement therapist and author of When Things Stick: Untangling Your Body From Old Patterns, with 25 years of experience helping people change stress patterns that never shifted with mindset work, therapy, or meditation alone.

You’ve come a long way, yet …

You’ve grown.
You’ve healed.
You’ve changed your mindset.

But your body keeps pulling you back into old stories, old reactions, and old emotional habits — almost like it’s on autopilot.

Here’s why it’s not working


You take emotional shapes - of connection, protection, anxious attachment, dejection, etc. - at a core level. A mental shift needs the bottom-up signals of stability, calm, and power in order to confirm any changes in your belief system.

Your deep brain reads your structure as a map of your past:

  • Collapsed ribs? It reads withdrawal.

  • Tight jaw? It reads bracing.

  • Locked knees or frozen pelvis? It reads danger.


    In this 3-minute video, I explain in more detail how your emotions shape the body.

How do you fix that?

Collaborate with your body by learning what it needs to feel centered and connected.

Once your body sends clear, consistent bottom-up signals of support, your deep brain shifts instantly.

Your thoughts quiet.
Your emotions settle.
And calm shows up without effort.

In this 6-minute video, I show you one way to liberate tension patterns by working with your sacrum.

This is not a fluke - the change you experienced will change the way you move through the world.


This is a sample of a new approach to embodiment: working with the body as if you are doing internal massage on yourself.

It gives you the foundational cues your body needs to send your brain the message:

“I’m supported. I’m centered. I’m safe.”

Which is what creates real emotional regulation — from the inside out.
