Trauma-Informed Somatics for “Divergent” Humans

Katherine Zitterbart

Fascia, physics, and consciousness — explored through embodied systems of power, resonance, and repair.

Katherine Zitterbart fuses neuroscience, Chinese Medicine, and biotensegrity to reveal how the body organizes experience through tension, compression, and connection. Her work introduces a fresh lens on trauma recovery, framed as a learning process she calls Neuroaffective Somatics®.

Her approach, Shentegrity®, serves as the structural framework; combining the engineering logic of tensegrity (power dynamics) with the biological wisdom of biotensegrity (living tissue).

Rooted in compassion, communication, and consent, this model weaves together insights from:

Neuroscience
Theoretical Physics
Epigenetics
Chinese Magical Medicine

All grounded in the ethics of trauma-informed care (Shentegrity)
