Kevin Howley: Healing Through Juggling - Toss Catch Heal & Juggle JitsuKevin Howley, creator of Toss Catch Heal and Juggle Jitsu, is a trauma-informed neurosomatic coach and certified neuromuscular therapist who uses juggling and mindful movement for nervous system regulation and trauma recovery. Born with physical challenges, Kevin discovered that rhythmic, embodied motion can rewire the brain, manage anxiety, PTSD, grief, and support neurodivergent individuals.His work blends somatic therapy with juggling techniques—Toss Catch Heal offers gentle, trauma-sensitive movement to create nervous system safety, while Juggle Jitsu uses dynamic patterns inspired by martial arts. Both leverage bilateral stimulation and neuroplasticity to rewire the brain and promote emotional regulation.Key Highlights:[00:01] Introduction to Kevin Howley - Trauma-informed coach merging juggling with nervous system regulation[05:09] Toss Catch Heal Explained - Gentle somatic practice helping trauma survivors feel safe and regulated[08:42] Movement as Energy Release - Why fidgeting and movement are natural nervous system regulation, especially for ADHD[28:49] Bilateral Stimulation & Neuroplasticity - How juggling works like EMDR therapy to rewire the brain[32:48] Family Engagement - "Families who juggle together stay together" - building connection through playful movement[37:08] Clowning & Inner Child Healing - Reconnecting with joy and authenticity through performance arts[38:45] Practical Juggling Demo - Using scarves to teach mindful movement, muscle memory, and emotional regulationKey Insights:Movement-Based Healing - Rhythmic motion rewires the brain and regulates the nervous system beyond talk therapySomatic Safety First - Creating nervous system safety through slow, gentle movement is foundational for trauma healingEnergy Needs Release - Movement like fidgeting is a natural regulatory mechanism, not misbehaviorBilateral Brain Stimulation - Juggling's side-to-side tracking promotes neuroplasticity similar to EMDR therapyEmotions as Juggling - Normalizing "drops" as part of the healing process, not failureFamily Connection - Shared juggling strengthens communication and bonding, especially when verbal communication is challengingInner Child Expression - Clowning and juggling reconnect us with joy, playfulness, and emotional opennessKevin's approach is inclusive and adaptable for diverse learners, including those with autism, cerebral palsy, or vision impairments. He emphasizes persistence, micro-stepping (Kaizen philosophy), and creativity in learning juggling. Frustration and "ball dropping" are normal parts of growth, not failure.His philosophy connects juggling to rhythm, energy flow, and emotional balance—making it a unique blend of physical, emotional, and neurological healing accessible to everyone.Connect with Kevin Howley:https://tosscatchheal.healthavenues.com/#Neurodiversity #TraumaHealing #Juggling #ADHD #Autism #Neuroplasticity #SomaticTherapy #EmotionalRegulation #BilateralStimulation #FamilyConnection
