The Mental Gym: Redefining Mental Health as Everyday Training

EAST BAY, Calif. - EntSun -- The Mental Gym Launches: A New Approach to Nervous System Fitness

Healing shouldn't feel like chasing quick fixes or sitting through years of therapy without knowing what's changing. The Mental Gym, a new trauma-informed coaching and somatic therapy program, is reframing healing as training—daily reps for your nervous system instead of endless talking or waiting for breakthroughs.

Founded by Sogol Johnson, MA, ACC, Somatic Practitioner, and Author, The Mental Gym is a membership-based program that combines body-based tools, trauma-informed coaching, and nervous system "circuit training" to help people rewire patterns and reclaim calm in everyday life.

Healing as Training, Not Just Talking
Instead of viewing healing as something you "finish," The Mental Gym helps clients practice consistency, just like exercise. Johnson explains: "We don't stop working out after three years and say we're done. Healing works the same way—small, steady practices create lasting change."

• Somatic exercises that release stored tension and retrain fight-or-flight responses
• Meditation and tapping for regulation and resilience
• Trauma-informed coaching and "spotter sessions" for real-time support
• Goal-setting tools that keep progress consistent

The Science of Somatic Healing

Grounded in Polyvagal Theory and Dr. Peter Levine's work in somatic experiencing, The Mental Gym uses pendulation—the rhythm of gently moving between activation and safety—to release trapped emotions and re-educate the body on how to respond to triggers. This approach doesn't just quiet stress; it strengthens the body's ability to stay regulated and recover faster after challenges.

A Practical Alternative

The Mental Gym fills a gap for those who find therapy too hard to access, or apps too impersonal. Members receive:

• Two live coaching sessions per month
• Access to over 50 nervous system tools
• A custom healing roadmap tailored to their needs

This hybrid of self-practice and live guidance makes healing both accessible and sustainable.
