I usually get asked this and my standard reply is that I don't prefer not to get into discussions about specifics here, but I'm happy to share info via email, and I also host a Discord group where people interested can discus and share their own experiences with different techniques.

So, please feel free to email me (address is in my profile).

Edit: the reason I’m reticent about getting into details here is that I’ve learned from years of experience that discussions on HN about unconventional health approaches can (a) easily devolve into futile arguments with motivated skeptics, and (b) be unconducive to sharing the material with sufficient detail and caution, given that some people seeking this kind of info are at risk.

And whilst there are some materials around to point to, they’re not very specific about techniques, whereas I’ve done extensive experimentation with different techniques and documentation of my learnings, including tracking of physiological indicators, and can present/explain it in a way that is more palatable to HN-types who are genuinely interested.

But if anyone wants to read published authors on the topic, try Gabor Mate, Bruce Lipton, John Sarno and Bessel Van Der Kolk as starting points.

Having never really heard of any of these people and just skimming DDG and Wikipedia, I think you're probably being a bit too reticent. As far as I can tell, every topic on HN easily devolves into futile arguments with motivated skeptics. EMDR and Sarno-like treatment for RSI have definitely received productive discussion on HN. Jung and depth psychology (given the quote in your bio) are certainly less dangerous than psychedelics, which are constantly being lauded here.
To be blunt: why? Your reply reads to me like you're recruiting for a cult and/or selling something.
Fair enough, I expanded my comment with more explanation and detail.
