What Primal Trust does well
Probably the most complete program in somatic + polyvagal + trauma + community + live sessions integration. Excellent for people who want very deep companionship and can pay monthly. Active community and accessible coaches.
Limitations we see
Monthly price makes it very difficult for many people with chronic illness and reduced earning capacity. Much content behind paywall — little indexable to discover before paying. English is a barrier. No daily adaptive AI.
When to choose one or the other
Primal Trust is excellent if you have budget and want the most complete approach in somatics + polyvagal + community. Let's Shine is the option if you need accessible pricing, Spanish, daily AI and a simpler approach.
