Somatic Psychotherapy
Deep healing occurs when we're able to get the mind's awareness and the body's experience in agreement. This integration is the power of including the body in therapy.
Early experiences often dictate our world and how we exist in it. Oftentimes we have no memories of how our experiences have shaped and formed us.
Examples of how this can play out for you:
You find yourself in relationships where your needs aren't getting met and you wonder why.
Sometimes when you're relaxed you notice anxiety or nervousness come on for seemingly no traceable reason.
You find yourself shutting down and getting stuck when you want to be responsive.
You enjoy hugs, but sometimes you feel nervous or hesitant.
It's hard for you to identify your boundaries and feel ok holding to them.
You have a short fuse and you don't know why you get so irritable so quickly.
Somatic psychotherapy will create a new experience of healing for you on a cellular level. It will help you change old patterns that no longer serve you.
A typical session will move back and forth between conversation and exploring what happens in your body through mindfulness, present moment exploration, natural movement, breath, and touch. Somatic EMDR (Natural Processing) is also offered.
If this sentence resonates with you: "My upbringing from what I can remember was by most counts fine, so why do I feel this way?!", somatic psychotherapy can help you make safe contact with these deep core experiences, and by doing so, shift them.
I’m so excited to witness your return to your body's unique wisdom.
