Integrative 1:1 Trauma Work Sessions

When our nervous system experiences something shocking, it needs to complete the energy pathway of that shock up and out of the body- but we don't always have the time, place or awareness to allow that to happen. This can result in physical and emotional manifestations like anxiety, depression, physical or emotional tension and unproductive patterns. This work is cultivated to help the nervous system metabolize stuck energy through experiencing sensations, listening to the body and helping it complete that pathway that was once blocked. Together we will deepen your ability to listen to your body's internal messaging in order to manage the root cause of trauma and stress, and develop a natural rhythm in which you can find release and ease.

Whichever path you choose, our time together will be intuitively and uniquely designed to support the courageous work you are stepping into. We will work together, led by your body's intuition, to find a combination of somatic movement, meditation, breath work and NeuroAffective touch that will bring you into a deeper understanding of your body's wisdom and foster a sense of internal safety.

You've taken the first step by coming here, let me help you the rest of the way.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing helps us modify our trauma based stress response through bottom up processing. It is as simple and as complex as understanding felt sense in the body when our body is resting, or when our nervous system feels activated and everything in between- becoming aware of sensations, naming the emotion behind them, and supporting the body in processing that emotion. This method is adaptive and safe for everybody and any body.

Meditation

Meditation is not silencing the mind. It is our ability to draw our awareness into the present moment through many different techniques- visuals, sound, breath, using our senses, movement. Meditation give us the ability to find calm and ease in our bodies or our immediate surrounding so that we can create space for processing emotion. It is a tool that is safe for everybody and any body.

Breath Work

Our breath supports us each day with little to know effort on our part. Our breath is also connected to our stress response and will shift to support the body into safety when stressed. Without the balance of breath, sometimes energy can build up in the body and create discomfort. Through using different breath techniques we can support the body in easing that discomfort and releasing stored energy. Most breath techniques are safe for all people, however pregnant people, people with asthma or moderate to high heart conditions may need to avoid some techniques. All preexisting conditions will be considered and consultation with your doctor may be needed.

Movement/Yoga

Yoga is a moving meditation. This incorporated with other safe movements can help reduce stress and support the body in processing stuck energy and emotions. Tight shoulders or neck, low back pain, hip tightness, can all be signs of energy and stress that has accumulated in the body and needs to be released. Through yoga, gentle stretching, and supportive movements you can begin to find ease in those areas. This practice is adaptive and safe for everybody and any body.

NeuroAffective Touch

NeuroAffective Touch is a technique developed through Embodied Philosophy and "is a polyvagal-informed psychobiological approach designed for body-mind integration." This approach can help us attune to self-touch as self-regulation tools. In areas of tension and where the body is holding onto energy, gentle, supportive touch is applied to assist any active energy to release from this area. Touch can be a deeply healing form of therapy and can bring awareness to areas that mentally we have dissociated from. This is a safe technique for everybody and any body, and is only used with consent during sessions.

Kind words from kind people.
