You will learn to understand the weight that these Parts have on your narratives, behaviors, habits and pain. We do this by learning to sit with the discomfort that arise with certain sensations and triggers and then integrating dissociated states of being and attachment insecurities. During this process, we learn to slow down our daily stressors and triggers enough to differentiate a past from a present stressor while learning response vs reaction. You will most importantly learn to be in full awareness of your trauma-induced perceptions and have the ability to settle into an accurate reflection of self and the outside world. The word “somatic” is derived from the Greek word “soma” which means “living body" and is your body that is perceived by you from within. It is a holistic form of therapy that is grounded in the relationship between the mind and the body. Somatic healing offers a variety of benefits. It reduces discomfort, strain, and stress in the body. It transforms negative emotional experiences, creates a greater sense of Self, builds resilience and offers hope. Our intent is to awaken people to the wisdom inherent in the body and how to access it. Stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflicts are problems that exist both in the body and the mind – so the cure must involve both as well.In each Embodied workshop that is hosted, we will explore new levels of mind-body connection; through exploring bodily tension, gestures, and body sensations through a combination of awareness dialogue, movement, and/or self touch. A multitude of therapeutic approaches will be used in our workshops such as: Internal Family Systems, Art Therapy, Primal Movement & more. Through connecting and listening to the messages carried in the body, clients are guided to choices that support their moving with more ease and freedom in their lives. becoming the fullest version of themselves.
