Description
Many programs focus on healing from past trauma using the mind - that is, paying attention to what happened, as well as how we create ideas and stories based on past pain - stories that drive our experience and behavior today!
While this is one part of the puzzle, there is another aspect of healing that is less discussed. As an expert bodyworker and hypnotherapist with a speciality in trauma, I see how the body holds onto so much and how sometimes we need to let go of thinking our way out, and instead, be present in the body and allow it to release past memories/pain.
Yes, the "body keeps the score" as Bessel Van der Kolk has written in his famous book, but what does that mean when you are suffering?
Emotional pain is often about holding onto past feelings and memories because we don’t know what to do with them, or how to stop them from bothering us. As a consequence, we often ‘lock’ up the pain in our body systems - holding our muscles tightly, becoming shallow breathers, to name just a few strategies. If we don’t do this, if we risk feeling emotional pain and remembering the past, we then might feel unsafe (go into fight or flight or freeze/immobilse) and shut down, further locking the trauma in our bodies.
Healing begins with communicating to your body that you are safe, and then making space for release to happen naturally. In this short course, I take you through some body-based processes in order to help you work at the level where indeed, the body keeps the score.
I will help you learn how to settle your nervous system, how to understand the language of your body so that you can listen and respond, how to release trauma through movement, and how to set up a daily practice of engaging with your body so that healing occurs naturally over time.
Daily practice is key, so I’ve built this short course specifically to encourage you to take your healing into your own hands by constructing a daily practice that is easy and works for you.
