THE BODY IS THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
The mind and body are intrinsically connected, yet the modern western medical system often separates them. Suppressed stress and repressed trauma manifest physical imbalance in the body, and physical injuries manifest emotional imbalance in the body. It’s all connected.
At the beginning of my journey many years ago I started out on the path towards psychology licensure, but soon realized there were many rules put on therapists in that realm. Those rules direct a lot of what is done in psychotherapy to the mind, in many ways separating treating the mind from treating the body. This institutionalized separation between the two aspects of our being had me seek out a different path, one that addresses being human in a different way. It is my intention to bridge this gap in a way that helps people heal, evolve, and learn to navigate life using intuition more than the logical mind…
If you are currently seeing a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, counselor, life coach, or a marriage and family therapist, my work can compliment theirs greatly; helping you in breaking through subconscious holding patterns in a profound and new way. I am happy to connect with them if you would like us to collaborate during your course of treatment.
SUGGESTIVE TOUCH VS FORCEFUL TOUCH
After years of pushing hard into areas of tension and getting used to deeper and deeper pressure, many people get used to a level of deep pressure that doesn’t actually promote healing. The body knows what to do, and it only asks for gentleness, safety, trust, and patience in order to begin letting go. As the practitioner I create a sacred space in which your mind and body feels safe enough to let go and be vulnerable. In this vulnerability your mind gets out of the way and allows the body to do what it inherently knows it needs for itself, rather than someone else dictating what it needs and forcing that outcome.
BUILDING TRUST, FEELING SAFE, LETTING GO
Think of your body as a vehicle that you drive around. When you take your car to the mechanic, do you sit in the driver’s seat while it is worked on? No.
When you come in to see me it is time for you to let go of your body’s steering wheel and allow it to unwind itself. When we work together, observe what comes up with non-judgemental curiosity and a willingness to surrender to what is.
Just, let, go.
This release of control takes a lot of trust on your part and it is always my intention to maintain a safe and peaceful space that truly enables you to fully go there.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON’T LET GO?
Holding on to that which no longer serves our health and wellbeing literally and metaphorically makes us unwell.
People often begin their journey of seeking help by going to see a standard western medical doctor (general practitioner), and after several “tests” their doctor tells them they can’t find anything wrong. Months or years go by, and as the symptoms get worse they return to the same doctor, and are referred to specialist doctors. These specialists usually diagnose them with an untreatable illness, and prescribe symptomatic medications or surgeries that often allow the condition to worsen deep inside. After that point, when they begin to feel hopeless and desperate, is often when people find me. This can sometimes be several years after the initial suffering began.
Are all these conditions and diagnoses reversible? Usually, and not always. Either way, your quality of life will exponentially improve when you are able to fully feel and release the undiagnosable and unfelt injuries, traumas, emotions, and past experiences you’ve subconsciously held on to for so long. I can help you tap into the state of being needed to let go on many levels (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual).
If my approach interests you, I would be honored to work with you. The poem below is one of my favorites. It speaks directly to the nature of my work.
THE GUEST HOUSE
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Rumi
