Somatic Processing is a form of healing using the body's innate wisdom. It allows natural, biological processes to unfold and find resolution. The body's wisdom is to compensate and adapt to challenges, which is both helpful and not helpful. Sometimes these challenges get stuck in our nervous system and remain unresolved. When this occurs, we have automatic behaviors and experiences that are beyond our control which negatively impacts our lives.
Somatic Processing can help you gain better self management and get yourself unstuck which enables you to fulfill your full potential. Resolving these automatic sticking points enables you to live in your True Form.
Counseling typically relies on talking and insight to promote change, whereas Somatic Processing is a form of counseling that works with your own innate temperament and desire to grow and develop. This is a “body-up” approach versus a “head-down” approach to counseling. Both approaches have an important place in helping people heal. All too often clients come to a body-based counseling approach after plenty of “talk-therapy” looking for a deeper level of healing and resolution.
System OverloadAll of us experience times of overload when we successfully navigate the challenges and overcome the hurdles. These experiences build our resilience and broaden our capacity to face new and more difficult challenges in the future.
And then there are times when our nervous system has been challenged and overloaded and we do not fully metabolize the neuro chemical changes in our bodies. It’s these times that we automatically design compensations that enable us to move forwards. These compensations drain our energy and interfere with our optimal functioning and remain unresolved in our central nervous system. When you automatically react, or under respond to your present circumstances and it’s occurring beyond your control, your body’s innate wisdom is attempting to find resolution to these previously unresolved times of overload. |
Clear The ViewThe view is blocked and the path is not clear when our bodies have not fully metabolized the times we have been stressed or overloaded: emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, financially.
Somatic Processing enables you to find resolution, explore and let go of the “baggage” you have been carrying on your life’s journey. You will move forwards unencumbered, which enables you to grow and develop as you are naturally designed to do. Living in your True Form means embodying your full potential, in each moment, and being able to bring the best version of yourself to the moments of your life that matter most. What prevents you from living fully, addressing the blocks, allowing your innate wisdom to find resolution and grow to be the best person possible? Don't know your life’s purpose? Does your purpose seem overwhelming or out of reach? What might be blocking your energy? You can make a choice to face and embrace these blocks and enable your body’s innate wisdom to find healing and resolution. |
