Life showed you just how dark it can get.

Something devastating happened and you know you aren’t the same. Maybe it was big, maybe it was many small things that became death by 10,000 paper cuts.

But time heals everything and what’s in the past is in the past, or so they say. 

Why not just be positive and choose differently, right?  That’s what they say.  They mean well and want to help but it doesn’t work.  Besides, they don’t know what it’s like to be you.

That which does not kills us makes us stronger right? Wrong. It’s making you either angry, bitter, or numb to life and depressed.  Or you now live with an anxiety that’s an overly sensitive alarm that is always on and if you do snooze it, it comes back again. 

You don’t talk about it. 

You tried, it made it worse or you put it in a box in your mind and went about your business.  

It didn’t stay there.

Might as well just accept it and plan for the worst. 

Or avoid the world and the people in it because it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

You tried to fix it, and it didn’t work out. 

You reframed it in your mind time and again and tried to forgive…. And nothing changed.

The trauma lives on, but you haven’t. Not really, not fully.

 Existing in survival mode like this is no way to go through life.

Somatic Experiencing offers deeper way to heal.  These bad things that happened aren’t in the story in your mind; they live in the body.

Trauma puts us in a state of overwhelm as our fight or flight defenses are in overdrive. Naturally we freeze, shutdown, only to bounce back into fight/flight.

This pattern is ruled by the part of our brain that is ancient and far more powerful than your thoughts or emotions.

 I use Somatic Experiencing to help you gain the strength to regulate and heal your nervous system. 

It involves mindfulness, breath work, and directing awareness in a space of non-judgment to help transform the life force energy in your nervous system bound by trauma.

As this release happens, you can experience Post-Traumatic Growth.  You become more resilient to life’s ups and downs, connect to loved ones more deeply and set boundaries to keep out toxic people.  The body can experience safety again on a felt level.

In this state, we have more ability to access creativity and connection.  Senses become sharper and there is a noticeable increase in life force energy. You will feel the change.

 

Creating and maintaining the life you want to manifest can become reality.  Call today and invest in your greater self.
