Ever get stuck in your head and feel powerless to act? 😰💬

It’s the day before your big presentation at work. Your mind begins to spiral with doubts—replaying what might go wrong, or second-guessing every slide and sentence. The internal chatter grows loud, questioning your readiness even when you’ve prepared thoroughly. You think to yourself: “Just get through it!”

But what if you didn’t have to power through?
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-based approach to therapy that helps you work with your nervous system—not against it. It directs you to notice the tension fuelling the racing thoughts.

💡 Instead of ignoring the tension, you pause. You notice the racing heart. Then, you shift your attention to something grounding—like your feet on the floor or a memory that makes you feel safe.
This simple shift helps your body process stress in real-time.
 ✨ Less overwhelm. More calm. Over time, anxiety doesn’t get to run the show anymore.

🛋️Therapy can look like this—and it can change everything.

Feeling stuck in stress cycles you can’t think your way out of? 🧠➡️💥 Your body might be holding onto trauma your mind has long forgotten. Discover how Somatic Experiencing gently unlocks stored tension and restores your natural calm. This isn’t talk therapy—it’s body-first healing that actually works.

Somatic Experiencing reminds us that healing isn’t just a mental exercise—it’s a full-body process. In a culture that often prioritizes thinking over feeling, SE invites us to slow down, listen to our bodies, and rediscover our innate capacity to heal.

Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, chronic stress, or simply want to feel more grounded in daily life, Somatic Experiencing offers a compassionate and effective path toward nervous system regulation and emotional freedom.

🪧 s your ambition is built on survival 👇

Here are 5 signs your ambition may be built on survival rather than true fulfillment:

➡️ Most of your habits, daily actions or behaviours are based on someone else’s needs.
➡️You feel guilty or restless whenever you have downtime.
➡️You feel highly responsible and take on a huge mental load at work, emotionally or financially in your household, and/or in parenting.
➡️You chase goals to escape not expand.
➡️You seek validation and often don’t ever feel you get enough of it.

If any of these sound like you, we can help you to reflect, release, and re-engage meaningfully in your life again.

Take note 📝⬇️

One of the most challenging parts of healing for anyone recovering from toxic family, intimate, or friend relationships is developing a framework of what a healthy relationship looks like.

📝Here are 5 things to take note of when examining the close relationships in your life.

💡Keep in mind that the closer this person is to you the more important each of the below may be.

This relationship provides me with…
✅A sense of felt safety. I can be myself in both good moments and hard times.
✅A sense of being seen and known (attunement). I feel heard and this person strives to get to know me.
✅The experience of felt comfort (soothing). This person puts effort in making me feel at ease both emotionally and physically depending on the situation.
✅A sense of being valued (expressed delight). I know that what I share and bring to the relationship is appreciated.
✅A sense of support for being and becoming one’s unique best self. This person brings the best out of me and champions my growth as opposed to competes with or discourages me.

One reflective practice to try 🌿

Bullet journaling has been a personal fav mindfulness practice of mine to stay organized, to reflect on + track my growth, and to celebrate my successes. It allows me to notice what consumes my energy and what I want to create more space in my life for. As a Mom of 4 (👦🏼X2 + 🐈 + 🐶), Business Owner, and Trauma Therapist, maintaining my wellbeing is essential to show up more presently and authentically.

Emotions are automatic, feelings can be shifted ⬇️

Emotions are involuntary, physical responses to stimuli, like fear or joy, that arise from the brain’s processing of external events. Feelings, on the other hand, are the conscious interpretations and reflections of those emotions, shaped by our thoughts, beliefs, and experiences.

You can’t change your emotion but you can shift how you feel. Here’s one tip to try ⬇️

When difficult feelings arise, practice self-compassion by treating yourself with the same kindness you would offer a friend in a similar situation. Instead of judging yourself for feeling a certain way, acknowledge the emotion without attachment and remind yourself that it’s okay to feel. Try to pause, breathe, and ask yourself what you need in that moment, whether it’s rest, understanding, or simply space to process.

Was your first session awkward or overwhelming?

📋Initial therapy sessions have been traditionally used to gather specific details about your mental health and history to guide the direction that future sessions take. While this has become a typical way therapy is initiated, it DOES NOT have to be where you start.

🙅‍♀️For those stuck in survival mode, in recovery from recent or cumulative traumatic experiences, or going through a recent major life transition or crisis like a breakup, divorce, or recent job loss - diving into history can feel overwhelming or even invasive.

✅ A trauma-informed approach to therapy requires the therapist to attune to your specific needs and identify an appropriate stage of therapy to begin with. Seeking input from you is a great way your therapist can ensure they are collaborating with you and have correctly attuned to your needs.

💡Some common phases of trauma therapy include safety + relationship building, stabilization + skills, trauma remembrance + integration, grief/mourning, and/or reassessment + reengagement in life. These phases are not linear. You may need to stay in a phase longer or return to a phase as much as needed throughout your healing journey. You and your therapist can collaborate to determine what might suit your current needs as well as be something your nervous system can tolerate.

🛋️At CP, we strive to be relational and collaborative. We can offer a variety of trauma therapy modalities as no two healing journeys are completely alike. You are welcome to book a free initial consultation to learn more about how we can support you and make therapy less overwhelming. We also offer consultation to therapists looking to become more trauma-informed or hone their trauma therapy skills, including EMDR.
