➡️By the time they find me, many of my trauma clients have spent countless hours researching their symptoms, potential causes, and possible solutions.
After trying various conventional interventions that didn’t fully resolve their challenges, there is often a deep sense of hopelessness and apprehension.
In some of the testimonials I’ve shared, clients have used the words “woo woo”, “last resort” and “out of options” to describe how they felt when first deciding to explore paths less travelled with me 👣.
While one’s willingness to try something different provides a strong access point for our work together, sometimes even disbelief helps us quite a bit because there are no pre-conceived ideas, scripts, or agendas 💡.
Disbelief can also mean we’re able to appreciate the smaller steps forward because they come as such a surprise.
Instead of making a beeline towards pre-determined outcomes, we support the body’s intelligence to give us more accurate information, come online, and start taking care of business ⚡.
In my work of guiding people somatically, emphasis is placed on the body’s experience (emotional, physical, nervous-system based, spiritual, energetic, collective) with the mind as a witness 🧠. There is absolutely no agenda, and both belief and disbelief can be exceptionally supportive, because for either belief or disbelief to happen, a degree of engagement with the work has to take place.
👉This approach allows for healing even when the mind doubts the methods and modalities, or when we have no explicit memory of a traumatic experience, despite living with its effects (such as pre- and perinatal trauma or ancestral trauma, to name just a few).
