🧠 How Do Emotions Affect Our Tissues? Discover the Connection! 🧠

Have you ever wondered how emotions might impact the tissues in your body? 🌟 In her latest article, Vivien Henderson, LMT, CST-D, dives into the profound connection between the mind and body through SomatoEmotional Release (SER) in CranioSacral Therapy (CST).

Emotions like shock, anger, or fear, especially those tied to traumatic events, can become trapped in our tissues, leading to physical discomfort and dysfunction. Through the gentle, yet powerful techniques of CST, these emotional components can be released, allowing for deep healing and restored balance.

Highlights from the Article:
The story of how a simple go-cart accident led to an insightful journey of healing emotional trauma embedded in the body.
An exploration of how CST can locate and release these "energy cysts," leading to profound shifts in both physical and emotional well-being.
Real-life case studies that showcase the transformative power of addressing the emotional layers within physical injuries.

Emerging research points to its potential role in:
