Leah Fox Therapy

Leah Fox Therapy My approach to therapy is rooted in intuition, relational understanding, and clinical insight.

Using EMDR, IFS, and the Enneagram, I guide people in uncovering patterns that once offered protection, but have now become roadblocks to personal development. I work with people who are seeking more than just surface-level change, people who want deeper connection, peace, and joy. Those who are ready to learn to live more authentically and intentionally. Using my training in EMDR and the Enneagram, along with other evidence-based practices, I guide people in uncovering patterns that once offered protection, but have now become roadblocks to personal development. I am a relational therapist, meaning that I build a reparative connected relationship with my clients, offering an opportunity for them to feel seen in a way they have been longing for. I have seen time and again how such unconditional support and understanding creates fertile soil for people to grow into who they most deeply wish to be. Clients often express that they feel a sense of warmth, safety and trust with me.

Your body is a living clock, synced to the sun, the moon, and the turning of the earth.
When we ignore these natural rhythms, the nervous system loses coherence —
we feel wired but tired, overextended but undernourished.
✨ The Science:
• Light exposure within 60 minutes of waking stabilizes circadian rhythm, serotonin, and cortisol balance.
• Seasonal variation in light affects sleep cycles, immune function, and emotional regulation.
• Aligning work and rest cycles with natural light improves mood, energy, and creativity.
✨ The Somatic Experience:
You can feel the difference:
Morning light feels activating.
Midday sun feels sustaining.
Evening light feels grounding.
✨ The Practice:
* Step into daylight early each morning.
* Let your body slow down in winter instead of fighting it.
* Work in sprints, rest in rhythms, breathe with the season.
Our nervous systems evolved in forests, not offices.
To regulate is to remember — to live as part of the planet, not apart from it.

The Arrow Movement of Type Five brings the intellect back into relationship with the body.
Both arrows teach the balance between insight and embodiment.
💠 TOWARD → Type Seven (Activation):
– In contraction: scattered energy, overstimulation, avoidance of limits.
– In integration: curiosity, spontaneity, embodied joy.
– Somatic cue: energy rises, breath quickens, body awakens into movement.
💠 AGAINST ← Type Eight (Reparenting):
– In contraction: defensiveness, intensity, reactivity.
– In integration: grounding, embodiment, confident presence.
– Somatic cue: breath deepens into the belly; strength felt in the legs.
✨ The Five’s evolution is the union of mind and body.
Knowing becomes wisdom when it’s lived.
Note: Both arrow directions can manifest in either contraction or integration.
Toward reflects activation; against reflects reparenting.

Rest is the most intelligent thing your nervous system can do.
💠 The Science:
* The parasympathetic nervous system (vagus nerve) activates during rest, supporting regulation, digestion, and immune strength.
* Restful states increase prefrontal blood flow and improve insight, memory, and creative problem-solving.
* Rest balances cortisol, reducing inflammation and anxiety.
💠 The Somatic Experience:
Rest isn’t collapse — it’s a shift from effort to trust.
It’s the exhale after achievement, the softening after striving.
When you rest consciously, your body begins to repair without permission.
💠 The Practice:
* Let rest be rhythmic — short pauses throughout the day, not just long vacations.
* Track your energy the way you’d track light — notice when your body naturally wants stillness.
* When guilt arises for resting, reframe it: “I’m participating in my healing.”
Culturally, we’ve forgotten that stillness is intelligence —
a wisdom encoded in every breath and heartbeat.
When we rest, we don’t fall behind life.
We fall back into it.

The Arrow Movement of Type Four transforms emotion into embodiment.
Both directions bring balance — one through connection, the other through structure.
💠 TOWARD → Type Two (Activation):
– In contraction: over-giving, emotional dependence, rescuing.
– In integration: generosity, attunement, relational flow.
– Somatic cue: energy rises to the chest; heart opens outward.
💠 AGAINST ← Type One (Reparenting):
– In contraction: perfectionism, judgment, rigidity.
– In integration: discipline, grounded action, clarity.
– Somatic cue: breath steadies, energy anchors in the pelvis and legs.
✨ The Four’s work is not to escape feeling but to inhabit it with form.
When emotion meets structure, art becomes life.
Note: Both arrow directions can manifest in either contraction or integration.
Toward reflects activation; against reflects reparenting.

In a world obsessed with productivity, side quests are radical acts of nervous-system repair.
💠 The Science:
• EEG studies show rhythmic synchronization and increased cognitive flexibility during time in nature.
• fMRI data show lower amygdala activation — reduced fear and threat response.
• After only 90 minutes in nature, participants report less rumination and greater restoration.
• Cortisol levels drop; immune function rises.
💠 The Practice:
Thirty minutes outdoors each week supports well-being;
120 minutes consistently improves health and emotional regulation.
💠 The Meaning:
Side quests in nature remind us that growth isn’t linear — it’s cyclical, rhythmic, alive.
They expand creativity, deepen empathy, and re-pattern the nervous system for safety and wonder.
Try this:
* Take a “meeting” outside.
* End your day with sunlight on your face.
* Wander with no destination — let curiosity, not efficiency, guide you.
Every time you step into nature, you’re stepping toward coherence —
back into the wider rhythm your body already remembers.

The Arrow Movement of Type Three transforms ambition into authenticity.
Each direction rebalances the heart — one through rest, one through truth.
💠 TOWARD → Type Nine (Activation):
– In contraction: withdrawal, inertia, resistance to slowing down.
– In integration: calm, patience, self-acceptance.
– Somatic cue: breath widens across the back, body softens into rest.
💠 AGAINST ← Type Six (Reparenting):
– In contraction: anxiety, fear of letting others down.
– In integration: sincerity, dependability, grounded courage.
– Somatic cue: exhale lengthens, belly grounds, shoulders settle.
✨ The Three’s work is to stop proving and start inhabiting.
When being replaces performing, presence becomes their true success.
Note: Both arrow directions can manifest in either contraction or integration.
Toward reflects activation; against reflects reparenting.

Trust lives in the body —
not as a concept, but as a frequency of safety.
It arises when agency (the domain of regret)
and surrender (the medicine of disappointment)
find balance within us.
In trauma-informed language,
trust is the regulated middle ground between hypervigilance and collapse.
It’s the nervous system’s quiet confidence that I can stay with what is.
✨ Regret teaches us accountability.
✨ Disappointment teaches us humility.
✨ Trust teaches us presence.
And presence is where all healing begins.
When we trust, we stop outsourcing safety to others.
We start living from the inside out.
We discern rather than control.
We receive rather than grasp.
We rest rather than brace.
💠 Practice:
When you feel the impulse to tighten — pause.
Notice your breath.
Say inwardly: I am safe enough to stay.
That’s the essence of trust —
not the absence of pain, but the presence of self.

10/20/2025

The Arrow Movement of Type One teaches that balance requires softness.
Perfection can give way to presence when both arrows are integrated.
💠 TOWARD → Type Four (Activation):
– Awakens feeling and emotional depth.
– In contraction: frustration, melancholy, emotional intensity.
– In integration: tenderness, empathy, creative flow.
– Somatic cue: heart opens, breath deepens, rigidity loosens.
💠 AGAINST ← Type Seven (Reparenting):
– Restores play, joy, and ease.
– In contraction: escapism or denial of responsibility.
– In integration: lightness, humor, gratitude, and rest.
– Somatic cue: shoulders drop, chest expands, energy softens outward.
✨ The One’s liberation is not about being “better.”
It’s about being whole.
When they allow imperfection, they make space for grace.
Note: Both arrow directions can manifest in either contraction or integration.
Toward reflects activation; against reflects reparenting.

In every healthy relationship, there’s a natural current of polarity.
The masculine defines and directs; the feminine receives and includes.
One is not better than the other—they need each other.
Control emerges when fear overtakes trust.
When the feminine’s intuitive “yes” becomes anxious management.
When the masculine’s firm “no” hardens into rigidity or withdrawal.
As one article put it, control often disguises itself as “care,”
but over time it breeds resentment, loss of attraction, and fatigue.
In our patriarchal culture, masculine energy has long been overvalued—
structure, productivity, logic, outcomes.
So many women (and feminine-essenced people) have learned to survive
by mastering masculine modes of leadership—only to find themselves
exhausted, overfunctioning, and longing to feel safe enough to receive.
Letting go of control isn’t weakness.
It’s what allows trust to return.
It’s what lets the masculine lead with integrity again—
not through domination, but through grounded presence.
And it’s what allows the feminine to rest again—
not in submission, but in surrender rooted in self-trust.
When we honor both energies—structure and flow, clarity and inclusion—
we don’t lose power.
We rediscover harmony.

10/17/2025

The Arrow Movement of Type Two restores balance between giving and receiving.
Each direction offers a distinct medicine for the heart.
💠 TOWARD → Type Eight (Activation):
– Mobilizes assertiveness and strength.
– In contraction: control, reactivity, defensiveness.
– In integration: boundaries, leadership, embodied power.
– Somatic cue: breath rises into the chest, energy surges forward.
💠 AGAINST ← Type Four (Reparenting):
– Restores inward connection and emotional depth.
– In contraction: self-focus or longing for specialness.
– In integration: authenticity, sensitivity, and inner compassion.
– Somatic cue: energy settles downward; breath expands into the belly.
✨ Love isn’t sustainable without reciprocity.
The Two’s liberation is learning that care must circulate inward and outward alike.
Note: Both arrow directions can manifest in either contraction or integration.
Toward reflects activation; against reflects reparenting.

Trusting yourself is not a one-time revelation—it’s a daily return.
So many of us have internalized an invisible audience of imagined critics.
We “pop out” of ourselves to measure our choices against others’ reactions, expectations, or moral narratives.
But as psychologist Tara Brach reminds us, true belonging begins when we no longer betray ourselves to belong.
Self-trust grows every time you act in alignment with your true-wise self—the part of you that already knows what’s right and kind for your life.
This doesn’t mean rejecting feedback or becoming indifferent to others’ feelings.
It means releasing the illusion that other people’s comfort is a prerequisite for your integrity.
Every time you act from truth rather than fear of judgment, you strengthen the muscle of self-trust.
And when you trust yourself, relationships become cleaner—less performative, more authentic.
You’re no longer managing perceptions; you’re embodying reality.
And that embodiment is what allows others to trust you too.
