David Phillips - Energetic Awakenings

David Phillips - Energetic Awakenings Energetic Awakenings helps you achieve personal transformation through body based therapy & energy work.

Main modalities are: Core Energetics, Imago Couples Therapy & Reiki. Personal transformation is a change in the way you feel about yourself and subsequently the world. Hidden beneath the physical surface, are levels of emotions, thought patterns and learned beliefs that help shape your self image. Imbalances and energy blockages on these levels manifest as emotional discomforts and even physical illnesses. The most effective way to create transformative change is to uncover root causes and begin the healing process from the deepest emotional level. Conventional therapy and medicine take a different approach to healing. Body based therapy and energy healing offer a holistic healing solution encompassing body, mind and spirit.

the body keeps score — but it also keeps running the tab long after the danger is gone.

if you notice yourself bracing constantly, reacting faster than you mean to, exhausted for no clear reason: your system might be stuck in a loop it was never meant to stay in.

slowing down is the medicine.

small things that actually move the needle in your relationship:

stop trying to fix the argument and get curious about it
· ask "what did that bring up for you?" instead of defending yourself
· say "I think I missed something — can we start over?" when it's escalating
· notice when you've left the conversation even though you're still in the room

create safety before you try to have the hard conversation
· check in about timing — "is now a good time or should we come back to this?"
· say what you need before you say what upset you
· lower your voice when you want to raise it. seriously.

after a fight
· repair doesn't have to be a full debrief. sometimes it's just "I don't want to be weird with you"
· the goal isn't to win the recap. it's to find each other again
· if the same fight keeps happening, the solution isn't saying it louder

the small stuff actually matters. show up for your relationship like it's something you chose — because it is.

if you can't sit in a quiet room without immediately reaching for your phone, your to-do list, or something to fix...

that's worth getting curious about.

not judgmental. just curious:
what is the stillness asking you to feel that you keep outrunning?

Three things that will quietly change your relationship if you practice them consistently:

1. Name your state before you speak: Before a hard conversation, try saying out loud: "I'm feeling activated right now." Not as an excuse. As information. For both of you.

2. Curiosity over conclusion: When your partner does something that stings, ask what's underneath it before you react to the surface. "What's happening for you right now?" changes everything.

3. Repair fast and mean it: Not a quick sorry to end the tension. A real acknowledgment of what landed hard and why it mattered.

None of these are complicated, yet all of them are hard.
But they do get easier with practice and support.

If you want to go deeper on any of this, follow for more.
Or reach out directly. This is the work I live for.

Relationships have a way of showing us parts of ourselves we never would have found on our own.

The capacity to love deeply, the wounds we didn't know were there, the strength we didn't know we had.

What's one thing yours taught you that nothing else could have?

One thing I've learned after 20 years of working with couples:

The couples who make it aren't the ones who stop struggling.
They're the ones who stopped struggling alone.

They found a way to bring their pain into the space between them instead of weaponizing it against each other.

They learned to say "I'm scared" instead of "you always do this."
They learned that underneath almost every fight is someone who just wants to feel chosen.

That shift doesn't happen automatically. It happens intentionally.

With the right tools. The right space. And usually a little help.

That's what we offer at Get the Love You Want.

A few things that are actually nervous system dysregulation disguised as personality traits:

- Being "too sensitive."
- Needing a lot of reassurance.
- Shutting down when things get emotional.
- Feeling exhausted after intimate conversations.

None of these are flaws. None of these are permanent.

They're patterns your body learned when it needed to survive something. And survival responses don't just turn off when life gets safer. They have to be consciously unwound.

That's what somatic healing does. That's what Imago work does. That's what a good therapist or practitioner helps you do.

You are not broken. You have patterns. And patterns can change.

If you've ever looked back at a relationship and thought "why did I keep choosing that?" — this is for you.

It's not about bad judgment. It's about a nervous system that learned to confuse intensity with love, and chaos with connection.

The pattern makes total sense once you understand the biology behind it. Swipe through and share this with someone who's been asking themselves the same question.

Here's something nobody tells you about resentment:

It doesn't build from big blowups.

It builds from the thousand small moments you swallowed something instead of saying it: The need you didn't voice. The boundary you didn't hold. The hurt you let pass because it felt easier than the conversation.

And then one day it's just... there. Heavy. Between you and the person you love most.

The good news? It's reversible.

But it takes a kind of honesty most people are afraid to start with. Not brutal honesty. Brave honesty.

The kind that says "I need you to hear this" instead of "I need to win this."

That's a skill. It can be learned. We teach it.

Most people think they have a relationship problem...

They don't.

They have a nervous system that never learned it was safe to be close to someone.

The fights. The distance. The same argument on repeat. These aren't signs that something is wrong with you or your partner. They're signs that two people are trying to connect while their bodies are braced for impact.

Safety comes before intimacy. Always.

When you start working on your nervous system, your relationships don't just get better. They transform.

This is the work. And it's available to you.

Most people think relationship struggles come down to communication. But there's something happening underneath that — in your body, before you even speak.

Your nervous system is constantly scanning for safety or threat in every relationship you're in. And it learned what "safe" feels like from your very first ones.

This carousel breaks down what that means and what you can actually do about it.

Save it and share it with someone who needs to hear this.
