Hand on heart, my friends.
When all parts of us feel internally connected and held in the loving embrace of the body of which is an aspect, then they will feel safe and nourished at last. The first step is to become curious about this ‘other’ inside whom we do not really know.

Dr. Stephen Porges, developer of Polyvagal Theory, says, "Safety transforms our biology, raising oxytocin and vagal tone, lowering cholesterol, softening the fascia, creating the physiological foundation for recovery."
In other words, safety reshapes the body from the inside out. These shifts give the nervous system the stability it needs to recover and reconnect. Safety is not just a feeling-- safety is the treatment for healing trauma and building back resilience in the nervous system.
If you’re ready to deepen your skillset and learn more about this kind of physiological safety, take the next step by learning at PVI, the founding home of Polyvagal Theory. Earn your Polyvagal-Informed Certificate and join a community committed to changing how healing happens.

Your body understands touch, warmth and kind words. It responds to your kind touch and warmth. Studies show, 20 seconds of touch activates your feel good hormones that activate your parasympathetic nervous system creating calming sensation in your body.

Hand on heart, my friends.
Change can feel like standing on shifting ground, but self-compassion is what helps us stay steady. When we meet uncertainty with kindness instead of fear, we discover a sense of trust and resilience within ourselves.

Constructive steps and questions to ask when feeling intense or overwhelming feelings.
Please keep in mind that sometimes this is best explored with support, especially if you are new to dialoging with your body and parts. Also, there are times when we all need support!!

Lovely conversation about living a meaningful life and the challenges men face about not being connected to their bodies.
How can a man hold space for his wife when no one held space for him, and he doesn't know what emotions and feelings are inside him?

Were you sexually abused as a child? Are you stuck as an adult? I know how that feels. You’ve read all the right books, tried everything you can think of, and the same negative things keep happening again and again in your life and relationships. It’s a depressing hamster wheel, and you can’t figure out how to stop it. Ugh!
I can help. I went through all of that on my own journey and finally found my way out. I can help you escape this depressing cycle, too.
That’s why I offer private coaching for those stuck in this frustrating place. Some just need an hour, and they can move forward again. Others need more. Some need group coaching. Everyone is different. I help people all over the world using Skype or Zoom, or over the phone.
I charge $125.00 per hour for Abuse Survivor Coaching. Email svava@educate4change.com to set up an appointment. You can also book on my calendar using the link HERE!
If you need someone safe, someone who knows exactly how you feel and won’t judge, contact me. We can talk about it. You’ll feel much better. You really will.
Other Services: All services are provided using the internet (Skype or Zoom) or telephone.
