Are you a complex trauma survivor that’s done healing work but still feel stuck and like something is missing?
What is most important to you and what you long for, is found through your internal sensations and your gut feelings.
In talk therapy and other healing modalities, the focus is often on the cognitive understanding of what happened to us and how we can learn skills to cope with day-to-day life.
But this only helps us to survive and manage with the ways things are now.
In order to get to the root of the problem, we have to move beyond retelling of the story into renegotiating with our body and mind a new more empowered relationship by finding the reparative action to release us from survival mode into living fully in the here and now.
You’ve been in therapy, you’ve tried journaling, meditation, and yoga to navigate living with complex trauma. You can point to why things happen and you can sometimes catch yourself when you get triggered, but it keeps happening.
You ask yourself, what am I doing wrong? What’s missing? I’ve done so much work, why isn’t it enough?
And maybe is it me?
It’s not you. It’s how you’ve been taught healing works.
The missing piece in most healing processes is becoming aware of and learning how to understand the information given from our bodies and internal experiences.
This is so important because it allows for your to physically move through what’s keeping you stuck with a sense of safety, allowing for the relationship to the initial experience to change and ultimately the stuck energy will discharge leaving you with clarity, confidence, and with the ability to be in the present moment.
Results of an Embodied Approach to Healing:
Ability to connect with others while holding your own and others needs.
Less triggered, responding intentionally and living your life aligned with what you care about.
Ease and clarity in making decisions and holding your boundaries in situations you used to be overwhelmed in.
Ability to be present and grounded with a wide range of people emotions, and situations that would be triggering before.
Create possibilities and are creative during conflict instead of breaking down.
Feel supported and have the capacity to be able to love and be loved better.
Out of the isolation of survival mode and into a thriving, vibrant life that flows with less effort.
Somatic-based coaching offers a holistic way to transform with the end goal of how we behave and think is aligned with our visions and values—even under pressure or the same old conditions.
How Do I Know If I Have Unprocessed Trauma in My Body?
Have you ever found yourself over- or under-reacting to a situation for no obvious reason?
Maybe you find yourself screaming at your kids or partner over something really small. Or maybe you shut down when someone gets angry at you.
This is often due to the unresolved energy from the past that is locked in your nervous system.
When stress in our lives exceeds our ability to cope (ie during a highly emotionally overwhelming event) we survive by storing it in our bodies in the forms of flight, fight, freeze, appease, and dissociate so we can process it later when it is safe to do so.
When we are stuck in a survival state for a longer period of time, we continually sense danger when danger is not present, or completely shut down and lose our capacity to live in the present.
So how do we get out of this state and heal?
In order to heal from stress stored in the body, we must return our bodies to a state of equilibrium.
By adding the body into the healing process, we can move beyond only the mental understanding of what happened to us and begin to reprogram the body’s survival instincts, allowing for a greater sense of connection, safety, and ease in the body and life as a whole.
