There is so much more I could write here about how western society views and benefits from our bodies being something to fix. It’s a billion dollar market…and Somatics has become a branch of that. As practitioners it’s up to us to h learn this within our body-mind and then hold space in this way for our clients also. Come into session with curiosity of what it’s like to just be, without the expectations placed upon us by ourselves, society, culture, religion. Start from there. It’s how you build something from nothing, by stripping it back. Building trust and safety within by just being, when sometimes it was never an option. And everything in between, I know it’s a privilege, but if we have it use it to better the world. Build relation.

I will never not use or give my clients nervous system regulation tools. They can feel life saving in the moment. They are so important for Somatic Therapy. When we are constantly suppressing any heightened feeling in our body with nervous system regulation our body begins to believe that feeling is unsafe, it can cause a numbness and disconnection from the body-mind. There is a difference with freeze and discomfort. If you’ve experienced freeze response you will know this. We have developed an online culture of constant suppression of our nervous system with all the regulatory processes. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO FEEL. When feeling is causing a shutdown or a freeze then that’s a trauma response and it needs closure of the cycle your body is reliving, not regulation. They are completely different.

Use the tools if you need them. If there is something else under there and the same response keeps rearing its head then it needs to be completely not suppressed, this is when it manifests into physical symptoms. Anxiety, Depression or even physical pain. All can be suppressed emotional cycles.

We develop this feeling of we are too much if our emotions were shut down. If our caregivers did not have the emotional capacity to allow us to fully feel and develop. They may have developed this themselves from a generational wound. When we are young we look to our caregivers for emotional support and security, if this is fractured in anyway, we can believe it is us. Our feelings don’t matter. We become hyper-independent because we cannot rely on others for safety in the emotional capacity.

We need to feel through this in a supportive setting to allow our nervous system to process this in real time and to allow any shame we feel around feeling or asking for help to be processed.

Shame cannot be felt through on your own. We need support. You are worthy of this support.

We are energy, it’s got a bad rep. Whether it’s science or spiritual they both agree in different context.Our emotions are energy. Just described in different ways. Whatever one you connect to, it’s important to realise that if emotions are hard to access then it may be because little you was never supported or felt safe to feel. This is what nervous system you are working with and expecting a lot from, a scared inner child.

We all need guidance and support at some point in our lives. Especially if these stuck emotions are starting to present as physical feelings, your body is trying to talk to you.

This is what I do. Support and guide your nervous system into the present. Are you ready to start feeling?

Somatic Therapy can be the missing link you've been looking for.

I see and hear it from new clients every time they enter my room. They've been talking about the same issues and dealing with symptoms for years but they are caught in the same cycles of Anxiety, Depression, physical pain and highly active 'on' feeling in their nervous system. To me, it makes sense. If you are re-living these experiences without the nervous system 'finding a way out' and realising the danger is in the past then yes, no wonder your still dealing with the symptoms.

Somatic Therapy helps close these stress cycles your nervous system is reliving by brining in movements associated with flight or fight response and helps your body realise that you got out alive. It also can help build trust with actully FEELING your emotions, helping you process what many people descrobe to me as the sensation of being stuck and not able to connect. Disconnection is a Trauma responce, I'm here to help guide you in a supportive setting, out of that freeze. I have the tools. That is Somatic Therapy. A new way of living. We need community, support and each other, its how we thrive. Are you ready to feel that support?

This can beone of the reasons that a deep breath makes you panic. It also explains why breathwork can push people into big cathartic “releases” especially if you have been in freeze for so long. To come out freeze we come through fight or flight, then we need to support this to integrate.

For a body that is on, pushing a deep breath can make you panic because it’s not ready, it feels you still need protecting. You’re stripping away that armour without support.

If someone is showing the signs of on, we track the breath before we begin. We use Somatic movement associated with coming from on to off. It’s slow, it’s a lot of back and forward, pendulation between protection and the curiousity of how it feels to drop that, and everything in between. I visibly SEE when it happens, we both visible witness the breath coming, and then the exhaustion hits. Sometimes big deep yawns and a full body exhaustion follows. The body finally feeling supported to let go, to come down.

This is Somatic Trauma Integration. It’s where change happens, when you are supported.

Is oversharing a struggle for you when it comes to creating connection and community? In this post I touch on how this may be hiding a trauma response. If you relate I would be interested in the why. Whats under the need to overexplain and overshare.

This can also be due to your flavour of neuro diversity, and that is great. You will find people you align with, who can keep up and connect. But if you are noticing it is effecting your wellbeing, your ability to be at ease with silence or people ‘not knowing’ then there may be something we can work through together to make life and society easier to navigate

It sometimes can be as simple as that. Connection with the only intention of being supported. Time for you to process and be held. Allow those emotions and feelings to come up in a supportive space.

It’s maybe something that has never been accessible for you, this support. May it be because of environment or responsibility, support is something that can be limited. In this modern society individualism is pushed on us, dividing us. Having us thinking it is weak to need someone or need supports. But it’s built into the way we cope and manage, it takes a village not only to raise a child but to be a health adult.

Let me be that support for you.

We cry for many reasons. When we’re sad, when were happy. Tears of love and joy. Tears of grief. But what if we are struggling to cry? If we know it will make us feel better but it just wont come. This post touches on what it can mean for the bdy to come down from high alert with tears. We can be on for many reasons, our body percieving danger, we need to keep it together for others, conditioning that on is productive under the capatalist construct. There are many factors to bring in. What interests me is why your bdy feels the need to be on and what it means when to come down to regulated state, causes panic or even a resistance. What would it mean to you to just let go, fully. Do you believe this isnt an option? your body feels this is so.

That where we get curious. You may need support to come down, to cry. Let’s explore that.
