Touch Talk Transform, LLC What is the Rubenfeld Synergy Method®? With the support of the Synergist, you begin to see that your physical and emotional experiences are connected.

Using the Rubenfeld Synergy Method®, Lori Schlosser assists clients in discovering the connection between their emotional and physical experiences and the wisdom of their body-mind. The Rubenfeld Synergy Method® (RSM) offers a gentle way to address what is happening both physically and emotionally, by combining talk with gentle touch and compassionate listening. RSM can help you develop awareness

of feelings and beliefs held in your body which result in energy blocks, tensions, physical and/or emotional pain and imbalances. Accessing this information often frees the body from pain, the mind from suffering and can give you the opportunity to live from conscious choice rather than from unconscious patterns. Who is Lori Schlosser? Lori came to RSM with a Masters and a PhD in Social Work, and over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. She has a certificate of specialization in gerontology and special expertise in wellness, recovery, self-care and resilience. Lori is an adjunct faculty member at the Rutgers School of Social Work and a Certified Laughter Leader. She is a member of the collaborative holistic practice of Dr. Wendy Warner at Medicine in Balance, LLC. As a professional Synergist, Lori is known for providing a warm, accepting and safe environment for healing, self-discovery and personal growth. She is committed to being completely present with each client as she guides them in becoming aware of the memories and messages stored in their bodies. Lori encourages, supports and celebrates with her clients as they begin to make choices with ease, change habits that don't work for them anymore and move with confidence in the world! What is a session like? The simultaneous use of talk and touch distinguishes the Rubenfeld Synergy Method® from other body-mind modalities. The client, fully-clothed, lies on a bodywork table, but may sit in a chair, stand, walk, or even dance. The session begins with the Synergist inviting the client to bring awareness to his or her body. The Synergist then makes gentle contact with the client using a listening touch. This listening touch heightens physical and emotional awareness and helps clients experience rather than just talk about their feelings. It allows the client to discover the wisdom of his or her body. Sessions are generally 45-60 minutes in length. Boundaries are always respected and sessions are strictly confidential.

Burnout does not always look like falling apart.
Sometimes it looks like functioning.
You still get up.
You still answer messages.
You still go to work.
You still look after everyone else.

But everything feels heavier.

Your patience is shorter.
Your concentration disappears.
Small decisions feel exhausting.
Things you normally enjoy start to feel like another task.

You may become quieter.
More irritable.
More withdrawn.
More emotional.

Or sometimes, you feel almost nothing at all.

Burnout can happen when you have been carrying too much for too long without enough rest, support, recovery or space to simply be.

And one of the hardest parts is that people often do not realise how depleted they are until their body and mind start forcing them to slow down.

Rest is not always the complete answer, but it is often part of the beginning.

So is asking for help.
Reducing what can be reduced.
Creating boundaries.
Giving yourself permission to stop operating at full capacity.

You do not have to wait until you completely fall apart before you take your exhaustion seriously.

I usually know burnout is creeping in when my patience gets shorter and my nervous system feels constantly “on.”

That’s normally my cue that I need to slow down before my body forces me to.

What is the first sign you notice when you are becoming burnt out?

Gilda Radner wrote this near the end of her life. It might be the most quoted thing she ever said.

She spent years making people laugh as one of the original stars of Saturday Night Live. Then came an ovarian cancer diagnosis, and a memoir called It’s Always Something — where she wrote this:

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.”

She died in 1989. People are still finding these words for the first time, every single day. 💛

Physical contact is vital for our wellbeing. New research is revealing why

06/24/2026

What you are made for will always exceed who you currently are, but inside of you lies the potential and capacity to become all that you are destined to be.

You carry a seed of greatness inside of you, the world can't wait to eat of your fruits, but they will never get to experience what you are made of, if you choose to remain as a seed.

A seed will have to go through changes, get dropped into the dirt, covered in darkness, struggle for the light, then spring forth out of the dirt, and grow and become a tree, full of fruits, a blessing to the world.

Change will never come if you keep waiting for someday or some time, you are the change you've been waiting for, you are the change you seek.

Get to work, build yourself, leave your comfort zone, come out of your shell, face your fears, pursue your dreams.

Self-compassion is key to a happy and fulfilling life. Here are five practical ways to be kind to yourself:

1 - Ask yourself what you need: Acknowledge that your needs are valid.

2 - Validate your pain: Recognize and accept your emotional experience.

3 - Remember you aren’t alone: We all struggle; you’re not isolated in your challenges.

4 - Honor your humanity: Being human means being imperfect.

5 - Treat yourself like you would treat a friend: Be supportive and helpful toward yourself.

Play, joy, and love are biological necessities. 🧬

The emerging science of epigenetics shows that your environment, your emotions, and your relationships can switch genes on and off, regulating everything from inflammation to immune function to how fast you age.

Your nervous system was designed for love and belonging, and when you deprive it of that, everything downstream suffers — your hormones, your immunity, your brain, your longevity.

Think of joy, connection, and play as part of your health stack; just as essential as what you eat, how you move, and how you sleep.

So laugh more, love deeply, and stop treating joy like something you have to earn after all the “real” health stuff is done.

It IS the real health stuff.
