The brain comes last.
The body reacts before the brain creates a thought, story, understanding. We will have a physical somatic experience of an emotion before our brain has converted the information into meaning. Our throat constricts before we even know we are afraid.
Sometimes the mind stumbles to catch up and will rely on default survival responses to explain away or block the feeling.
Our body says fear, we might translate it to anger (bc fear won’t protect me), and then it might show up as criticism (get this gross feeling off me! Put it over there, with someone else).
Our bodies are so cool. It’s really worth getting to know yours 💜
I’m looking for two people interested in long term commitment to somatic work. I am completing my Somatic Experiencing training and would love to work regularly with a few people that are open to me playing around with new approaches. Virtual, Tuesdays or Sundays.
For the purpose of these sessions, I am looking for people that have good support systems in place, are not currently in crisis or just beginning their trauma processing, who may be open to movement/dance being incorporated, and are not close friends of mine ☺️
For anyone else interested in trying starting somatic work, I have a holiday offering of five sessions for $250 (virtual only). Holidays can be a difficult time for many. I’m here to offer support for your nervous system as you navigate another year ✨
