Healing Early Developmental & Inherited Family Trauma with Somatic Experiencing(SE), Co-Regulating T You may want to move towards lasting change.
I'm a Integrative Relational Somatic Psychotherapist and Somatic Practitioner working with developmental trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, chronic pain, chronic illness, syndromal conditions, emotional and relational challenges. I help people to develop awareness of the underlying physical responses that inform their emotions and behaviour. I use Co-Regulating Touch Bodywork for Trauma, NeuroAffective Touch and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to assist in Nervous System Resilience and Regulation to help change physiology for clients who work with me. I also offer online sessions on Zoom, if that suits your needs. You may be struggling in your relationship, suffering from anxiety or depression, experiencing low self-esteem, suffering from an eating disorder or grieving a loss. You may also be in transition and facing questions of identity, meaning or purpose in your life. You may be facing familiar feelings of stuckness and 'just going through the motions of life'. You may feel angry, sad or frustrated at the patterns in your life. You could be facing a crisis but you don’t have to be. You may be suffering from the hidden effects of trauma - a loss of connection with others - and you may feel numb, without knowing exactly why. Your self-esteem and feelings of well-being may be suffering. When facing difficulties in our lives, it can be helpful to engage with someone who listens deeply, understands and helps you make sense of your experience. Clients tell me that they find me understanding, caring, and supportive. They feel connected when working with me and trust me to share the challenges they are facing – they feel accepted without being judged. There’s an unmistakable link between hidden, early developmental trauma and chronic anxiety, depression, relational struggles, illness or pain. As an integrative relational somatic therapist and whole body somatic practitioner, I work with you deeply at the level of the nervous system and body sensations to heal invisible, long-held trauma, so that your emotional and physical symptoms can heal. You don’t have to be defined by your symptoms and it is possible to feel better. Somatic Experiencing (SE), Co-Regulating Touch Bodywork for Trauma, Somatic Relational Awareness & Inquiry and Body-Mind Centering are some of the methods we will explore together. I will be both supportive and active and help you create new kinds of understanding, possibility and embodiment, so you can progress, at your pace, to rise into the fullness of who you are. Your nature is fluid - naturally at ease and free. You may have spent a long time keeping what you feel inside, not knowing what you feel or not feeling able to speak up about it. You may feel stuck, in emotional or physical pain, anxious, depressed or suffering. You don’t have to be. No matter what your history, ease and freedom is possible for you. Wholeness and joy are already in you. Our work together will support you to access what’s true inside of you. You may be struggling in your relationship, experiencing low self-esteem, struggling with an eating disorder or body image concerns, going through a divorce or grieving a loss. You may feel angry, sad or frustrated at the patterns that you’ve noticed in your life and don’t know how to get to the root of what’s happening for you and move towards lasting change. You can learn about embodiment, your nervous system and how your body is giving you messages that are helpful for you to learn how to understand. Let’s take time to slow down, notice and get in to your body. Your body holds a map of your emotional history. Allow yourself to feel and know your body in a full and deep way. Embody the fullness of your life and yourself. Feel grounded in the truth of yourself. Be with what’s here for you now. Touch in to the sensations inside of you and understand what your feelings truly mean for you. You may be judging yourself harshly and your self-esteem and feelings of well-being may be suffering. When facing difficulties in our lives, it can be helpful to engage with someone who will take part in our dance of co-regulation - someone who listens deeply, understands, helps you make sense of your experience - and will help you cultivate embodied resilience within yourself, in your relationships and in your life. To begin, we will take time for you to develop a sense of safety between us - cultivating and nurturing a caring, connected and supportive relationship, so that you can trust me to share what may be challenging you - while feeling accepted without being judged. Embodying the truth of you is possible - along with lasting change and growth.

What I see women struggling with the most on their healing journey is under estimating how much support they need. ⭐️ It makes sense because we were taught to “look together” and to not be a burden. ⭐️ Well, it’s not a burden to want to feel held, supported and understood. ✨⭐️ That’s why I’m offering the upcoming Being Held group somatic healing series. ⭐️ Every woman is welcome in this soft space of support and somatic healing. ⭐️ All you need to do is show up as you are, once a month - beginning on Tuesday, February 24th at 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm ET - and every last Tuesday of the month until the end of May. ⭐️ This group will support you to become more fully yourself, more sovereign, more free and to feel more ease. ⭐️ We can touch and be touched by one another’s presence, even when we gather Zoom. ⭐️ Message me and get in touch to sign up. ⭐️ www.kimcochrane.ca ⭐️

Love is the steady capacity to stay present. 🌟 To respect yourself and others. 🌟 To act without domination. 🌟 To include, rather than exile. 🌟 With compassion, understanding and practice, we can soften reactivity, widen our perspective and strengthen care for self and others. 🌟 When we can be with suffering where it lives - in our bodies, relationships and systems in society. 🌟 Let’s be with our pain and fully embrace and feel it - together. 🌟 Let’s soften the edges of suffering, by noticing other parts of our bodies and lives that feel softer - so we can support more ease in our bodies and lives. 🌟 with you. 🌟

The key to feeling better is embracing feeling badly. 🌟 In order to feel less anxiety, overwhelm and pain is to embrace the difficult feelings you have and begin to build capacity to feel distress, pain or fear. 🌟 When you notice those feelings of fear or anxiety, befriend them in your chest or stomach - turn to them and care for them with compassion and understanding. 🌟 Give yourself your loving presence without judging or blaming yourself. 🌟 with love 🌟

The unintegrated past obscures our view of present day reality. 🌟 Together, we will attune to the needs of the traumatized physiology, while gently supporting the nervous system to recognize safety and align to the nature of the present moment. 🌟 Using neuroscience, resonance, attunement and presence- the body will finally receive enough of what it needs to recalibrate and heal.🌟

You are not lost, you have been shaped by the conditioned patterns of your life.🌟 You are taking space to connect with yourself. 🌟 You are not being selfish when you put your needs first. 🌟 You are no longer holding it together - you are learning to feel at home in yourself - and feeling as though you belong in your own life. 🌟

Codependency is a way that we seek safety outside of ourselves. 🌟 To change our state we may use substances, behaviours and sometimes people (many of our relationships), to do so.🌟 When we place all of our energy in a person outside of ourselves- we can forget who we are, what our needs are and what we are capable of. 🌟 Many of us are struggling with codependency, and have not learned to take care of ourselves - taking care of others instead. 🌟 We grew up believing that we earned safety and belonging by taking care of others instead of caring for your own wellbeing - in a way that no one else can. 🌟 During our work together, we slowly begin to face and feel our feelings, our fears and our pain. 🌟 As our capacity to be with ourselves and others begins to expand - we learn who we truly are and what we need - and notice our feelings are not permanent - they rise and fall like waves in the ocean. 🌊 with you 🌟💗 www.kimcochrane.ca 💗🌟

The trauma vortex pulls us in to looping thoughts, looping sensations and looping stories that reinforce the same message - everything is bad and dangerous. 🌟 💗 When our bodies tighten like this, it’s hard to notice neutrality or ease - the sensations that could make your body feel more spacious. 🌟💗 My absolute desire for you is that you realize your presence - which is so valuable - is available to you 100 per cent of the time. 🌟💗 That your flavour of love, care, kindness and honesty is available from you, towards you, in every moment of the day. 🌟💗 My deepest desire is that you crack open and find your wholeness right there, where it always was, within you, where it will forever be. 🌟💗

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for your consciousness. 🌟💗 Your body already holds the answers, I will facilitate the space for them to reveal themselves.🌟💗 My deepest desire is for you to realize that your presence - which is so valuable - is available to you at all times. 🌟💗 That your particular blend of love, care, kindness and honesty is available from you, towards you, during every moment of the day. 🌟💗 In the here and now - you can allow yourself to value yourself just because you are you. 🌟💗 Not because of anything you did or didn’t do, just because you are you. 🌟💗 with you with gratitude 🌟💗

I recently had the opportunity to support someone to come back to herself. 🌟 I invited her to come back and herself, to move, to shake, to notice and attune to her body and in some ways that felt like a relief to her. 🌟 What if you could actually feel better - not just ok - but spacious - at ease - and love your life. 🌟 You can truly thrive. 🌟 With me, I want you to feel truly cared for and seen. 🌟 with love 🌟 💗www.kimcochrane.ca 💗
