📣 Somatic Bodywork
With an increasing level of somatic practices becoming popular and treatments & classes of every modality encouraging you lean into that big emotional release or feeling of unease, it’s important we educate clients that this is not the way. In practice, when we start to feel uneasy, foggy, our hands and feet start to feel cold or sweaty, these are all signs that the nervous system is feeling overwhelmed and we should take a pause and reconnect with our body.
If we keep pushing through those feelings, we are in danger of re-traumatising our system. We need to listen, respect and nurture our relationship with our bodies - not force it to feel the sensations that felt uncomfortable in the first place.
We need to educate clients that the idea of quick fixes aren’t safe, that working with the marks that stress, anxiety and trauma leave in our bodies can take time to shift and change - If you build that foundation of safety with going slow, respecting how you are feeling; the good, bad, ugly, and see how far you come. I promise you, its worth it x
