Step Into Change

The reality of significant change for some people that walk into my office is terrifying. If you ask people living with PTSD, chronic pain, debilitating anxiety or any other nervous system issue that interferes with daily life they would say all I want is to feel better, be different.

When the idea of real change becomes a possibility as it does with Somatic Therapy the reality of handling life without these issues is scary. Our brains and nervous systems unconsciously react to what we have been feeding them all along.

As humans, we can get addicted to the way our nervous systems handle life even when it is not beneficial for us.

When we allow a way of being to define us what happens when that definition resolves itself?

What happens when situations that used to signal threat in our nervous systems don’t any longer?

REal change happens. Growth that allows for new perspectives, new awareness to behaviors, new acceptance of who you are.

There is no going back to what your nervous system has always followed once trauma has left.

Sometimes the shift is too much, and when given awareness we may choose to stay stuck. No blame should be attributed to these individuals that cannot move forward.

I am asked how I became the person I am today because it is very different from the person I was.

I reply I had to look at what trauma I was holding and let it go. I had to learn to sit with uncomfortable sensations and rest in them until they shifted. Most importantly I had to want to be a different version of myself.

This work is hard. Consider all you will lose and all you will gain and then decide if this work is for you.

I know you are brave enough to do this maybe all you need is a steady hand to hold. My hand is steady and I am very excited to meet you and see who you become. Call me and set up your free Somatic Therapy consultation.
