A union of talk-therapy and bodywork, Transformative Touch Somatic Therapy uses supportive touch and dialogue to guide you into safety and connection with your body so that you may integrate the information it has for you.
Whether you are looking to process and move through stored trauma or feel a nagging sense of irritation and dis-connection or want to develop skills in intimacy or want to work with chronic pain or illness, working with the body is useful and I might even say, necessary.
Energy needs to move. When an instinctual or soul response is truncated, cut off, unfinished or pushed down, it is stored in the body as trauma, as unprocessed energy. Like a record skipping in the same spot over and over again, the needle of the player needs some gentle re-attunement, needs to be carefully reminded of a new path, so that the music can keep playing with ease. As Gabor Mate reminds us, “Trauma is not the external event that happens, trauma is the impact of that event which is the disconnection from ourselves.” Working with the body we work with the energetics of historical and present day impacts, freeing up space to connect with the flow of our authentic selves.
