Feeling Alright Counseling: A Somatic Approach
Get back to feeling like yourself !!
We can access through the body what is not available through the mind alone. Somatic therapy and Somatic Experiencing connects the mind and the body and brings you back to the version of yourself you've been missing. I believe we all know how to heal and move forward but it can be hard to find the way with all the chaos life hands us. I am here to help you clear the chaos.
Life and living is all about balance, right? When the bad days out number the good we feel out of balance; in our mind and in our body. At Feeling Alright my goal is help my clients find their equilibrium. Traditional therapy has always been about your mind; what are you thinking, how are you managing, what does that mean to you? At Feeling Alright, I combine traditional "talk therapy" with a more modern body-based approach called Somatic Experiencing. We focus on bringing the unconscious into the conscious where it can be worked through and healed. Your body holds your ENTIRE HISTORY; things you can remember and all the things you can't. With Somatic Experiencing, we use the body as our guide and we listen to what it has to say; through sensations, movements, images, and emotions. This, along with some good old fashioned talk therapy, creates a profound framework for healing and finding balance. Our history is with us, always, and sometimes that is exactly what is throwing us off-kilter. If you've tried therapy before but haven't ever really felt "different" afterwards, I invite you to give it a try. All you have to do, really, is show up and listen to yourself.
Your body has a story to tell.
Will you listen?
