Introducing Embodiment Psychotherapy, Supervision, & Consultation.
Transforming Psychotherapy
In the treatment of trauma, complex trauma, attachment injury, and adverse experiences, modern psychotherapy incorporates neuroscience, conceptual understanding and techniques with mindful study and parts work. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy explores and studies nervous system activation and regulation, combined with attuning to and understanding one’s unique internal template. EMDR is also used to promote nervous system reprocessing and reintegration, and desensitizing of traumatic and adverse experiences. Internal Family Systems, or parts work, creates an environment to reintegrate and form a compassionate relationship with all of who we are. These modalities support the system in accessing positive, adaptive responses and embrace the belief that individuals have their own innate propensity toward health and a natural ability to foster a mindful connection with ourselves and others.
A Modern Approach
Progressive psychotherapy utilizes whole body, whole self awareness to restore health from psychological injury and trauma. This process of Mindful Study promotes connection and support to our nervous system, and often the care of younger parts of the self stored internally, that continue to shape us, our beliefs, and the way we move through the world. Polyvagal Theory lends curiousity to how those beliefs that are conditioned into our cognitions, nervous system, and our body affect our behaviors, relationships, and choices. Directed Mindfulness techniques explore those systems and our procedural modes of operating, that source from experienced memory. Modern psychology modalities bring together these felt experiences with our present moment states of being and offer attunement and missing healing experiences to those injuries.
Guiding Principles
The therapeutic process is coupled with principles inherent in Feminist and Buddhist Psychology. Feminist Psychology lending to a greater understanding of our experiences in the world, and beliefs about ourselves in broader cultural context, with regard to gender and sexual orientation, race, and body consciousness. As well as striving to create equality in the therapeutic and supervisory relationship. Buddhist psychology provides a nonjudgemental framework to heal through introspection and self observation, utilizing mindful study to explore our internal psychology. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, IFS, EMDR, and Polyvagal Theory, all share a common belief that we, as humans, naturally move toward health, growth, and restoration. These orientations support a curiosity and affinity-based, inclusive, therapeutic environment.
