Building kinesthetic tools to
un-stick the stuck places
in your life and relationships
|
As an openly trans, queer, and disabled politicized healer, I don’t believe in the traditional allopathic model that something is wrong with you and needs to be fixed. Marginalized communities have a long history of being pathologized for the brilliant ways we've learned to cope in this world, and in my experience that pathology creates a lot more suffering and continuation of oppression than healing. What I do know & believe fervently: you are already incredibly resilient, and you have done a badass job of surviving and getting to this point. The goal of my work isn’t to fix you. I want to give you more tools that work better for who you are today and the things that you desire and care about. The body is a powerful asset in this tool development. Understanding and learning about your sensations and how to build your capacity to sit with your feelings gives you choices. What happens when our Feelings don't have to be solved, figured out, avoided or ignored? What if those Feelings were exactly what you needed for things in your life to start to change? Somatic approaches give us the ability to move beyond just learning about our issues and understanding ourselves. Somatic approaches give us concrete strategies to shift behaviors and ways of thinking that get in the way of what we long for right now. |
