Traditional therapy can feel like you’re repeating your story over and over again. Many people don’t find much value in recounting and dissecting their history because it doesn’t provide any coping skills, or change how they feel. Recapping a story can still bring up feelings of sadness, exhaustion and feeling stuck.
A new pathway…
We can grow and change much faster when we bring the body into the healing process. Moving the body and connecting it to the mental stories you tell yourself is a powerful way to heal old wounds and release patterns. Movement therapy creates a clear pathway to “move through” the pain and feel renewed.
Success through Movement: “I worked with a client who was struggling with family issues. Utilizing movement she realized there are different levels of healing. Movement therapy helped her access deeper levels talk therapy wasn’t reaching, and she experienced how to tap into her own insight.”
Many of us may have a tendency to ignore what the body tells us, even though we know it holds a lot of wisdom. Movement therapy can help you make profound “ah-ha’s” and then literally move into action. Some people may feel uncomfortable getting up and moving to help unblock energy; however staying stuck in an emotional or mental story is more uncomfortable than moving it up and out. You are always in charge of whether you want to move or not in a session.
Maybe you mistrust your body- it has let you down, or you tend to ignore it, and it’s not very reliable. Many of us hold old patterns of tension, addictions, and pain which have been stuck in the body for years. Clients have told me I am very empathetic, and I am a good translator between the verbal and the nonverbal parts of the mind. My clients feel empowered when they find meaningful connections to what they really need. I can show you how to learn from your body and stay on the road to well-being.
