Working Together
What does a 1:1 Somatic and Nervous System session look like?
The first few sessions will likely differ from typical sessions as we get to know each other and solidify what you’re committed to working towards.
We usually start by asking if there’s anything specific that you want to talk about during the day’s session.
We will talk a bit about what’s on your mind and what you’re feeling in your body. I always want to follow you where you’re at. You are in charge of your sessions. I may offer suggestions for practices or topics of exploration related to what you’re bringing up. I will offer you various options throughout the session to see how you want to proceed, whether it’s talking more, feeling into your embodied emotions, doing a practice together, or redirecting back to the overarching commitment that you’re working towards.
Somatics includes some talking and communicating, but focuses much more on what embodied tendencies are currently existing. We ask questions like, “What are you sensing in your body right now?”, “How do you protect yourself?”, “How exactly does your body do that?”
Why do you use Somatic Therapy/Coaching and Nervous System Regulation?
The Vagus Nerve which connects body to brain, is your information superhighway. 80% of the Vagus Nerve fibers communicate/send messages from the body up to brain and only 20% send messages from the brain down to the body. So we should be using a bottom-up approach to heal.
The difficulty with pursuing a top-down approach ONLY is that for survivors of trauma, the thinking part of the brain (prefrontal cortex) is shut off during a traumatic event so that the survival parts of the brain can do their jobs better. This means that most of the time your body remembers the trauma but you have trouble recollecting it. A more approachable way to heal and recover from trauma is through body & somatic therapy being a bottom up therapy. This is why I use a combination of bottom-up approaches and top-down approaches in my practice.
Top-down examples of approaches: CBT, talk therapy, inner child work, attachment work, DBT, mindfulness training
Bottom-up examples of approaches: Nervous System Regulation, Somatic Experiencing, EFT-Tapping, IFS, EMDR, Breathwork
