What is Embodied Psychotherapy?
Embodied Psychotherapy is not your typical psychotherapy.
Traditional psychotherapy involves talking about problems in hopes that you could find your way to a solution. We find that helpful to a point, but doesn’t get to the bottom of stress, trauma, and burnout and the way it shows up in our bodies.
Embodied psychotherapy is an experiential process guided by Polyvagal Theory which invites you to gently reconnect with your senses as part of the healing process. For those who have experienced chronic stress, trauma, & burnout a strong sense of disconnection of the body exists. Embodied psychotherapy seeks to change that— to bring body awareness as a primary healing agent in the therapy process. This is accomplished through:
Relaxation
Movement
Breath Work
Visualization
Dance
Art
Connection to others
Identifying your internal needs & desires
What is Resiliency Informed Psychotherapy?
Resiliency Informed Psychotherapy is a way of doing therapy that optimizes on the innate capacities within each person
Resilience informed psychotherapy honors the resources that already exist and builds on those while also finding new ones that are needed to heal and to adapt to future situations even better.
Resilience informed psychotherapy pays careful attention to the adaptive strategies that survivors of trauma and chronic stress have implemented and views these in a survival oriented light rather than a pathologizing light.
And then it takes it further: it works to rewire habits of the brain by finding and enhancing new strategies and reactions.
It is a strengths based, accepting, compassionate approach to psychotherapy. It is best paired with EMDR, Parts Work, and other trauma therapies.
