Mind-Body Integration
The Science of Being a Body - Mind-Body Integration
Our approach is grounded in the understanding that we are not just in a body; we are a body. This means recognizing that our mental and emotional states are deeply influenced by our physical experiences, including:
- Nervous System: Our nervous system plays a crucial role in how we process and respond to stress and trauma. By working with the body, we can help regulate the nervous system, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
- Tension Patterns: The way we hold tension in our bodies often reflects our day-to-day stresses, repetitive patterns of movement and behavior, and responses to traumatic events. By becoming aware of and addressing these tension patterns, we can facilitate physical and emotional release.
- Trauma and the Body: Trauma can be stored in the body through patterns of tension and pain, influencing our overall well-being. Whether the trauma stems from interpersonal relationships, physical injuries, or other sources, our embodied approach helps clients process and heal from these experiences.
