Somatic Coaching
WHAT IS SOMATIC COACHING?
Somatic guidance allows access to the body where we store our traumas, suppressed emotions, stuck energy, unconscious patterns/behaviors, and relational patterns. Scientific research has shown that we store memories, experiences, and emotions on a cellular level. Which means that our bodies, not only our minds, hold the experiences of the past. Until recently, the mind-body connection has been largely ignored in modern western science, even as this connection has long been essential to traditional healing.
Based on past experiences, the brain and body have been imprinted, leaving the body with unconscious, deeply rooted beliefs such as “I am bad”, “I not good enough”, or “I don’t deserve love”. Many times, we may not even be aware of the beliefs we carry until confronted with a struggle related to it. A certain trigger in life can bring up this implicit somatic memory. The body holds the key to working with these unconscious beliefs and memories to first become aware and then to process and heal.
Your subconscious mind makes up about 95% of your brain activity and is a powerful force.
In this work, we use the body as a key to unlock access to our subconscious minds where deep healing and transformation happens. Because we can access the source of unconscious or stuck patterns and emotions, we have a very powerful tool for gaining clarity and creating new patterns, behaviors, and perspectives.
Together, we discover what subconscious beliefs and programs have been running your life’s choices. We learn which are authentic to you and which derive from the conditioning of your childhood, environment, and culture. We establish a relationship with your intuition and your inner power to cultivate a deeper connection with the wisdom that resides within you. We will work to create new patterns and behaviors that are aligned with your authenticity and deep desires.
ASPECTS OF COACHING
-
Parts Work (Internal Family Systems)
This work believes that our psyche is made up of several parts or sub-personalities that fulfill both healthy and unhealthy roles. Life events or trauma can force us out of those healthy roles into extreme roles. This work focuses on healing the wounded or extreme parts and restoring harmony within oneself.
-
Inner-Child Work
This work allows us to address unhealthy coping mechanisms we developed in childhood to get our needs met. We address our unmet needs by reparenting ourselves. This kind of self-discovery helps us to understand our behaviors, wants, and needs.
-
Intuition Empowerment
Intuition holds our deepest wisdom. We are so often disconnected from this deeper wisdom because of the conditioning of our cultures and life experiences. We will work to strengthen this relationship with intuition to develop inner trust and inner knowing. In moments of confusion and questioning, the intuition holds the clarity and answers we are seeking.
-
Personal Agency (Our Inner Power)
Sovereignty is your inherent right and ability to self-determine and self- lead. Agency is your own power; your ability to affect the future and act. Depending on our past conditioning and experiences, we often forget our inner power. We ALL hold our own, individual inner power. We will work to cultivate and strengthen this inherent ability. When we strengthen this power, we go from doubtful and insecure to confident and radiant.
