Be in touch

We think we live in our bodies. But how do many of us inhabit full-body awareness? Mental health clinicians know that trauma, stress, anxiety and depression can catapult clients into a myriad of symptoms, including insomnia, irritability, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, panic attacks, depressed body feelings, and more.

It’s easy to think that these symptoms can be healed by working with thought patterns and emotions alone.

The truth is that we live and dream in the body. Symptoms are of the body. Yet, we rarely consider the body as the source and inspiration for healing.

We perceive the world around us through our body responses. Not sleeping well, ruminating thoughts, worries about family or the future, grief and trauma have devastating health effects. The body is under attack, and we can’t heal the body with the mind only.

When we as humans are out of touch with our bodies, we are out of touch with life. Enhancing a client‘s body awareness is a powerful tool for transformation.

(Some lines from a text by Manuela Mischke-Reeds)

Sometimes we just need to BE there for each other.
Sometimes we just need to be IN resonance with one another.
Sometimes we just need a TOUCH to feel seen, held, and safe.
