Stress Related Illness
Do you have symptoms that continually move to different areas of the body? Or perhaps numerous doctors have given you a clean bill of health yet you still experience issues. In acknowledging a connection between emotional and physical well being we can explore how patterns of restriction in the body create symptoms over time. We tend to hold or contract physically when overwhelmed by feelings or unprocessed experiences. Often those patterns become habitual, creating weakened areas in the body. In the process of the therapeutic work you will find that releasing holding patterns improves physical as well as emotional health. I have found this process most healing when combining somatic therapies such as Somatic Experiencing, meditation, and mindfulness with traditional talk therapy.
Note: It is always advised to have a full medical evaluation when symptoms exist, as there are often both physical and mental issues to address. If you are dealing with chronic pain or health issues I believe that all practitioners working in acknowledgement of the mind and body aspects of health leads to the most efficient and lasting wellness. I work frequently with people receiving treatment in the medical world and am always willing to be in dialog with members of your healing team such as acupuncturists, body workers, doctors, homeopaths etc.
