Haunted Body
Patterned Suffering
preventing agencied participation and integration in relationships and in the social [also known as moderate to severe symptoms of PTSD, C-PTSD, BPD, PD, agoraphobia, DID, etc.]
Dependency - Isolation
safety and balance is difficult to locate either internally or externally so our relationship with self and others becomes about survival rather than connection
Engaging Safety
Deconstruction & Co-Creation
In our collaborative relational space we will learn about the nervous system and how to negotiate safety within it. We will seek information about how the patterns you struggle with formed and how to develop processes to negotiate rather than just suffer them.
Trauma and Institutions
Outdated Labels & Incompetent Responses
Institutions touting wellness often operate with outdated models of understanding. Many professional healers do not do their own work, which limits their professional functioning. The institutionalized helpers are scared to confront the s that hold their paycheck The outdated models We have long been aware that many institutions produce trauma that adds to both individual and collective trauma burden. Additionally, bodies that hold trauma often struggle to find healing in our outdated institutional offerings of wellness that have little understanding of the word. Exploring institutional impositions and labels will be a part of the work, as will the ways bodies have been marginalized in a patriarchal society.
Emotions and Somatic Narrative
Regulation & Pendulation
Emotions in a haunted body operate ineffectively and are disorganized. For some, emotions may turn on like a hose at full pressure while for others the struggle to access an emotion is immense. We will develop strategies to negotiate emotion regulation that utilize internal resourcing as well as social engagement.
Awareness
A Space Of Being
Sometimes we choose what we pay attention to, while other times our attention is pulled by something external. Learning how to cultivate a more open channel of awareness, attuning ourselves as we direct, brings a new understanding of presence, a new relationship with our body-mind flow.
Agencied Storyings
Sensations & Perspective
Agency helps us understand our choices, make a decision based on our own perspective and permits us to say "No" without feeling guilty. If we listen closely, our bodies respond to sensory data to give us the answers we seek. Agencied action can be achieved as we find our way out of reactive patterns from the past, engage with our present, and learn how to participate in our world.
