find your flow
Experiential Somatic Therapy
(Not Just Talk But Tools)
Tired of anxiety, depression, anger? Tending grief? Struggling with trauma and intergenerational burdens? Burned out and lost purpose? Wanting change
but feeling stuck?
Why a “somatic” approach?
Somatic approaches drop below our habitual tracks and traps of thought. They operate below the words, closer to the roots of our raw experience. In Gendlin’s Focusing, for instance, we listen those roots and learn how to help our lives flow. A wider field of perception opens up: “Your physically felt body is in fact part of a gigantic system of here and other places, now and other times, you and other people—in fact, the whole universe. This sense of being bodily alive in a vast system is the body as it is felt from inside.” That layeredness of self-other, inside-outside can feel chaotic and overwhelming. Focusing tends to what matters to us most right now. This approach is a transformative balm for our busy, fragmented times—it is holistic in the way that healing dreams or poems, metaphor or music washes over us, changes us. Gendlin quote on the essence of change.
Why “EXPERIENTIAL”?
“Your physically felt body is in fact part of a gigantic system of here and other places, now and other times, you and other people—in fact, the whole universe. This sense of being bodily alive in a vast system is the body as it is felt from inside.”

wHAT ABOUT tALK AND TOOLS?
Sharing our lives aloud with a caring witness can be deeply healing in itself. Full stop. (Much has been written on this.) And words can help us find our way. Core questions and attuned metaphors can be doorways that open up new perspectives and possibilities. But words (often others’) can also have been where we lost our way. And our talk can also at times become a wall, limiting our view and movement to what we already know or think we know. We might find we want to thin out some of the bricks to make a window or even tunnel under the wall to arrive somewhere new. After all, words live at some distance from experience—and healing and growth are experiences. And so I weave in various practices, tailored-to-you, to help you uproot pesky or painful habitual patterns and experience fresh states of being. These tools often include words, such as pausing in session to really hear how the words feel, or noticing experiences during the week that connects with a question we explored in session…….
