Somatic Shadow Work

When your body hurts, your mind hurts. When your mind hurts, your body hurts.

Nowhere do we experience this more acutely than in chronic pain.

Somatic Shadow Work illuminates the darkest parts of your psyche - the complexes that interpret your pain as beneficial, the identities that say you ARE the pain, the hidden ties to painful experiences that come out sideways in your body - and allows you to resolve them.

Specific combinations of somatic practices, shadow inquiry, hypnosis, breathwork, energywork and ritual reveal the repressed aspects of yourself that are screaming to be seen so you can heal completely.

Working only with the body means working only with the slowest healing system of your Self.

This is an effective strategy for acute pain. Pain that is new and has a definitive cause. In those instances, our structure needs support. It was directly injured by some impact or force. It behooves us to remind our neurobiology of effective, beneficial, long term strategies for movement through physical intervention instead of having it come to rely on ineffective, short term crutches.

But once our pain becomes chronic, recurrent, or has no discernable cause, we are no longer talking about a physical injury. The pain we experience is a result of the body compensating for energetic and psychic imbalances that it no longer has (or never had) the resources to handle.

​

Addressing the body in this case may offer temporary relief, but it will not address the primary trigger.

Clients who have undergone this process have been amazed to experience

• Total and lasting release of their vaginismus symptoms

• Full resolution of groin and pelvic floor pain that was so severe they were put on disability

• Complete relief from debilitating low back pain that had been present for 40 years

• Easeful digestion and elimination after a lifetime of constipation and abdominal pain

• Laughter at traumatic memories that before set them into paralyzing freeze states and wracked them with painful sensory flashbacks

• Absolute relational shifts to how they live within themselves, their bodies, their relationships, and the world

Body and Mind are the same entity expressing differently.

When we treat them as separate, we reinforce the idea that you are fractured, broken, a thing that needs to be pierced back together slowly if ever at all.

You are Whole.

You deserve to Feel Whole.

Here you are treated Whole.
