What to Expect in a Guided Somatic Process
Ever wondered what happens in a guided somatic process?
Let’s dive in…
A somatic process can be likened to going on a nature walk, where one sets out for the sheer goal of exploration, led by a compassionate & supportive guide . Similar to wandering through the woods, the path to healing is non-linear - an important thing to keep in mind.
During this journey, we may weave through obstacles & forge a path best suited for us. Just as in nature, in a somatic process, we flow in & out of various practices, skillfully attuning to what resonates, supports, & feels relevant moment-to-moment.
It’s an opportunity to address, resolve, & restore unprocessed experiences, emotions, & events that may have become stuck within the depths of our being.
Our journey begins with a simple yet profound act: connection.
We take a moment to connect, to check in with ourselves & with each other, & to discover what is needed.
With gentle intention, we ground ourselves, slow down, & settle together in the present moment.
You will be invited to track raw data in the form of:
sensations
emotions
thoughts
memories
and images
We honour & follow this information as it emerges & shifts organically, trusting in the wisdom of your body to guide us.
My role is to help you feel resourced enough to go wherever the adventure wants to take you .
Together, we explore what unfolds next, listening to your body's subtle cues expressed through gestures, impulses, & sensations.
Through this process, you gain valuable insights & begin to understand yourself more deeply.
We discover new, attainable ways to address unmet needs with safety & compassion.
As our session comes to a close, you harvest the “golden nuggets” of the experience. We leave with no expectations of what our next session could look like, as each guided somatic process may bring forward an entirely new set of sensations, emotions, or desires.
Above all, we recognize that healing cannot be rushed.
The ruptures we all experience are likely built over long periods of time, so it naturally takes time to repair them - it's a life-long process, one that requires patience, presence, consistency, & trust.
You too can experience a somatic process with an open heart & curious mind, knowing that each step brings us closer to the essence of who you are.
