Somatic Experiencing® resolves symptoms of stress, shock, and traumas that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release and recover.
Please watch this demo by Dr. Peter Levine to understand Somatic Experiencing https://allisoncordner.com/therapy-cinema

This is a very important and research-driven way of renegotiating trauma, rewiring the brain and nervous system to return to a state of aliveness, regulation, connection and an embodiment of your true self.

Our team has a specialized focus on Developmental Trauma:

Developmental trauma refers to adverse experiences during critical periods of early development that disrupt the natural, instinctual processes of self-regulation. This disruption can lead to a dysregulation of the nervous system, contributing to symptoms such as hyperarousal, hypoarousal, or a combination of both.

Dr. Peter Levine emphasize the importance of completing the body's instinctual responses that might have been interrupted during traumatic events. Somatic Experiencing involves helping individuals discharge the residual energy from these incomplete responses, allowing the nervous system to return to a state of balance and integration. In SE developmental trauma is not solely focused on specific traumatic events but rather on the cumulative impact of adverse experiences during critical periods of development. These experiences can influence the way individuals regulate their emotions, form relationships, and navigate the world.

Person-Centered Therapy, also known as Client-Centered or Rogerian therapy, is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy developed by the psychologist Carl Rogers. It is characterized by a client-centered and non-directive philosophy, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the inherent capacity for self-growth within individuals. Key principles of Person-Centered Therapy include:

Unconditional Positive Regard: The therapist maintains an accepting and nonjudgmental attitude toward the client, creating an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard. This involves respecting and valuing the client without imposing conditions or expectations.

Empathy: The therapist strives to understand the client's subjective experience and feelings, demonstrating empathy by accurately perceiving and reflecting the client's emotions. This helps the client feel heard and understood.

Genuineness (Congruence): Therapists are encouraged to be genuine and authentic in their interactions with clients. This means being open and honest about their own feelings and reactions, fostering an atmosphere of transparency.

Client as the Expert: Person-Centered Therapy views clients as the experts on their own experiences and believes that individuals have the capacity to find their own solutions to problems. The therapist's role is to facilitate this self-exploration and self-discovery.

Non-Directive Approach: Unlike more directive forms of therapy, Person-Centered Therapy is non-directive. The therapist does not provide solutions or advice but instead facilitates the client's exploration of their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to arrive at their own insights.

Holistic Focus: The therapy addresses the whole person, recognizing the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It encourages clients to explore their experiences in a holistic manner.

Promotion of Self-Actualization: Person-Centered Therapy is aimed at promoting self-actualization, the process of realizing and fulfilling one's potential. The therapeutic process is seen as a journey toward personal growth and development.

The Therapeutic Relationship: The quality of the therapeutic relationship is considered crucial in Person-Centered Therapy. A trusting and empathetic connection between the client and therapist creates a safe space for self-exploration and growth.

Person-Centered Therapy is applicable to a wide range of issues, including personal growth, relationship difficulties, and various mental health concerns. Its emphasis on the core conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness creates an environment conducive to self-exploration and positive change

Spiritual counselling is not secular/religious. It is the exploration of your purpose and journey of releasing the blockers and limiting beliefs that prevent you from living in your highest intention. Examples of spiritual counselling could but is not limited to teaching and understanding the wiring of negative beliefs and how they impact your current moment-to-moment interactions, life mapping, values exploration, somatic work for emotional release and anchoring in safety and corrective experiences, rewriting the trauma narrative (after trauma work has been completed), portraly, acting as if exercises, lots of visualization work and mindfulness practices introduced and structured into your daily life to find harmony and connection with a higher power or consciousness.
