Mental discomfort arises from emotional and biochemical anxiety within your bodymind. Using tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, nutritional science and somatic psychology, you rebalance your unique system of body, mind and soul learning to respond, not react, to stressors achieving inner composure and self agency. Methods are relational and focus on non-pharmaceutical interventions, because while drugs may mitigate symptoms for awhile, they rarely cure and often make things worse.
Bodymind counseling is about learning to look at life a new way. About learning to care for yourself, clearing your mind of erroneous perceptions and knee-jerk reactivity. You learn to recognize the old useless patterns your subconscious takes as it manifests your personality and behaviors. At your own pace, you learn to alter them to live more healthfully and fully with more contentment and efficacy. But most important, you learn healthier ways to handle anxiety, so you self regulate to be more present and caring in relationship with yourself and others.
