Hypnotherapy is the use of deeply relaxed and focused states of consciousness for the purpose of healing and transformation. While looking inward, you are able to access your imagination, learn self-regulation, and release energetic patterns. Attention is turned towards the deeper parts of you as you shift away from the rationalizing intellect. The focus is on assisting you to find your innate healing resources to transform thoughts and belief systems so that they are in alignment with what you want to create in your life.
Expressive Arts Therapy is a new paradigm of therapy, which draws from some of humanities oldest forms of healing. At the heart of the paradigm is the belief that growth is a creative process, in addition to an analytical or intellectual one. Creativity allows us to try new things, to explore who we are, and to experience ourselves and our world in new ways. The arts have been used in healing rituals around the world and throughout time, and Expressive Arts Therapy seeks to reawaken our innate ability to use them for our growth. Visual arts, dance, movement, drama, music, and poetry are languages of the soul. Many of us in the modern world have lost touch with these languages, and been told that they are the domain of children or professionals. Yet each of us has access to them all, and can find healing through them regardless of experience or technique.
Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is a form of energy psychology that is based on the idea that all negative emotion is a result of a disruption in the body’s energy system. EFT uses tapping or pressing on acupuncture points while focusing on negative emotions, limiting beliefs, or physical pain in order to break up the disruption in the energy field and allow it to realign into a normal healthy state. It is simple to learn, has rapid results, and is a tool you can take home with you to use on your own.
EFT is especially effective for addressing PTSD, phobias, and emotional patterns for which traditional therapy has been ineffective. To learn more, go to www.eftuniverse.com
The word somatic derives from the Greek word somatikos meaning “of the body”, and refers to the subjective experience of the body from within. Emotions and experiences are primarily felt through the body, and are often connected to thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. Sometimes intuition or deep “knowing” actually is experienced in the body before it is understood by the mind. Emotional holding patterns are often manifested in the body through posture, breathing constrictions, and muscular tension. Integrating somatic awareness in sessions helps to explore what the body is saying, as well as to release these patterns.
