Somatic Experiencing sessions will help you become more aware of your body and how it reacts to the feelings of trauma. The therapy will allow you to find a safe place within your mind in order to fully process the trauma. Somatic Experiencing is the result of over forty years of observation, research, and hands-on development by Dr. Levine. 

Based upon the realization that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma, Somatic Experiencing has touched the lives of many thousands. SE® restores self-regulation, and returns a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatized individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away.

The NeuroAffective Relational Model™ (NARM) brings the current understanding of self-regulation into clinical practice. NARM therapy will help patients identify patterns that are prohibiting them from being present to themselves or others. These could be physical, emotional, cognitive, or other mind/body feelings. NARM helps provide patients with the tools of self regulation by building on strengths.. 

In the NARM approach, we work simultaneously with the physiology and the psychology of individuals who have experienced developmental trauma, and focus on the interplay between issues of identity and the capacity for connection and regulation.

NARM uses four primary organising principles:

• Supporting connection and organisation 

• Exploring identity 

• Working in present time 

• Regulating the nervous system

NeuroAffective Touch™ is a valuable tool that speaks the language of the body, yet invites the mind as an active partner. It uses direct contact with the skin and connective tissues and brings focus to the body’s many systems including nervous, endocrine, and circulatory. Facilitating access to feelings through this somatic conversation, it supports self-regulation and the awareness that leads to fulfilling connection with self and others.

Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP™) is an approach to improve therapeutic outcomes through Western and Eastern psychology. The tools used in ISP may include awareness, intent, imagination, movement, breath, self-touch, resonance, therapist’s touch, bodywork, and energy work.

A “Brainspot” is the eye position which is related to the energetic/emotional activation of a traumatic/emotionally charged issue within the brain, most likely in the amygdala, the hippocampus, or the orbitofrontal cortex of the limbic system.

During a brainspotting session, the therapist is watching for subtle reflexive signals indicating that a brainspot has been detected. The therapist then uses a pointer to guide the patient’s gaze across his or her field of vision. 

Brainspotting therapy is used for: 

• Severe Trauma Resolution

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Peak Performance work 

We offer Brainspotting in Sydney and the Central Coast.

Craniosacral Therapy is a touch therapy using light touches to align the structural integrity of the body. It does not involve any spinal manipulations or adjustments. Many think that craniosacral therapy is only useful for back or chronic pain, however it actually helps target the root cause of many structural and spinal imbalances. This can restore impeded circulation, alleviate any nerve impingement and thus allow dysfunctional cells to heal themselves. 

“Craniosacral Therapy believes that everyone is born with an underlying infinite order of intelligence or “vital force” energy ( often referred to as” chi” in Chinese Medicine).  This is the same intelligence that keeps your heart beating and runs your body. This constant undetectable intelligence is carried by the nervous system to every cell in your body supplying it with all the information it needs to function as planned, every day.” - http://www.craniosacraltherapy.com.au/what-is-craniosacral-therapy/
