BEYOND TALK THERAPY: You Don’t Have to Talk About “It” to Heal “It!” + Welcome to Open Floor 101!

And most of the time talking about it, is not enough to lead to healing and the resolution of symptoms.

I think about healing as integration. We are a whole-body system with physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, behavioral, social, and psychological parts. When our systems encounter an experience that leads to overwhelm, stuckness can result. This stuckness shows up as symptoms (i.e. sleep disturbance, low mood, anxiety, irritability, negative beliefs, interpersonal issues, etc.).

Talk therapy absolutely can be beneficial and uses our higher thinking brains. Yet as some point, talk therapy is limited because it is not able to access the lower parts of the brain and body where we hold stress and trauma responses.

Coriander Living Collective offers three types of intervention that are able to access the lower brainstem, middle emotional brain, and body to metabolize stress and trauma responses: 1) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), 2) Brainspotting, and 3) Open Floor resource based-mindful movement classes and workshops.

This Fall, I have two OPEN FLOOR DANCE/MOVING MEDITATION Series scheduled. These are beginner courses for those new to mindful movement and dance. Look, come move, heal, and claim wholeness!
