Restore Recover Reintegrate. Therapy is not retel

Restore Recover Reintegrate. Therapy is not retelling stories – it is about our capacity to reintegrate a story, change our body’s response from a feeling memory (a response associated with some past experience) to a feeling response that is adaptive to our here and now. Changing the reaction of our body to a memory – to remember without suffering all over again – is central. Pacing and titrating this work in an amount we can contain and being guided by the capacity of our body rather than the push/pull of others means we tap into the inherent capacity of our body to restore and recover. It should not have to hurt or harm, although just like in nature there might be some rough ground and prickles along with way. #melbournepsychologist #breathwork #integrativetherapy #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #emotionregulation #brainhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody #thebodykeepsthescore #growyourmind #therapy

Not all restrictions are imposed by others. What

Not all restrictions are imposed by others. What we restrict and hold in our body has the potential to cause dis-ease. What we shift and express has less potential to make us ill (like when we rid ourselves of poison or toxins through a natural expulsion!) but what remains stuck certainly can. Consider the tension, restriction, resistance, and inflammation we can hold in our body – often a consequence of holding too tightly, to too much, for too long. When we integrate multiple channels for processing in therapy – engaging our thinking mind, our feeling heart, and somatic experiences in our body – we can more effective move through our sticking points. We can’t think our way out of feeling. We need to connect and express it. Our breath is a wonderful vehicle for connection and expression – a gentle yet powerful tool which allows us to access, release, and integrate the memories, emotions and patterns restricting us physically, mentally, and emotionally. Bridging between conscious and unconscious the breath can dissolve tension and allow us to release and relate differently to our body and mind without interference from our rational mind constantly filtering reality. Using our breath sees us showing up as an active participant in therapy rather than outsourcing our capacity to others. Instead of looking outside for someone to tell us what is wrong and to direct us to what we should do next, we can become more attuned and grow as our own expert and specialist. An empowering and restorative approach is the perfect antidote to restriction and constraint we might experience in life, culture and social conditioning. #melbournepsychologist #breathwork #integrativetherapy #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #emotionregulation #brainhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody #thebodykeepsthescore #growyourmind #therapy

If the trees didn’t let go of their old leaves,

If the trees didn’t let go of their old leaves, new buds couldn’t emerge. Nature routinely lets go, and sheds, so it can flourish for another season. Humans are challenged to do the same. We need to let go of things that weigh us down, to release what is holding us back, and stop doing things that no longer serve us. When we are adequately supported to reprocess past experiences and the dysfunctionally stored memories that lay the foundation for our maladaptive responses, we can more readily assimilate new information and experiences. Then our mind can draw on these adaptive networks as resources to support our growth and development. #windowoftolerance #emotionregulation #melbournepsychologist #brainhealth #integrativetherapy #mentalhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody #thebodykeepsthescore #growyourmind #therapy #nervoussystemregulation #breathwork
