On a pleasant afternoon while driving along with friends...
… suddenly out of nowhere a car swerves right in front of you! You slam on the brakes and barely miss them.
They drive on like nothing happened. Shaking and trembling, you pull over into a parking lot. Your heart is beating fast. You make sure everyone else in the car is okay.
What a close call!
The anger and sensations subside. It's all but forgotten.
Then a couple of months later you notice your back is stiff and sore, your stomach is uneasy, you can't focus.
It’s been so long ago that you don’t realize those sensations are related to that trauma you suffered in that scary almost-accident.
But it is.
As new symptoms pop up….
...your hope dwindles and you are almost ready to give in to living with the turmoil which now plagues your daily life.
Untreated trauma, big or small, can have a large impact on your life.
These overwhelming experiences, or unresolved trauma, are held in the bodymind as imprints and memories, and create physiological effects. Some of those are numbness and detachment from emotions, unexplained pain, emotional outbursts, digestive complications, sleep problems, breathing issues, high blood pressure, substance abuse disorders, and development of post-traumatic stress disorder. Patterns of resistance and fixation are formed which cause an inability to recover.
This is not your fault.
We are all hardwired to respond with our nervous, hormonal and immune systems which take us immediately into fight, flight or freeze. This is true whether the overwhelming event is ‘hard trauma’ like the single almost-accident event, or ‘soft trauma’ which results from the slow accumulation of stress and tension from multiple distressing experiences. Our most defining experiences are encoded non-verbally and not consciously in our bodies. We no longer feel safe.
Before it gets any worse…
… today is the day you decide to move towards better health.
Hi, I’m Sharon.
Pain and suffering act like a magnet that grabs our attention. But pain is not the only possible sensation. We each have lots of health within us. Every doctor will agree that health begins, continues and ends at the cellular level. When cells are not healthy, the functioning of tissues and organs will become compromised which can lead to ill health and disease There is evidence that this modality works at the cellular level. I support my clients with the gentle touch of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy which can increase that health. Together, as our therapeutic relationship evolves, the distress you are experiencing will dissolve. You will experience the profound relief that allows you to live the life you want.
