This is a good question and although this is something that can happen as part of the process, it is not the intention. People sometimes want to go straight for the hardest stuff. They want the challenge. But this is not the place to start. You have to work out what is your goal is. What will uncovering a suppressed memory do for you? I used to work like this when I was practising my osteo. When s...

I loved Monica's story of how she ended up being who she is today, and the power that someone's words can have. Her journey into wellness opened many doors for her to look deeper into why she had issues around a sense of belonging.

A deep cathartic release happens on so many levels. I find it fascinating what comes out of people. I'll share the three components of releasing: -Physical -Physiological (this one's my favourite and all the things that come out) -Emotional Most people freak out when a release starts to happen- the person having it and the therapist observing it. But it's a really beautiful thing. Once this discom...

Melanie noticed pretty early on in life that people found it very easy to share about themselves with her... not just the everyday mundane things ~ but the things that were making their life and business messy. Often after sharing, they would say things like "...sorry, I don't know why I just told you that?" Melanie says, she just smiles and says "It's ok." When she looks into the eyes of another...

Did you know that each finger and toe represents a different emotion? Maybe that stubbed toe has something more to tell you than 'watch where you're walking'. I've come across a lot of sore fingers and toes and even broken ones that just don't heal. They stay broken. What's that all about? https://theartoflisteningtoyourbody.com

Here's my take from experience working with fears and anxiety. Rarely do I focus on the fear, anxiety or phobia itself. These are just manifestations of an overfull emotional cup. I go straight for whatever emotion is present, whatever memory needs to be worked on. By doing this and getting an emotional release, the cup gets emptied a little. The anxiety, fear or phobia quietens down. The event or...

What do you kno...
