Talking about your problems makes you feel worse?
People often confuse therapy with talking to a friend. While some things might seem the same, the foundations and purpose of therapy is different from a friends’ chat.
Therapy helps individuals to regain their emotional stability and resilience. How?
By breaking existing pattern of fight, flight or freeze.
People often come to my office feeling overwhelmed, powerless or constantly upset. They feel like that because their nervous system is stuck in the constant mode of fighting, defending or freeze.
Together on the session, using Somatic Experiencing, we release the activation of the nervous system and enable it to come back to balance.
„I would like to leave it all behind and just go.” – one of my clients has said to me.
„Where would you go? Let’s imagine you’re going there now. Run!” – and they run to their safe place. Nervous system gets the sign to calm down. „Now you are safe.”
It’s not magic. It’s called nervous system discharge. You just have to let your body heal and it does it for you.
