Process-Oriented Psychotherapy & Dreamwork
What is Process-Oriented Psychotherapy?
Processwork is a powerful awareness practice that is an evolution of Jungian dreamwork and the study of our unconscious.
It is based on the concept of the "Dreambody" - the discovery that body symptoms are mirrored in our night-time dreams.
Read more about the Dreambody on Arnold & Amy Mindell's website Here.
How can Processwork help you?
The Process-Oriented approach to healing is rich in ways of accessing what is "hidden" or less conscious in our experience. While there is certainly a place for traditional talk therapy in providing a safe opportunity to be vulnerable in the presence of a compassionate witness, you may have sensed the limitations of trying to solve certain problems at the level of your conscious mind.
By becoming more open to the "Dreamland" level of reality, you will be able to:
- Access deeper and unexpressed emotions
- Explore and resolve inner conflicts
- Integrate past experiences on a deeper and more satisyfing level
- Identify the guidance and messages in your dreams and body symptoms
How can I help you?
I am passionate about helping women break free from the limitations of conditioned ways of healing. Have you ever been made to feel like you are "too much," and so held back on expressing yourself? Do you feel like you are expected to always be "nice", and struggle to express your healthy anger? Perhaps you have been told you are "too sensitive", and that you just need a thicker skin to endure dysfunctional environments. Or maybe someone has put pressure on you to just "let it go" or "forgive and forget."
If you have found me, I know you are resilient and have weathered your share of storms (and probably even taken care of others along the way!) But if you aren't yet where you want to be in your personal healing journey, I would love to help you:
* Access healthy anger and set boundaries
* Find safety and groundedness in your body and nervous system
* Remember your innate worth and value
* Unshame and soothe the inner critic
* Feel confident to be be seen, heard, and take up space
* Rediscover your identity and your authority
Am I trauma informed?
Absolutely YES. Being trauma informed is more than just being aware of or having knowledge about how trauma occurs, but having the skills to work with the wisdom of the nervous system to restore safety and regulation.... and even more importantly being dedicated to avoiding retraumatization. First do no harm! It is not necessary to recall details of painful events or tell your story in order to begin to heal from it.
I subscribe to the Polyvagal and Somatic Experiencing theories of trauma recovery which means I take a "bottom up" approach - working first with the body to establish safety, and later processing at the level of the mind when it is helpful to do so.
