I am a certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, SP is a method that draws a upon the natural wisdom of the body. (Posture, movement and the nervous system) To tap into the innate drive in all of us to heal, adapt, and develop new capacities.
How does SP work?
The effects of trauma, neglect and abusive or emotionally painful relationships with childhood caregivers are held in our nervous systems, posture and movement habits, as well as in unresolved painful emotions and limiting beliefs. To change these patterns, clients learn to mindfully follow the natural intelligent processes of body and mind. New information that often remains unnoticed in conventional therapies is revealed by paying attention to both aspects - Body and mind. This can accelerate healing and lead to more lasting change.
What can I expect in a session?
SP is a talking therapy and treatment takes place in the usual therapy setting. I will help you become aware of the way that your body holds the problems you have come to therapy to resolve. As the client you are in control of what to explore.
You may choose to work with strong emotions (that have been suppressed or have felt overwhelming), limiting beliefs (such as 'I will never be good enough'), trauma symptoms (like panic or nightmares), or physical symptoms (like racing heartbeat or physical pain). I will guide you to become mindfully aware of your posture, movement, and physical sensations so you can utilise your body's intelligence to help you resolve issues and meet your goals.
