Health problems
stress has been linked to all of the major diseases, because the stress response literally shuts down your immune system. It is estimated that over 90% of health problems are partially caused by chronic stress!
Fortunately cutting edge methods are revolutionizing
how we can effectively work with anxiety and stress.
Traditional talk therapy is often of limited help, and can sometimes even reinforce your problems. Anxiety, stress, and traumatic stress impact you to your very core – your nervous system – and words alone cannot heal this.
Your Nervous System is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and more than 100 billion neurons. Beyond your conscious awareness it is continually regulating your heart beat, digestion, breathing, and your
fight-flight-freeze threat responses.
What is usually driving anxiety is that a person’s nervous system has gotten stuck in a freeze response. With Somatic Therapy we can bring your nervous system out of frozen disempowerment and return it back to a healthy state of empowerment and health.
