You've been dealing with this thing forever–depression, anxiety, or maybe just that relationship issue that keeps popping up. That thing that makes you question your relationship or inevitably leads to its dissolution. You don't need somebody to tell you "what" it is, you've lived with it for this long and you're fairly clear on that point. But "why"? Why is it there? What is motivating it? Why does "this" keep happening? What are the unseen forces that you feel, but can't seem to name? Until we know why, we can never get down to the root of the problem–we will only be dealing with the symptoms and not the cause.

Life can be difficult and painful at times but it doesn't have to involve so much suffering. How may we find the calm stillness in the eye of our storm so as to relate to our mind and our present experience compassionately and even learn and grow from it? I invite you to open to your life in a new way: a way that relieves your suffering and promotes your health and expands your awareness. Through mindfully listening to the body and courageously opening and relating to the uncomfortable/painful, somatic therapy provides a practice of gentle self-exploration toward discovering your connection to your truth, purpose and life.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming human experiences such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may be hindering our quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings.
