When the Holder of Space is Shaken

Hello Therapists & Teachers,

​

In 2002, when I first began offering my somatic sessions, I was navigating chronic back pain, a divorce, and solo parenting. I showed up for my clients, but often wondered, was I truly holding space, or just pushing through?

​​

What about you?  Does Freeze - Fidget - Flee show up?  It's not your client - it's you. Your jaw tightens, your breath shallows, your body wants out. Something just got activated, you feel the edge of your own discomfort. This moment isn’t a mistake - it’s an invitation. Do you know how to stay with yourself while staying with your client?

​

We all learn to compartmentalize. But stress, pain, numbness, and overwhelm don’t stay neatly hidden. They speak through our nervous systems - whether we like it or not.

​

Join me and other therapists for experiential somatic workshops designed specifically for the Therapist’s Body, - not just your role.

​

Next Workshop: Sat. Dec 6 - In-Person San Diego

​

These workshops are companion to The Somatic Session Training for the Client’s Body. You’ll explore the same somatic tools, only this time, you're the one receiving them.

​

You’ll experience, explore and learn to:

• Track your body’s signals in real time

• Notice when pain or emotion is leading

• Stay grounded when triggered

• Integrate somatic tools into your sessions

​Since 2005, I’ve taught therapists how to bring the body into the therapy room. In 2021, I created the annual 6-month Somatic Session Training for the Client’s Body. And now, with these added workshops, it’s your turn to be on the receiving end.

​

Because the more regulated and embodied you are, the more effective your work with clients becomes.​

​

Reconnect to your body that holds the SPACE.  Join us.

In Breath & Body,
