It wasn’t safe for me to show anger or fear growing up, so I spent YEARS suppressing these feelings.
And Dr. Gabor Mate’s writes on how if we don’t say no with our words, the body will say no through chronic pain or autoimmune diseases. Gabor writes,
And I learned how to apply this when I started to do the somatic work of Core Energetics as a client. I started to heal my own areas of chronic pain and feel deep relief for the first time in my life.
Core Energetics is similar to traditional psychotherapy in the sense that you’ll explore your habits and coping mechanisms from childhood and how those are impacting your relationships today.
But it differs in the sense that you’ll learn how to relieve suppressed feelings that are stored in your body.
For example, imagine a child that’s angry but knows they can’t tantrum because in the past they’ve been hurt or made fun of…
The way the child holds the impulse to punch and kick in is by holding their breath slightly and tenses to hold their arms at their sides. Years of doing this leads to chronic tension in the shoulders, neck and jaw.
In Core Energetics you’ll learn where you are holding the most chronic tension and learn both physical and psychological exercises to begin to heal.
Suppressing your emotions causes chronic tension, pain and in more extreme cases can lead to autoimmune diseases. So by learning to let the tension out you can begin to heal your body, and get more in touch with your life force and your gifts.
This, of course, is not a replacement for modern medicine. If you have an autoimmune disease, please continue to work with your health care team to resolve it. But Core can help with the emotional side of these illnesses.
Core Energetics has completely changed my life and relieved so much of my chronic stress and pain that I’m very excited to share it with others.
I have a just few spots open for one on one clients, as I’m putting most of my energy into running the Adv Somatics Certification.
If you’re interested in nabbing one of those spots, you can book a free consultation here!
And if you want to learn how to use these tools with your clients, you can sign up for the waiting list for the next Advanced Somatics Certification.
You’re doing amazing work in the world. I just know it!
Hugs!
