Working with the mind and body
In 'The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, mind and body in the transformation of trauma', Bessel van der Kolk explains how traumatic experiences leave an imprint on all parts of our being. Furthermore, all aspects of our sense of self, relationship to others and engagement in the world are inherently mind-body experiences. Think of some of the expressions we use every day: cold feet, gut feeling, skin crawling, shock to the system, heartfelt connection, warm hearted etc.
The Experiential branch of Person-Centred Therapy began to link the mind to internal bodily sensations via the ‘felt sense’. Polyvagal Theory has given us many more body-based psychotherapy tools within a useful theoretical framework. I use this to help clients befriend, map, navigate and shape their nervous system, that may have become trapped in fight, flight, freeze or other states.
My interest in the mind-brain-body connection led me to train in two powerful additional tools: Brainspotting and NeurOptimal Neurofeedback.
