Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can be utilized, and I know you might be thinking of clucking like a chicken. Think of hypnosis like a vehicle for therapy - it’s not a model, but a tool to help us access those parts of ourselves that stay stuck and we just can’t logic ourselves through. You know the I know I should, but I just can’t seem to, or it;’s great for everyone else, but… Yep, we’ve all been there. Hypnosis can help us develop skills, and make meaning of experiences, and it allows us to process in a way that is unique to you. it draws on metaphors, and invitations to allow your body to enter a deep state of relaxation.

Parts Work, otherwise known as Internal Family Systems helps us explore the multitude of parts that are alive in us. Parts work focuses on moving into Self leadership and allowing our extreme parts to step back from their active roles of micro managing our lives and allowing our Self to lead us. Parts work negotiates, works, with, and befriends all members of ones inner ecosystem as we move to repatterning outdated behaviours.

Somatic work helps us become attuned with our own body and develop skills to repattern old and out dated coping strategies and unwind the trauma that has interrupted our natural ability to process and move through experiences. It allows us befriend our nervous system, our emotions, our sensations and develop skills to manage our our sense of safety. It is a slow process that unfolds uniquely with each person and it a powerful opportunity to explore yourself.

I have found these three skills to be some of the most effective in combination when working with and exploring trauma while actively working to develop new ways of moving through the world and I’d. love to talk more about them with you!
