Hakomi.

Stuckness    We all have painful patterns.  They arise as the most creative-way-so-far that a person has to manage life.  Sometimes we close down in a long-term way to protect ourselves and not get hurt again.  We may start to believe that everyone will treat us the same way that the people treated us who first hurt us.  “That’s how life is” we may tell ourselves.  The headlines that we live by may be something like:

“I don’t belong.”
“I have to do everything myself.”
“I never get what I need.”
“You have to be strong or people will walk all over you.” 
“If I say what I want, people won’t like me.”
“I have to work really hard to be good enough.” 
“Nobody really sees me and appreciates me.”   

We limit ourselves when we base our lives on these beliefs.  We often end up stuffing away our dreams and aliveness.  There’s big consequences to living this way.  We can end up being angry, depressed, stuck, confused, addicted, anxious, overwhelmed, shy.

Coming Alive    In the Hakomi tradition, we use curiosity and kindness to help you recognize and explore old habits, shift them, and then claim your aliveness in a way you can live from every day.  We actively use all of the dimensions of your being human – body, thoughts, emotions, posture, belief systems, breath, creativity.

We’ll find direct clues right into your true self that wants a full life.  I’ll help you learn how to take in the exact healing experiences you need to grow and thrive.  In our sessions, we’ll create a “toolbox” of ways to both deal with difficult situations, and to recognize and take hold of satisfaction and pleasure.  Change is possible!
