CST for Trauma Resolution

Service Description

"Trauma victims cannot recover until they become familiar with and befriend the sensations in their bodies...Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past." - Bessel van der Kolk Allow the body to tell its story through its own language of sensation, imagery and shape. For treatments addressing traumatic charge held in the body from past experiences, known or unknown, Sierra's approach is informed by various bodies of work including interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, somatic focusing techniques and biodynamic craniosacral therapy. These sessions are for those who are seeking a somatic approach to healing trauma that have a mental/emotional dimension such as CPTSD, PTSD, anxiety, depression as well as behavioral manifestations of trauma such as eating disorders, OCD or other compulsive tendencies. Patterns from traumatic experiences that are causing suffering can manifest on a large spectrum, so this work can offer relief to those expressing mild symptoms of distress that are undiagnosed to those experiencing chronic distress from known conditions. For those experiencing severe symptoms from diagnosed mental health conditions, it is advised to seek out some form of counseling to help integrate what may emerge during treatments.
