How is the Body Involved in Healing?

Wisdom Embodied

Gestalt is a whole-person approach to healing which includes how your physical body experiences the I-Thou-We dynamic. Embodiment became central to my therapeutic practice when I learned that relational trauma is healed in relationship and how the nervous system is involved.

In my own healing work, I discovered that the defenses that I once employed under threatening circumstances may no longer serve to protect outside the context of the inciting incident. It is important to distinguish between real and perceived threats in order to know when to defend, resource, or focus inward..

When traumatic experiences are allowed to complete a natural healing cycle through the body, people report an increase in self agency and confidence.. Talk therapy alone is not effective without harmonious co-regulation and relational attunement. It is possible to actualize new patterns of behavior in support of increased life satisfaction that can be measured with physical bio-markers.

Co-regulation is inherent in the human condition. Consistent, positive relational experiences build trust so that visceral knowing can be re-membered toward the aim of developing discernment and trust in oneself.

Animal companions and time spent in Nature assist with nervous system regulation. Heart Coherence effectively soothes the nervous system. Horses are excellent teachers who can provide natural bio-feedback in real-time for congruency and coherence.
