“Knowledge is Rumor until it is lived in the body” -unknown
Trauma and the everyday stress of living in a culture that is always “on” can interfere with our regulation and relationships. Attentiveness and awareness are very difficult to practice when our internal world is screaming. Unfinished business comes up when we quiet ourselves without numbing. Acknowledging you might need the support of a therapist can be the best first step toward caring for your soul. My desire is to offer a safe space that welcomes all nervous systems, personal experiences and holds a range of spiritual life from exploration to deconstruction. Together we will co- create a journey toward resting in safety and healing in love.
Somatic Experiencing is a modality that helps work with the stuck energy of trauma in the body in a way that is supported and titrated in order to not re-traumatize the individual. Linda has completed a three year program in Somatic Experiencing™ qualifying her to work with both shock trauma and developmental trauma. She enjoys teaching trauma concepts in everyday language to both practitioners and clients.
