Psychotherapy For Clients
- Root out panic, terror, aggression, lack of focus, and overwhelm responses. Early experience encodes in the primitive brain stem and causes primitive threat response behaviors.
- Change discomfort to ease, panic to motivation, and lack of focus to true rest and recovery. Somatic therapy works with body story and identity; removes threat behaviors and literally “changes the brain.”
