I moved to America when I was 23.
It was 1993 and my dream was to become a photography assistant. I never intended to stay in America for more than a year, but things opened up very quickly. I got a great job, met my partner, had a daughter, bought a house, and life took over.
There are three ways most people respond to fear of the unknown. Which way do you respond? Hint: it’s not fight, flight, or freeze.
On December 18, I surpassed the 10,000 session mark. It inspired me to ask, “What have I learned from 10,000 sessions as a somatic therapist?”
Our society’s been trained that positive attributes are good and negative attributes are bad.
What I want to share today is the idea that they’re neither good nor bad. They simply are. And if you get in touch with your “negative” self-expression, you can actually experience more “positive” expression and pleasure than ever before.
Trauma can happen from almost anything.
But it starts when the body experiences a sense of hopelessness. Something as little as missing your connecting flight can cause enough stress to create trauma. It can happen in only 15 seconds.
Shame is something we’re taught.
It can be something directly taught to us when we’re kids or inadvertently taught by the actions of our caretakers, primarily father and mother.

These are the simplest ways I’ve found to relieve stress naturally… without harmful medications. Read on to discover more.
Throughout our lives, I believe we’re on this invisible quest to figure out what our heart connection is about and what it means to us.
But what does it mean to “be in your heart”?
What it means for me is that at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what I do, who I do it with, what it is that I have, own, collect, or how much I have or little I have…
This week I thought I’d do something slightly different.
I thought I’d share three body-based techniques I use in my sessions all the time… and share how you can use them in your own life.
All of them are powerful techniques you can use to create trust, shift beliefs in yourself and others, and call out an unconscious (or conscious) lie.
Before I share them with you, I need you to agree to something.
The techniques you learn in this post could easily be applied for harm. By reading this post, you agree to use them only to create more connection, more love, and more trust in the world.
If you agree, please continue reading.
