Your Body Already Knows How To Heal. Let Me Help You Learn to Listen.
~offered by horizon greene
I am a complex trauma specialist and have been practicing for over 20 years. I help trauma survivors to move through pain and discomfort, to heal brilliantly and unapologetically and to feel at home in their bodies. I accompany people in the deep work of making real what our souls know is possible.
In our work together I can help you:
-uncover and remember what is beautiful and whole about yourself
-attune and respond to the deep wisdom of your body
-make meaning of your (automatic/autonomic) brain and body reactions
-respond more flexibly when triggered, activated, flooded, frozen
-compassionately attend to shame and trauma responses
-increase your access to self-love, curiosity, compassion and integration
-deepen your capacity for presence with experiences that may now feel intolerable
-discover what healing looks and feels like in your body/mind/spirit/heart
Healing is possible. The magic and neuroscience of trauma healing shows us how.
My healing style is somatic and some of my work looks like helping folx to breathe, to listen deeply to their whole selves and to develop more fluency with their hearts and bodies. I believe the best therapy will always invite your fullness into the room and that by working in the body and attuning toward our full selves we step into our healing.
My practice is deeply informed by the wisdom of Internal Family Systems which teaches us to compassionately understand our thoughts, emotions, behaviors and feelings as a response to systemic wounding and protection rather than the result of pathology. In this way, we work within your inner world by honoring and collaborating with your body’s protective system rather than fighting or overriding it. IFS is a beautifully queer healing lineage that invites the practices of deep witnessing, trust-building, nurturing and self-attunement (the relational practices of safety and love) to help us feel whole and free.
Among other healing modalities (there are so many ways that healing happens!), I practice IFS-informed EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a highly effective healing modality that helps us to sustainably metabolize past traumas and griefs instead of reliving them. Some people call this evidence based, I call it folk medicine–healing pathways that belong to you, are uncovered within the container of our relationship, that tap into your deep embodied knowingness of how to heal. EMDR works by catalyzing your body’s innate wisdom and deep capacity for healing and transformation. It is both magic and science.
