Ladan Nabet Bodies in Resonance

Nervous System Resilience Sessions

Aligning with your Body's Inherent Wisdom

Process oriented somatic and bodywork to support you in:

• Connecting with your body's innate healing capacities
• Learning how to shift from overwhelm, fatigue and inflammatory body states (downshifting from go-go-go and coming back online after things are too much) to more ease
• Developing the capacity to be with strong sensations and under-responsive areas of the body
• Meeting undigested life experiences held in your body with care and compassion
• Understanding your body's survival responses and wisdom in the face of chronic stress, pain, illness and isolation
• Navigating your body's alarm systems around connection

Sessions are rooted in cultivating the capacity to sense, be with and follow one's body wisdom through cultivation of your "felt sense". This sensing (known as interoception) and how we relate with it has important connections to our well being and physical health. It's also is a key to healing trauma and disconnection. It is the ground of our embodiment.

These powerful tools support personal growth, navigating complex health needs, and healing histories of trauma and neglect. They can also help you connect the dots between psychotherapy and your medical care.

What are sessions like?
We typically begin with orienting to the present moment and touching base about your intentions for the session. We'll meet what unfolds by orienting to the body and what's arising in your awareness in doable pieces and supporting your nervous system along the way.

The tools of how we meet what arises are drawn from both traditional and leading edge nervous system and somatic trauma resolution approaches: Alchemical Alignment Bodywork for Trauma Resolution, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing Principles, Systemic Constellation Principles (transgenerational and systems based healing approach), Traditional East Asian Medicine philosophy, and various traditional energy healing practices.

Sessions may include:

• Slow, trauma informed touch work and awareness skills to find more ease and develop your somatic awareness.
• Learning ways to shift out of feeling overwhelmed or collapsing (specifically skills called pendulation, orienting, titration, working with the breath and co-regulation)
• Learning about the wisdom of your nervous system (health, your window of presence and how to help it grow; understanding your body's cues when shifting in and out of protective fight, flight, freeze, fawn/appease, grief, and shame responses and how not to get stuck there)
• Micro Gesture, Movement & Stillness Practices

For some patterns rooted in ancestral or soul histories, I may recommend a series of Pattern Healing Sessions during our work together.

These sessions are for you when:

• You want to better understand yourself and be in the driver's seat of your own wellbeing
• You've been on a healing path for a while, have explored your family history and would like more support for your body in this process
• You've had a challenging birth history, medical procedure or family legacy that you still carry with you
• You have at least two other active supports in your life (trusted relationships, medical providers, psychotherapist, community, spiritual connection, connection to nature, etc.)
• You are an empath and want more support around what is and what is not yours to carry

Working Together

This work is a highly individualized process based on your particular goals. Yet, in a few sessions, you'll have a sense of the possibilities.

Our work together tends to be most transformative when engaged consistently over time. A helpful beginning container is often meeting twice month for 3 to 4 months.

Others prefer to meet weekly at first for more support, and then space sessions out to once or twice a month after that. 

You're also welcome to drop in as needed. 

This work can be a great compliment to psychotherapy and your medical care. It's important not to do too much at once, however. After a few sessions of working together, I'm happy to make recommendations about what frequency might be most helpful for you.
