Ladan Nabet Bodies in Resonance

Nervous System Resilience

When you're drained and burning the candle at both ends you might find yourself asking--when was the last time I felt good? Really good in my body?

When lots of people depend you or the stakes feel high, it can be hard to down shift from an overwhelming sense of urgency. Hard to bounce back from stressful times. Hard to make space for yourself. 

You might long to ease up, but your body doesn't seem to know how. Or when you need to get going again, it's hard to muster momentum.

And if you're managing a chronic health issue that keeps flaring up, too, that can feel like its own full time job.

You need to truly replenish.

You want to stop fighting your body.

What if you finally had a map for how to navigate the complex intersection of stress, chronic health issues and all your body has carried you through? A way to move through this terrain without feeling even more overwhelmed. And a path to restore, one step at a time. 

This is the landscape of your nervous system and energy body.

And its map offers the pathways to replenish your body and repattern its systems.

The Map of Your Nervous System

Your body's wisdom is often communicated through your experience of your "felt sense". This is your ability to notice sensations moving through your body and sense your body in space and time. This sensing (known as interoception), is a way of mapping your inner terrain.

How you relate with this terrain has important connections to your physical health and overall well being. It's a key to healing histories of disconnection and trauma. It is the ground of embodiment.

When This Approach Makes the Difference

• You've been on a healing path for a while, tending to how family and childhood dynamics have impacted you
• You want support for your body (and maybe you're also afraid of what you might find there)
• You hold a lot for others and need a space that can hold you
• You're an empath or highly sensitive person, tired of absorbing other people's stuff
• You've had a challenging health issue, medical procedure, or birth history
• You've got a support system (friends, family, colleagues, mentors, connection to nature or the sacred, medical providers)

Working Together

The process will be unique to you--based on your particular goals, needs and history. Yet, in a few sessions, you'll have a sense of the possibilities.

Sessions deepen over time. A slow, layered, consistent approach tends to be most replenishing and transformative.

We'll lay the groundwork to:

• Shift from overwhelm, fatigue and inflammation to more ease
• Repattern the body's alarm systems which fuel chronic symptoms
• Land and rest
• Build your somatic capacity to meet the hard things
• Trust your knowing and intuition
• Recover magical parts of who you really are.
  (Yes, they're still here.)

The Process

Sessions typically begin with settling and connecting with the present moment. Then we'll check in about your intentions for the session.

Next we'll meet what unfolds for your body and arising in your awareness in doable pieces, pausing along the way. In person, we may include gentle touch work for support. Virtually, our awareness acts as the touch. We may also explore movement along the way.

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

What if you had support and didn't have to connect the dots on your own?

A helpful beginning container is often meeting twice month for 3 to 4 months.

Some clients prefer to meet weekly at first for more support or to layer in new groundwork at the beginning, and then space sessions out to once or twice a month after that. 

You're also welcome to drop in monthly or as needed if that better suits your exploration at this time.

This work can be a helpful compliment to psychotherapy or your medical care. Yet, it's important not to do too much at one time. Our bodies need time to digest our experiences. After a few sessions of working together, I'm happy to make recommendations about what frequency might be most helpful for you for your particular circumstances.
