What if the thing blocking your dreams isn't your mind,
But it's your body?
It's your nervous system.
Have you ever wanted something so deeply in your life,
But the moment you started walking toward it or you got close to it,
Your body and your nervous system went into fight or flight or started freaking out?
This,
When it happens,
Is your body trying to protect you from something,
Even when you're not in danger anymore.
Because your body,
What's happening is it thinks that what you want is dangerous.
But with somatic healing,
We can change this.
And if you've ever been through something like this in your life,
Where you've walked toward something and then started to freak out when you get there,
I know I've been there many times,
Because this is what somatic healing is here to help us with.
Not thinking your way through change,
But feeling your way through change.
Retraining your nervous system to feel safe enough to hold the life that you are trying to create for yourself.
