Intuitive Guidance As Self-Healing

In this session we practice 'Intuitive Guidance'. Followed by 10 minutes of silent practice.

Intuitive Guidance is a form of trauma healing that combines somatic reconnection, radical self-acceptance, Internal Family Systems, parts therapy, mindfulness, and deep introspection.

We hold that the body keeps the score (getting stuck in fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or fantasy), emotions are messages, and that through an attitude of compassionate curiosity and calm confidence, we can heal.

To practice, we embrace and embody the Self (intuition) and then invite into the session a part of our body that is holding onto the past, and then feel deeply. Over time, this connection allows expression, release, reconnection, and eventually reintegration.
