Send us a textAre you a Therapist, Counsellor or Coach? Are you passionate about helping your client find and heal the root cause of their suffering but find that they frequently get stuck in the therapeutic process ?Does any of the following sound familiar ?Clients who have an inability to discuss or bring awareness of difficult emotionsClients who are stuck in story, often blaming othersClients who have an inability to access their emotional content due to the fear of nervous system activation, resulting in you fearing to re-traumatise your clientAn inability for your client to identify the source of their suffering, therefore feeling hopeless and leading to comorbidity. Clients who become stuck and fail to fully commit to the therapeutic process with frequent DNA’sAs therapists, we know the answer is to find the source of their suffering and that source is deep in the unexplored depths of past experiences. These unique experiences are locked into the body and mind.The reality though, for most of our clients, is that being invited to the source of that pain is terrifying. For them, those depths are simply not a safe place to be and, as a result, the wonderful, benevolent tool - the mind, says ” No, we will NOT go there! “When this happens, your client becomes stuck and therefore blocked from further therapeutic processing. Facilitating our clients to safely & without re-traumatising, find the source of their suffering is vital to successfully complete their therapeutic process. We need a scaffolding process that safely facilitates the clients access and exploration of their wounded self.In this episode, we'll be focusing on moving beyond the narratives and getting deeper into the embodied emotional experiences for your clients. You'll learn the four components of emotional shutdown and the roadmap for understanding why it is so difficult for our clients to move beyond 'story'.For instant access to the masterclass videos covering this topic videos, follow this link: https://wellnessseeker.lpages.co/clearing-l1-evergreen-masterclass-1register/
