_{Working with dreams and somatic therapy}

We can work more directly with the body, with the stuff we hold unconsciously in our body and/or comes up in our dreams. It may manifest as anxiety symptoms, freeze state, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, neck pain, headaches or general tension.

Our mind, emotions, and body sensations are all connected. Our body symptoms are an expression of what’s happening deep within our mind, thoughts and emotions. Working therapeutically in this way means bringing attention to what we carry acutely in our body; memories of experiences that have impacted us.

More consciously connecting our body and mind, can help us restore energy to live more fully (instead of always feeling that we are in survival mode). So we can enable a resolving and letting go of long held difficulties and enable increased clarity and an overall feeling of well-being..

We then come back into the present with access energy previously bound up in immobility.Sometimes just understanding where it all comes from can help our body’s innate ability to restore balance, enabling us to feel calmer.

We can work directly with what we hold unconsciously by looking at our dreams both by analysing them and also by use of a more dreaming process. This can help enable shifts both in your understanding of yourself and your unconscious processing, but also can enable a shift energetically in your relationship with your day to day life. These insights and understanding gained can enable deep healing and what we call dreaming on; a moving forward into a more deeply conscious and fulfilled life.

Dream Work means working with the unconscious within us, this is most often re-membered in your dreams and/or held in your body.
