After any stressful or crisis experience, you can continue to carry the emotional stress with you, even after some time. This might be on a conscious, subconscious. This emotional stress can manifest in a physical level: in your cells, muscles, spines, glands, reproductive organs, and more.
The mind and the body are connected. For example, if you are sad or depressed (emotion), this is what might happen: your shoulders slump (muscles), your immune system is depressed (biochemistry), your appetite changes (brain and nervous system), your metabolism changes (hormones/biochemistry) and your breathing becomes shallow (organ/nervous system). Scientific research is only slowly and gradually picking up on how emotions affect our physicality: our biochemistry, anatomy, physiology and histology.
I've worked with many clients who continue to hold emotional stress in their bodies even decades after the sexual assault. At first glance, these clients look like everyone else, like you and me. Some of them were aware of the emotional stress they held in their bodies, some of them were not. But all of them felt much lighter and more relieved after that stress was released.
Releasing the emotional stress surrounding that incident means that you can be more present, relaxed and at ease – even when you think back to that incident.
How can I facilitate this for you? I use modalities like acupressure, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), counselling, flower essences and more. My approach is collaborative. I might be 'doing things to you' with these modalities, but I will also be engaging you in your own healing. I will be connecting you with your own resources, strength and wisdom - either on a conscious or a subconscious level - so that you are also an agent in your own healing.
