Exploring the intersections of somatic awareness, society, & policy
Somatic Enquiries invites curiosity regarding the therapeutic, social, and practical threads that weave us while centering solidarity and mutual health aid. I provide counsel, analysis, and commentary on the social structures inflecting our ability to care for ourselves and others–Trauma Informed Public Health Consultation.
My life experience as a caregiver provides a clarity of vision enhanced by practice and education. I offer personal therapy explorations of how triggers and overwhelm may be managed with a felt sense and coherent big picture view. I offer education to those seeking to understand Somatic Experiencing’s unique application to issues of personal agency and collective welfare.
I offer individual Somatic Experiencing educational sessions. I also offer consultation, presentations, and education to larger groups on the intersections of our nervous systems, society, and history regarding “care.”
Practice makes wisdom and these are a few easy, regular somatic tools many of us have at hand. Doing any of these in a daily or hourly rhythm helps me stay present amidst constant change.
- take a few easy breaths
- stretch a little
- notice something interesting nearby– it could be a color, a shape, a sound, a smell, or a sensation of temperature
- consider that you are here, now … and … that may be enough
