Emotional Healing
When the physical aspect of the body needs attention, sometimes the emotions get put aside. Or, something traumatic has happened and it is too much to handle alone. Counseling or psychotherapy can help to guide you back to feeling centered and in control. Healing your emotional parts that have been hurt is crucial because unresolved feelings and traumas can become stored in the cells of the body and be relived as if the traumatic experience is still happening in the present day. This reliving creates unpleasant symptoms, sometimes including flashbacks, irritability, anger/rage, unpredictable moods, nightmares, isolation from others, etc.
Either individually or combined, the following are treatments that are known to help integrate painful experiences and allow you to live a full and happy life.
Psychotherapy and Counseling offers a supportive environment to help you navigate through difficult life transitions or experiences. A therapist will be able to help you by acting as a third party to give you unbiased perspective about your particular situation and combined with in-depth training they can guide you through techniques and strategies to help you improve your symptoms. Therapists all have different specialties and backgrounds, the most crucial part of choosing the right therapist is to find someone that you feel like you are comfortable talking to and that you feel understands your specific concerns. It can be helpful to call a few different therapists and ask for a 15-20 minute consultation to get an introduction and see how they would handle the things you are seeking help for.
Bodywork is also an important component to emotional healing. Increasing the mind body connection helps release stuck emotions. As well, stuck emotions are stored in the body and the cells. A skilled massage therapist can help to release these emotions.
Acupuncture is effective at treating many emotional issues, not only stress and nervous system dysregulation, but also it can help to reduce symptoms from anxiety, depression and bi-polar.
