We analyze, reflect, and try to “figure things out.” While insight can be valuable, it often doesn’t reach the places where stress, trauma, and long-held patterns actually live, in the body. The practices I use are based on Judith Blackstone's Realization Process, somatic therapy practices, and Psychic Psychology practices, as taught by John Friedlander.
