What Working With Me Can Look Like
You don’t have to arrive calm or know how to describe what you feel in your body.
If noticing sensations feels difficult, we can begin with conversation or attention to your surroundings. If slowing down feels uncomfortable, we can explore that without pushing through it.
I may invite you to pause and notice what happens during a session. You can decline, ask questions, or tell me you would prefer a different approach.
FAQ’s
Do I have to talk about every detail of what happened?
Suggested answer: Not at all. You get to choose what you share and when. We don't have to revisit every detail of a painful experience to begin working with its effects. Sometimes our bodies respond to past experiences even when we're not talking about them. Together we can gently notice those responses, such as tension, shutting down, or feeling overwhelmed, and explore ways to support you in the present.
How do I know if your approach is right for me?
You might find this approach helpful if you spend time understanding your experiences, but still notice yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in familiar patterns. Maybe you understand why you react a certain way but changing those reactions feel harder than you expected.
Will I have to move faster than I'm comfortable with?
No. We can move at a pace that allows you to notice what's happening without feeling pressure to push through discomfort. Sometimes that means slowing down, taking a break, or exploring what helps you feel more supported you don't have to force yourself through difficult experiences for our work to be meaningful.
