Today I’m reflecting on the meaning of Good Friday.

What comes to me is that Jesus was a radical and an activist.

He spoke truth to power at a time rife with greed, domination, and control over others.

During his life, he exemplified the qualities of unconditional love, peace, compassion, truth, and justice and was unwavering in upholding these.

For this, he was crucified.

What a statement to the world.

What an incredibly moving and powerful example he held up for humanity.

The courage and faith it took to stand in love, over and over, in the face of immense brutality and injustice is truly awesome.

And he did this out of love for humanity.

He did this out of his love for me.

He did this out of his love for you.

He did this so that we could remember our true nature.

He did this because love is the only thing that matters.

Something I notice a lot still in the mental health space, and to an extent, in the coaching space, is the emphasis on trying to help someone NOT feel their feelings.

This is despite growing awareness of the role of the body in trauma and adoption of concepts such as emotion regulation and window of tolerance.

Whether conscious or unconscious, there is an underlying goal of trying to find ways to help someone push away their emotions.

Even when teaching somatically-oriented exercises such as breath work, grounding, or another body awareness technique, currently they are used in service of “calming” and attemptig to stop the emotion the client is feeling.

Though well intentioned, it does not serve true healing.

As the saying goes, you’ve got to feel it to heal it.

Emotion is energy that is asking to be moved and expressed.

We don’t need more techniques to suppress emotion. We need more techniques (and spaces) that support people to safely feel and express emotions through the body.

Holding onto emotion makes us sick.

Learning to feel and express emotions is the path to healing and reclaiming our humanity.

Are you seeking a space where emotions are welcomed and you are compassionately supported to express difficult feelings and sensations?

As a trauma-informed somatic coach, I offer a 12-week program as well as single, 5-, and 10-session options.
