SOMATIC ‘PARTS’ TRAUMA THERAPY

THE YOGA HUT NEAR BINGHAM OR ONLINE

A rare evening weekly therapy slot has become available for a new client. This slot will be on a Monday evening 6-7pm from September.

I am TIST trauma Certified and also have training in IFS and Somatic Experiencing as well as 30 years experience in working with people.

So what is parts work?

When we are young children and we experience BIG and painful feelings (grief, terror, abandonment, not good enough to name a few)- if we can fully express them and have them safely heard and held they move through us.

If we can’t fully express them they get shut away inside. They are locked away and we don’t want to feel them because it’s scary. They become ‘pain parts,’ young child parts of us who are holding onto that unexpressed pain.

As we grow, in order to keep us away from the pain parts, we develop ‘protector parts,’ which manifest as behaviours which help us to survive in the world. Some examples of these might be people pleasing, inner critic or an inability to trust. There are many more!

Through Somatic Parts Therapy you will get to know these inner child parts of yourself and gradually begin to integrate them into yourself through inner dialogue and Somatic work. It’s a journey to a sense of wholeness you might never have experienced before.

It’s not easy. It’s a journey that requires courage and commitment. But a fuller Life awaits you.

Please get in touch with me if any of this resonates for you. We can talk further about how this form of therapy might help you or you can come along for a session and try it out for yourself.

JOURNEY TO THE DARK GODDESS RETREAT

30th October- 2nd November
Shining Cliff Hostel, Ambergate

Come and join us if you can at Shining Cliff for a deep dive into the darkness. It’s hard to imagine right now but Lammas marks another moment as the powers of darkness begin to wax and grow.

The Samhain gathering is very special. It’s wonderful to come for the day but surrendering to the full Retreat process for that few days is very powerful.

All sorts of deliciousness are included, to nourish your body, mind and Spirit.

Dates are Friday 30th August 3.30pm to Monday 2nd November 10am. Join us if you can.

With blessings
Kara ♥️💛

I have woken this morning following yesterday’s Red Tent Circle with the familiar feeling of having given everything. A delicious and deeply pervading tiredness that holds within it such warmth and fullness of life.

In the therapy I offer we work with Self and parts. Self is the inner wisdom, the clarity, boundless compassion and knowing- it’s always there unchanging but often obscured by the parts who are there to protect us because of past trauma or adverse life experiences.

What I notice in the Circles is a ‘ critical mass’ of collective Self energy. Women on the healing path learning to live more and more in Self energy as they heal. This draws others into this space and place, easing naturally arising individual fears and tensions that can often be triggered by groups. It’s a wonderful thing to witness, particularly when I see the changes that are coming in women courageously doing the deep healing work and also when I see new people arriving, often understandably nervous or slightly guarded, being drawn into the warmth and joy that’s here and relaxing into it.

That is why I will always hold these spaces as long as there is breath in my body. From my Self to yours, heart to heart ♥️

LAMMAS

The ancient festival of gathering in the grain. In the Red Tent Circle on Saturday we will be making corn dollies. These can be taken home and kept as a symbol of the seeds of your own personal harvest this year. It’s a time to reflect on what you have achieved so far and what needs to be gathered into your heart and nourished over the dark time of the year perhaps ready to bloom next year.

Along with the corn dollies we will be singing and sharing together and tapping into the wonderful deep nourishment that’s received when women gather together.

Would you like to join us?

Retreats are held in the stunning woodland at Shining Cliff near Ambergate in Derbyshire. The energy of the woodland is amazing. Photos from last year’s Retreat.
