Cranio Kent

Cranio Kent Trusted and experienced Craniosacral Therapist offering Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy in East Malling (near West Malling), Maidstone, Kent.

Working primarily with the nervous system and identifying pain and tension to facilitate change
🌸 Sarah Johnson Craniosacral Therapy supports the body’s natural tendency to find health and optimum balance by relieving the body of these restrictions and allowing it to realign. Craniosacral Therapy can often effect structural change, but also has much wider implications, both physically and psycholo

gically. Craniosacral Therapists are trained to feel motions in the body which are more subtle than the heart beat and lung breathing that we are all familiar with.

One of my clients last week commenting that coming for her sessions with me was her 'SANCTUARY'. To be able to offload her problems, to be held and heard and achieve peace and safety is so important to her and even though her original symptoms are nearly gone, she wants to keep coming once a month for all the additional (and originally unforeseen) benefits that keep coming.

I literally have clients who have been coming to see me monthly all the time I have been qualified..... nearly 15 years. They still rely on it for their wellness. Do you have sanctuary? If not, do you want one?

šŸ¤— It's time to STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR THERAPIST!

šŸ˜ When in therapy, it is important to know that your therapist is 'big enough' to handle whatever you throw at them. Sometimes clients worry that their story or their feelings are too scary, too traumatic or too upsetting for their therapist to handle. Please let me assure you that this is never the case at Cranio Kent!

🤩 I have a responsibility to myself, those close to me and to all my clients to ensure that I always look after myself. All decent therapists have SUPERVISION which is a confidential space where the therapist is regularly supported and mentored. Accredited supervisors are highly experienced practitioners, with training in psychotherapy and advanced trauma training.

šŸ† Supervisors themselves will receive supervision/have a mentor also.

This arrangement is often referred to as LAYERS OF SUPPORT and is essential for you to feel safe to present whatever comes up for you in therapy.

If you are a therapist and looking for a new supervisor, please do reach out to me, details in bio.

I was helping some other therapists the other day and we were talking about our therapies being complementary to traditional medicine rather than alternative to it and I have to say, this is the view of most of my clients, i.e. the therapy works alongside any medical treatment they are having.

However, it is true to say that some people would never ever consider seeking any help outside of traditional medicine. They might even view the more well established therapies as pseudoscience or at worst potentially harmful.

On the other hand, there are definitely people whose first port of call is the complementary therapy of their choice. I have clients for example who contact me first whatever the situation..... eye infection call Sarah, slipped disc call Sarah, can't sleep call Sarah, son is stressing me out call Sarah etc etc. I love that they do that and obviously they have learnt over time that often I can help (and I love that even more). Sometimes I have to recommend they see their GP of course, but even then they may not be keen to.

Its just so interesting how different people are.

ā€œI was curious to find out more about Craniosacral Therapy, as I did not know anything about it. Not only did Sarah explain it well to me, she also gave me an unforgettable treatment. It felt as if parts of my body were freed up again and flooded with new energy. It was quite an amazing experience and it is still beyond me how something so gentle can have such powerful results. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable, professional and very passionate about her work, which makes the experience even more special. Highly recommend.ā€ DA

Loving the honesty here….there’s no shame in taking antidepressants

Loving the honesty here….there’s no shame in taking antidepressants

I take anti-anxiety meds. Apparently that means my faith is broken.

A pastor on the internet told me this week that I shouldn’t be taking them. That no Christian should be on long-term antidepressants or anti-anxiety meds. She said that if I had true faith, I would not need them. That if I truly trusted God, I would not need them.

Cool, cool, cool.

The worst I got was when I had preschool children and my brain turned on me. It was a combination of hormones, stress, starting a new business, running out of money, and having a child with additional needs who was undiagnosed. All of it together added up to one conclusion: I was a bad mum. My brain broke on me.

I made a commitment then to get on meds and stay on them, stay in therapy, and stay with God. All three have worked like a slightly chaotic group project where, for once, everyone actually does their part.

After Holy Week, I was hiding from the world and doom scrolling. I saw her video and felt a gut punch. I felt like a failure. She pushed the one button that is still so vulnerable.

Like this is a secret I’m not meant to have.

I take other medication for my body, and I don’t feel any shame about that. So why is there shame here? Why does this feel like something I’m not meant to say out loud?

It’s because of this clobber verse:* ā€œPerfect love casts out fear.ā€ People use it as a weapon to mean: if I really knew God’s love then I wouldn’t have anxiety.

That if I was still anxious, it must mean something in my faith is broken.

My anxiety is not from a lack of faith. In fact, my faith has been the one thing that has held me together, time and time again. If anything, when it got so bad that I could barely leave the house, faith was the only thing I didn’t lose.

I still knew that God loved me.
That God cared for me.
That God would carry me through.

And He did.

Perfect love doesn’t always remove fear all at once. Sometimes it casts it out daily. And again. And again.

God was with me in the darkest moments of my life. He didn’t abandon me or leave me. He carried me.

Perfect love casts out fear. And it does. But for me, it looks like this.
I take my fears to God every day.
Sometimes I write them down and pray over them.
Sometimes I just tell Him everything and then get on with my day.

I give God my fears the way other people say grace before a meal. Constantly. Repeatedly. Every single day.

And together, God and I get through the day.

And yes, I also take medication. And go to therapy. Turns out, God works through those too.

Today is Low Sunday. The Sunday after Easter. Low Sunday is not a celebration of those of us who are prone to mental health struggles, but I like to pretend it is. It feels like it fits.

So Happy Low Sunday. And bless all of us who take the damn meds.

Bless you my friends,
Rev Jessie
