Freedom Lives in Understanding.
Chronic Pain and Trauma result when our bodyminds are unable, due to low resources or limited capacity, to resolve the environmental or internal conflict that triggered the response. For example,
Low back pain can stem from a struggle between compensation patterns in your hips, ribs and abdomen.
Pain with sex denotes a disagreement between your your heart and your pelvis.
Migraines tend to express the pressure to achieve colliding with the structural capacity for doing.
Trauma is often the manifestation of discord between who you are and who you once believed yourself to be.
Whether the conflict is internal or external or a combination of both, at Philosophers's Stone you and I work together to bring your body-mind into accord with itself. Updating outdated patterns. Finding and unwinding the structural and energetic roots beneath your specific pain.
Freedom isn't found through force. This work is about finess. Respecting what your bodymind has done to protect you so far, and understanding what support or permission it is saying it needs now. The autonomic safety this approach creates allows for your systems to architecture new, sustainable, cohesive movement.
Physical and emotional pain are rooted in conflict.
Conflicts have resolutions.
I'm here to help you find yours.
