You understand your patterns. So why do you still feel stuck
You understand your patterns. So why do you still feel stuck in them?
You may know exactly why you overthink, people-please, shut down, second-guess yourself, or struggle to know what you actually want.
But knowing where a pattern comes from doesn't always change what happens when you're in the middle of it.
Through somatic coaching and IFS-informed parts work, we'll slow things down and explore what's happening beneath the thoughts, so you can begin to hear yourself more clearly and respond from what feels true for you.
When understanding isn't enough
Our patterns don't only live in our thoughts. They can show up in the tightening in your chest before you say yes when you mean no, the urge to explain yourself, the shutdown when something feels like too much, or the part of you that starts questioning a decision you felt good about five minutes ago.
Rather than asking you to think harder about what's happening, we get curious about what's happening underneath it.
That might mean noticing a sensation in your body, slowing down a reaction, exploring a protective part, or noticing when your mind is saying one thing while your body is telling you something entirely different.
My role isn't to tell you what any of it means. It's to help you slow down, get curious, and discover your own answers.
What actually happens in somatic coaching + parts work?
We don't begin with the assumption that something about you needs to be fixed. Instead, we get curious about what's happening in the moment.
That might mean noticing a sensation in your body, slowing down a reaction, exploring the part of you that wants to keep everyone happy, or listening to the part that is afraid of making the wrong choice.
Sometimes we'll explore a belief, memory, emotion, or protective part that shows up. Other times we'll simply notice that your mind has a lot to say while your body is telling you something entirely different.
My role is to ask questions, help you slow things down, and stay curious with you as you discover your own answers.
The goal isn't to become dependent on me to tell you what something means. It's to build a relationship with yourself that you can carry with you long after our work together ends.
What might you bring into our sessions?
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on. We can start with what's happening in your life right now.
Maybe you're:
- Going back and forth over a decision you can't seem to make
- Feeling resentful after saying yes when you wanted to say no
- Replaying conversations and wondering if you said or did the wrong thing
- Getting triggered in a relationship and reacting in ways you understand but can't seem to change
- Having moments of anger or rage that seem to take over, even when part of you knows your reaction is bigger than what's happening
- Feeling disconnected from what you actually want
Often, what looks like indecision, people pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, anger, or shutting down makes more sense when we understand what those patterns are trying to protect.
The work starts showing up outside our sessions
You notice the urge to say yes and give yourself a moment before answering. You recognize when you're looking for someone else to tell you what to do. You catch an old reaction sooner and have a little more choice in how you respond.
You begin to recognize the difference between fear and a genuine no, between an old protective response and something that doesn't feel right for you now, and between what you think you should want and what you actually want.
You're learning how to hear your own answers.
