Love with Contact is the Best Healer
Children are naturally trusting and they have basic needs. They look to adults for acceptance, love, nourishment and so much more so that they can grow and thrive in this world.
Yet statistics say that child abuse is reported every 10 seconds.
In most cases, children adapt and survive many cases of abuse and trauma, but that doesn’t mean that the mind and body have processed the whole experience/s. So as adults, often in a trusting massage relationship, emotions and sensations come up as the body eventually reveals old patterns that may have developed as a defensive reaction. Traumas can include something like falling off a bike as a child, being scared by a loud argument, re-occurring abandonment situations or being terrorized by an event. Most people have touched into some type of trauma whether small or life impacting and developed strategies to cope with life without being fully aware. But through a series of mindful massage and bodywork the body’s own intelligence can set the pace for healing. Not only in the body, but the sensory information is related to the brain as well to restore balance.
Opening the human heart through gentle contact to heal past trauma.
Craniosacral Therapy
As a massage therapist, Sharon Hartnett LMT, has trained to work with trauma at the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, and the Upledger Institute to understand how the body holds and can release trauma in safe environment. She has worked with soldiers, victims of rape, neglected children and adults who face physical challenges due to accidents in their childhood. In the massage therapy sessions, counseling is not provided , but what does happens is that dialogue can help the process open up. As the younger “child consciousness” show up organically, support and love are held without judgment. When the younger energy is acknowledged, accepted, cared for, and allowed to feel deeply, often the process is able to complete and no longer circulates as anxiety and reactionary systems anymore.
Sometimes, when talk therapy doesn’t help with a physical challenge, going to a trained massage therapist LMT, who trained in ethics and in holding a compassionate container to support their clients in this process, will be the way out. When no other avenues have helped you to integrate, the body intelligence may be able to complete your healing through the mind, body, and spirit connection.
It’s important to say that this is more of a self educational type of session as Massage Therapists are not licensed psychologists or such. The Massage Sessions are one of Self-Discovery that has helped many to find inner peace and love.
