How a somatic approach to anxiety in New York helps calm anxiety. Somatic therapy in Brooklyn, NY.

I was a troubled sleeper for all of my life. Literally.

Whether business owners want to admit it or not, being on Instagram is time-consuming. I kept trying to convince myself that I would be different. I needed Instagram to grow my business. I knew better than to get hooked...

In January of 2022, I enthusiastically decided to delete Instagram and never looked back…or so I thought.

But in mid-September of 2023, after following the advice of a business coach, I found myself back on Instagram for Third Nature Therapy with the hopes of growing my online presence and attracting more people to my practice.

What actually happened was that I got sucked back into the Instagram algorithm, and whether I wanted to admit it or not, my life changed in subtle ways.

Throughout the year, there were many moments when I listened to, or read something and thought, "I wish I could share this with all my clients!"

I feel silly that it took creating a best-of-2023 list to do that.

I love sharing resources. It's part of my natural make-up, a desire to share and help people engage with critical thinking that might be out of their day-to-day wheelhouse.

So, here's a list of some of my most shared resources (or things I wish I shared) of 2023. Perhaps in 2024, I'll make this a monthly list as a way to really indulge myself.

I hope you enjoy it; thanks for indulging me!

When faced with a threat or danger, our bodies have a remarkable ability to react swiftly, often without conscious thought. This automatic response is known as the fight-or-flight response.

However, when you’ve experienced trauma of the past, the body’s reactions can be more complex and varied in the present. Let’s dive into the different trauma responses and explore how they manifest.

Recognizing and understanding trauma responses is crucial for effective therapy. Therapists use various approaches, such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), to help individuals process and manage their trauma responses.

Therapy provides a safe space for individuals to explore their experiences, understand their reactions, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Through therapeutic interventions, individuals can learn to regulate their emotions, challenge negative thought patterns, and build resilience in the face of trauma.

Attachment trauma, stemming from early experiences of neglect, abuse, or inconsistent caregiving, can significantly impact an individual’s emotional well-being throughout their life. Understanding the psychology behind attachment trauma is crucial for recognizing its effects and taking steps towards healing. This includes the fundamentals of attachment trauma, common signs, and understanding practical suggestions for improving issues associated with attachment trauma.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a widely recognized method for treating various mental health issues, particularly trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you’ve made the decision to explore EMDR therapy as an avenue for healing, understanding what to expect and how to prepare is crucial for making the most of your sessions.

Healing from trauma often requires more than just talking through memories and emotions.

Enter somatic therapy, a holistic approach that works on the connection between mind and body to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences.
