All About Sessions
Information about sessions and the way that I work, which will help you decide if this resonates with you.
1
Sessions
In a session, I bring in my skills as a process worker, follower of the Tao, body awareness, and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. With all the skills and understanding of psychological constructs, my preference is to ground the work - psychological, emotional, or spiritual - in the body.

How to begin work?
To see results by working with the psychological, spiritual, physiological, or generational challenges requires a time commitment is like chipping the wood for the sculpture to emerge. Because, unlike our understanding of linear progression, psychological journeys are anything but linear. We may begin with an agenda and may branch out to different routes on the way.
It is necessary to see if you and I are a good fit to chart this journey. The 20-minute free intake call is scheduled for this purpose: to understand your requirement, therapy history, medical history, and the transformation that you intend to achieve through our sessions.
After we decide, we will schedule a regularity of session that will fit your transformational journey.

What does the exploratory call entail?
During the exploratory/intake call, I take information regarding three broad areas in your life - life situations, body symptoms or chronic issues, dreams, and past therapy history.
This call is also a good place to answer your queries and understand your intention from therapy.

Does Somatic Experiencing and/or Bodynamics work?
The troubles or issues we have belong either in the past or the future; only our body lives in the present. The reorganization or renegotiation of any issue is effective only if it happens at the body level.
In the wild, animals live with predators everyday, yet they are not crippled due to trauma. They are able to allow their nervous systems to process the experience and move in the wild again. This capacity within humans is compromised because of our 'thinking brain'. Processing through the body can help reorganize the nervous system to 'learn' from the experiences rather than be disabled because of them.
Bodynamics further strengthens this ability by practicing and working on specific muscle groups.

What are the areas I work with?
When the conscious and the unconscious life are out of sync, life will present issues such as depression, burnout, anxiety, pains and aches, vivid night-time dreams, existential angst, abandonment issues, developmental issues, or troubles in a romantic relationship/ marriage.
6
How do I know if this is a right fit for me?
Sessions are of two broad types:
-
When you simply want to explore. This could be a working towards your larger dream of your life.
-
When you are facing significant challenges in your life - physical, psychological, or are aware of some trauma.
Essentially, each type will require to bring to awareness something that has been in the unconscious. To venture into the unknown takes time and commitment of staying on course.

How does a session look like?
In a session, I will generally ask you to set an agenda of how you would like to use our time together - the issue you would like to work on today?
You can bring an issue you are facing in your life, a night-time dream, a stuck-ness in life, or to renegotiate trauma that you have recently become aware of. Exploring an aspect may run into more than one session.

Session Fees
The fees I charge reflect my time, effort, my studies, and my presence. As I honour that, I also wish to create supportive spaces for your exploration. Hence, the fees will be arrived at after an individual discussion.
