Lifespan Integration

Lifespan Integration is a gentle, body-based therapeutic method which heals without re-traumatizing. We all hold beliefs that limit us; perhaps these beliefs were once protective but now, they no longer serve a positive worthy purpose. Through Lifespan Integration, we get to find out where these beliefs were born, be it early learning through family circumstances, one’s own world view or big “T” or little “t” trauma. Lifespan Integration allows us to resolve and restructure these beliefs in a safe, profound and lasting way.

Mindfulness

Anxiety, depression, trauma, low self esteem and learned thought and behaviour patterns can make us feel like we are stuck. As if nothing will ever be different. Mindfulness can bring us into ourselves and into the present moment. One moment at a time we can unfold into freedom from our suffering.

The Work

“All the suffering that goes on inside our minds is not reality, says Byron Katie. It's just a story we torture ourselves with.” I often hear insightful clients say they know their thoughts are causing them stress, feelings of anxiety or distress. People understand that changing their perspective could in fact change their lives. So, how does one do this? Byron Katie has created a simple, effective system to help us examine our stressful thoughts and truly release us from our stress-inducing stories.

Adlerian Therapy

Adlerian psychotherapy focuses on individuals as an integral part of of a greater whole. It is, therefore, holistic in nature and its understanding of what drives and influences behaviour. It is an optimistic, strength-based and person-centred in its approach. Integral in this approach are considerations of one’s past experiences, one’s personal goals and the social context upon which one finds themselves. Adlerian therapists see people as both the creator and the creation of their own lives. Through this lens we will work together to understand your goals, the way you see yourself and the world around you, and the influence your early experiences have had on both.

Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy

From our earliest relationships, we learn how to create relationships with others and to manage our feelings - or not. These early relational experiences deeply impact how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us for better or worse. Through a somatic attachment psychotherapeutic lens we work on healing one’s ineffective coping strategies, our deeply held attachment wounds and heal relational trauma.
