VIDEO: Get out of your Head and into your Body!

Jan Normanton • July 3, 2023

This STRT therapy is a beautiful therapy to support clients to come into their true selves.


As, many of us can live in our heads and it’s not the true place; we are not our heads, we have a mind and it has amazing capacity and is an incredible tool, it’s a phenomenal tool to support us with our lives and yet it is in our gut brain where our true self resides and lies.


So my therapy is an embodied therapy; it tackles all of these symptoms - what we think of as maybe being the main agenda, the main problem, the main issue whether that’s physical, mental or emotional.


Really what’s going on underneath is nervous system dysregulation. We are just disconnected from our true nature, from our true selves and I support clients to come back into the body as and when they feel safe enough to do so.


This affords them that beautiful opportunity to reconnect finally with themselves, to understand better what they need in life, how much support they need with regards to managing this state that feels out of control sometimes where they dip naturally into the stress state rather than the rest and digest state.
