VIDEO: STRT is an Embodied Therapy

Jan Normanton • May 23, 2023

This STRT therapy that I offer is a beautiful therapy, it is an embodied therapy that tackles the most issues at source which is nervous system dysregulation.

It supports clients to come out of nervous system dysregulation, of stress and supports the body to default to the rest and digest state where we can feel relaxed, soothed, expansive, clear, clear headed, clear minded, free of the burdens of difficult emotions.

We can switch off those states of high anxiety or deep depression.

We can turn around pain, pain that has no reason to be there. Pain that isn’t due to surgery or an injury may be due to an overactive nervous system that is primed to be in the fight/flight/fright state, so that there’s tension in the body all the time and that the body never gets to relax, with muscles that are overworked, that are always tense and tight and this causes the tension and the pain that we can experience chronically when our nervous system is dysregulated.

Paying attention and tending to our body can pay dividends and engender trust in ourselves

While our mind can struggle to change its mind, our body offers the dynamic truth of our reality if we care to tune in and dare to trust it

Paying attention and tending to our body can pay dividends, engendering trust and allowing us to show up in life in a dynamic and flowing way rather than fixated rules and regulations made up by the mind to keep us safe and based on old paradigms that may no longer serve us.

Direct embodied experience offers us the informed decision making tool that the brain can’t offer

It’s only through direct embodied experience that we can make an informed decision about who we are and then really get to know ourselves

It’s only through direct embodied experience where can make an informed decision about who we are and then really get to know ourselves. Relying upon the brain is only part of the picture and a skewed one at that full of external influences and second hand beliefs
