Counseling

with Robin Bodhi

Trauma, anxiety and PTSD can leave us feeling disconnected and fragmented - impacting every area of our lives, especially our trust in the spiritual world.

Where the heart & mind meet

Come home to yourself. Create a deeper, more embodied and spiritual connection with yourself and others.

I’m a mental health therapist passionate about working with adults who struggle in their lives and personal relationships due to complex PTSD and anxiety.

Counseling

Robin’s counseling style is relational, she meets her clients where they are at. Robin addresses trauma, attachment issues, acute and chronic anxiety. Her desire is to help clients find greater ease and comfort in their own bodies by working with nervous system regulation which allows one to be more present and able to engage with others.

By building a relational framework through counseling, clients can find new ways of relating that are more fulfilling.

Robin uses somatic awareness, mindfulness and body-centered therapies to create a therapeutic relationship that supports clients in feeling self-empowered, embodied with greater connection to self and others.

Psychedelic Integration

Integration is key in receiving the most benefit from a psychedelic journey. Robin views integration as a multi-step process that explores how to safely journey and create the best setting for positive experiences. The main piece of integration is post-care which explores how to integrate the experience of the journey into daily life so that the lessons learned are carried forward. Robin believes the biggest part of a journey is in how one processes insights gained, revelations, and new neural pathways.

Sometimes journeys may be challenging and old traumas may resurface or emotional turmoil can occur. Having an integration therapist who can hold space, be a guide and is understanding of the process offers deep reassurance that you are not alone.

Tension, Stress, & Trauma Releasing Exercises: TRE

with Stephenie Going

“Letting go is not for the purpose of forgetting or forgiving the past; it is about releasing the energy of the past to give us back our lives in the present which is necessary to deliver us into a new future. - Dr. David Berceli

What is TRE?
TRE is an innovative approach to help people release patterns of deep muscular tension that are caused by everyday life demands, immediate or prolonged stress, or traumatic life experiences. TRE evolved out of a growing body of research that connects the impact of stress and trauma on the mind and the body. Using a set of simple and easy to learn exercises, TRE accesses and releases stored tension in the muscles, which then sends a message of safety and relaxation to nervous system and the brain. As it is a body-based release that slowly unwinds holding patterns from the core of the body outward, there is little emotional or cognitive processing that would re-trigger uncomfortable or stressful memories.

TRE for all
The power of TRE lies in its ability to help people tap into the body's built in response to move out of tension and chronic stress states. TRE has immediate benefits and is a tool that can be practiced at home on your own, one-on-one with a provider or in groups, for as little as a few minutes time. It is used by many as a method of daily self care, with lifelong benefits. It complements traditional mental health and physical healing modalities, and has helped thousands across the globe in hundreds of counties to move out of chronic states of stress and trauma, and into a new relationship with life.

Documented Benefits of TRE Include:

• Less Worry & Anxiety

• Reduces Symptoms of PTSD

• More Energy & Endurance

• Less Workplace Stress

• Better Sleep

• Less Relationship Conflict

TRE reminds our bodies of the natural, intuitive, instinctual, powerful, and deeply healing response we all possess.

All we need to do is let go, and give it permission.

Learn how you can use your body’s innate wisdom to shift your mindset. These simple, yet powerful physical practices can have an immediate, and lasting effect on your mindset, wellbeing, and overall health by settling, and re-wiring your nervous system.

TRE Sessions typically last about one hour and can be done individually or in groups. You can learn TRE safely and effectively over a series of 3 - 6 sessions with a Certified TRE Provider, after which, you can continue to use TRE on your own whenever you need some self-care, or ideally as a regular part of your life for improved health and wellness.

Private One-On-One Sessions

Single Session/$80 | Package of 3 Sessions/$225

In a one to one session there is more time to safely explore your personal processes. The shaking process can be tailored to meet your individual needs. To heal from trauma we need to include the body physiology and help reset overactive reflexes in the nervous system. We do not need to remember or understand. We do need to down regulate the neurophysiology that is stuck in patterns of ‘fight-or-flight’ or ‘freeze’. You will learn some simple tools to help you self regulate and stay grounded.

Some people prefer one to one sessions as a way to learn TRE over groups or self directed study. Eventually the goal is self-regulation. Booking 3 - 6 one-on-one sessions can be really useful to help gain confidence and skill in how shaking can work for you.

TRE was developed by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, a therapist and international trauma specialist who worked with large populations of traumatized communities in both Africa and the Middle East. Dr. Berceli observed that when the human body experienced high states of tension or threat, it would contract inward to protect vital organs and prepare for the fight or flight response, and this instinctual contraction response was followed by a reflexive shaking and tremoring response. He saw that the tremoring mechanism released tension in the muscles and calmed the nervous system, which allowed a person's body to move back to a state of balance. It was through these observations that Dr. Berceli created TRE, a set of easy to learn exercises with the purpose of turning on this neuro-physiological tremor response in a safe, controlled environment.
