This 2-hour workshop is co-led by Lisa Basile MA, LMHP and Amy Mayer OTD, OTR/L, RYT.
If you're familiar with the work of Bessel van der Kolk or Dr. John Sarno you know that emotions are often the culprit when experiencing physical pain. In our culture we feel more comfortable discussing and seeking out help for our physical pain. This is not always true for our emotional pain. Therefore, our intelligent bodies often express our emotional pain as a physical problem.
Another way to think about emotions causing pain, is the continued release of cortisol and the unconsciously held tension causing pressure in our fascial system. This pressure causes the nerves in the fascia to be compressed and irritated.
In this workshop we will apply the principles of myofascial release through gentle pressure into the body to release physically painful areas. During the process we'll identify and release any emotions related to the painful area through a guided meditation process.
This workshop combines the principles of myofascial release with underlying emotional distress components. This workshop integrates the mind and body and takes your healing journey to the next level. As we release the fascial system, we will also be working with the underlying and overlapping emotional content that oftentimes creates blockages in the physical body, slowing down recovery.
We are excited to share this truly holistic experience with you. Our goal is to help people to heal and experience a more meaningful connection between their bodies and mind, creating greater health, wellness, and loving compassion of the self.
If you have ever wondered if there is an emotional component to your body pain, this workshop will help you discover this!
The workshop will be co-led by Amy Mayer OTD, OTR/L, RYT and Lisa Basile MA, LMHP.
