Stress, Anxiety and Depression:

In some ways unfortunately for us, we have a highly developed brain structure, which does not help us to shake off stress and trauma as our 'cousins' (animals in the wild) would. Our ability to think and reason often stands in the way of our natural innate ability to heal. This does not mean that we cannot access this innate ability though, if we engage the wisdom of our 'reptilian' (sensasions) and 'mammilian' (emotions) brains, which often get overridden by the rational (thinking) brain.

Even though stress is a natural and necessary part of our existence, it can be experienced as overwhelming, and this is when stress becomes distress and can cause states of anxiety. There will be times in all our lives when this happens to us, and our modern society is geared towards creating an enormous amount of stress for us, adding to the load. When stress becomes distress and anxiety, the mind races and the bodies functions are limited to survival mode.

Craniosacral therapy, working with the body and its sensations in a safe, calm space, reminds it of it's ability to tune down, to de-stress. In the space thus created it can offer distance to a stressful situation, in which to slow down and connect to an intuitive intelligence. Find out more about sessions.

A very high percentage of people experience depression at some time in their lives. Causes for it are as individual as the person who suffers from it, but may possibly summed up as an overwhelming feeling of helpnessness in dealing with pain caused by trauma through grief, loss, break of trust or other. The impact on the sufferer is emormous and there may seem to be no way out. Sufferers will look for whichever means they have at their disposal to alleviate or dull the pain, some seeking a physical high of some sort; sometimes the means chosen may have the effect to deepen and prolongue the suffering.

Craniosacral sessions can help to create a new relationship to the suffering, the body and self by creating a calm distance to and a stillness around the original trauma energy and by teaching ways to relate to the trauma and oneself, by giving access to new and pleasant sensations, and helping to raise physical and emotional awareness in a safe and positive space.
