There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy
— Nietzsche

Our emotions are here to communicate something to us, and we deserve to have a safe space to discover what they are telling us and how to fully express them. Oftentimes, our current emotional experiences are based on belief systems created in childhood to keep us safe from painful experiences. The way we made sense of our world when we were young influences and shapes our lives today; the quality of our relationships, how we feel about ourselves, and how we fit into the world as adults. We may feel limited by this. Our bodies respond with posturing and armoring patterns to these belief systems and old feelings. The past may be ultimately guiding our choices and behavior as adults. Core Energetics is a somatic therapy that can help us move through these old experiences so we no longer need to defend against them. This process can help people feel more authentic, self accepting, less anxious and depressed, and so much more.
