Same feeling, Different Day- There's help!

Have you sought help, took the medicine, went to the meeting, and still feel the same as before? You're not alone!

Some people walk around with a hollow feeling in their chest, a heaviness on their shoulders, or a burn in their gut no matter what is going on outside of their body.

Here's the scoop- No matter what is happening our body is created to protect itself. So, if we have had bad things happen to us, or even our parents, our body's defense mechanisms are on alert to protect the body from more bad things, no matter how lonely, sad, or worried it makes you FEEL.

For example, if a person was sexually abused by a close person in their childhood, when they grow up and create positive, good, healthy relationships, the body still has a goal of protecting itself from close relationships. Should the person that was wounded in childhood never have close relationships? Absolutely not! However, if a person is in a close relationship and their body feels the need to protect itself from the close relationship, fear can creep in and create negative thoughts that would otherwise not exist. These thoughts could lead to blame, paranoia, being emotionally unavailable, clingy behavior, and so on.

There are tools that help people heal emotionally from the past and connect the physical body to their emotional healing. One that is highly utilized in therapy is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This therapy utilizes the bodies' feelings and the mind's thoughts/ memories to negate the lie a person is living in and align them with the truth. For example, a person can believe they are a "screw up." Everything they touch messes up. In utilizing EMDR, a person can process the root of this feeling and come to a healthy reality.

Another tool we use to help heal the body is Unyte- iLS Safe and Sound Protocol. This is an auditory intervention (fun music influenced by specific frequencies). Dr. Stephen Porges designed this method to reduce stress and auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience. "By calming the physiological and emotional state, SSP can open the door for improved communication and more successful therapy." (stephenporges.com)

The final tool that I want to mention that we offer at A Healing Path is Infrared Sauna. "Infrared saunas have been shown to optimize the production and reception of the natural antidepressants in our brain- dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. It's also been shown they help to lower the level of cortisol in the body, the chemical associate with stress and tension." (generatoathletelab.com)

Using the tools mentioned, a person can create a hopeful, peaceful feeling in their body, even if they have been traumatized or have a history of trauma in their family background.
