What is Embodied Processing?

The Embodied Process is the bottom-up approach to working with trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, addiction, depression and a myriad of other stress-related issues. 

This process was created based on years of lived experience, research, training and client sessions.

The creators have incorporated the best methods to help practitioners and clients deepen not only their ability to work with what was once unworkable with normal psychology, but also deepen into themselves and live a much more present and embodied life. 

With all the recent neuroscience on trauma, we are only just beginning to understand what our survival physiology is all about. The underground embodied movement sweeping through the western world is now starting to emerge and provide us with cutting edge knowledge to better understand survival physiology, allowing us the chance to make transformation happen from the ground up. Now we can work with the foundations of our human experience, rather than just playing around on the surface creating more & more enticing psychological concepts.

Within survival physiology lies the survival drive, located “below” the intellect. It is part of our body’s autonomic nervous system. Our culture is one that is based on survival and our collective physiology is one that is based on protection, threat and survival of the individual. As a result, this leaves us unable to experience true connection because our underlying physiology protects us from it. This survival drive has its roots deep within our unconscious and our body. To get to it requires us to move beyond the common psychological practices of the west and move downward, into our body, our nervous system and into the unprocessed pain that exists within our physicality.

The common state of human consciousness in the west is one that lives primarily in the intellect. Although the intellect has extreme benefits and has taken humanity further than we would have ever dreamed of a century ago, it also has its limitations and if not balanced by genuine embodiment can become problematic, keeping us cut off from direct experience and treating the symptom whilst ignoring the underlying drivers. 

Emotional distress, survival stress, trauma, anxiety, depression; all of this lives as unprocessed constrictions in our body. The Embodied Process is a technique used to safely meet and digest unprocessed life experiences, which then has the ability to lift us up to experiencing higher and higher levels of freedom within our physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological experience.

Without treating the cause we are destined to continue to trim the branches of a tree and watch them grow back, sometimes as worse, or unrecognizable behaviours/experiences. 

The cause is below the neck, it is in our physiology. We MUST learn as a culture to work with the body because our survival drive is stronger than our personal sense of willpower. 

If we do not work with this underlying survival drive then we are destined to continue to watch patterns recycle over and over again.

The model that you will learn via this training is one that will take you into a new paradigm, a new way of viewing mental health, trauma, addiction, spirituality and related issues. 

It will give you a new way of viewing your identity, your sense of self and your direct experience. By viewing things in a new way it opens us up to a sense of curiosity where the possibilities are endless.
