WONDERING HOW I GOT HERE??

The Pandemic Taught Me a Ton! Shew! As a Professional It Pushed My Boundaries of How to Show up as a Therapist.

I began noticing that the typical cognitive skills were not quite enough for how clients were showing up to sessions. This became incredibly frustrating, so I began to se

ek other modalities that addressed body stress. This led me to Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), and an interesting thing happened. I began to use it more for myself as a way to counteract the parallel processing that was happening during COVID - because therapists are not exempt from the stress and trauma that the shut down brought about (and the church said...AMEN). 

Before long, it dawned on me that I needed additional training in physiology to address how the body responds to stress and overwhelm. It was a huge gap considering that trauma resides in the body. That is when I found MELT METHOD and began my personal journey with fascia - not to mention keeping my sciatica at bay. It was so liberating to have some fresh skills that gave me agency over how the pandemic was showing up in my body. 

Of course, I began bragging to my therapists "frans" and started to notice a pattern. They were also struggling to find ways to manage this new and crazy "pandemonium". We were all tapping out on workable skills. But, it made sense, we had never been through this before. So, being the manifesting generator that I am (Hello Human Design!), I began to craft offerings based on building modern skills for those of us who were working tirelessly in this pandemic - psychotherapists.
