Hey Friends,
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Taren, and I am an intuitive guide here to walk alongside you on your journey into healing.
I am a trauma-trained and certified Practitioner of Somatic Trauma and Attachment Therapy, Ceremonial Breathwork Guide and Facilitator of Equine Guided Empowerment (with over 400 hrs of training logged).
I work with anyone who is looking to build safety in their bodies, cultivate resilience in their minds, and reclaim agency in their lives.
My work is catered to individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including relational, religious trauma, developmental, or attachment-related issues; childhood trauma, loss/grief, abuse survivors, individuals with attachment difficulties, or anyone seeking to heal from the physical and emotional impacts of past experiences. My work helps clients reconnect with their bodies, process unresolved trauma, and develop healthier relational patterns now and into the future.
What Is Somatic Trauma Therapy?
Somatic therapy, at its core, is a holistic approach that focuses on the interconnectedness of the mind and body in the healing process. Trauma it's not just a mental event; it affects our physical self as well. Somatic therapy recognizes that trauma can manifest in various ways, including physical tension, chronic pain, dissociation, and sense of disconnect.
Somatic Trauma Therapy focuses on healing trauma by integrating the body's physical experiences with psychological healing. It acknowledges that traumatic experiences, if not released appropriately, are stored in the body, leading to various physical sensations, behaviors, and emotional responses. By reconnecting with our body we are able to reclaim agency over our whole selves, while building capacity for emotional regulation, and cultivating embodied presence.
Somatic therapy can also be beneficial for other concerns, such as stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, body image issues, and relational difficulties. By focusing on the mind-body connection, somatic therapy helps to develop greater self-awareness, regulate emotions, and cultivate a deeper sense of well-being, regardless of whether trauma is present.
What Is Somatic Attachment Therapy?
Attachment therapy centers on the dynamics of attachment and relationships in the healing process. It acknowledges that our early experiences with caregivers (including experiences in utero) can shape our patterns of relating to others into our adult lives and that disruption/rupture in early attachment bonds can lead to difficulties in forming and maintaining healthy relationships.
Somatic Attachment Therapy integrates somatic awareness into the process, through mindfulness, breathwork, and body-oriented techniques, recognizing the embodiment of attachment experiences. By exploring the ways in which the body holds and processes emotional experiences, somatic attachment therapy aims to address both the psychological and somatic dimensions of attachment disruptions.
Attachment therapy addresses concerns including relationship issues, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and communication skills.
