Both harm and healing happen through relationship. Many of us have adapted to find safety in ways that are no longer useful for how we want to relate. This may manifest as pushing someone away when we really desire to be close, or over-giving and losing a sense of our own needs and boundaries. Many of us have not been taught how to communicate in ways that are supportive of our relationships, or how to navigate conflict in ways that are generative.
By working in a body-based way, we can start to identify how we have adapted for safety, belonging, and dignity. Some of these ways are still helpful, and some are now in the way of us having happier relationships.
This package of body-based coaching sessions is designed for you and your partner to get to know your own safety shaping better, and to know the other person's. We will build foundational skills and shared practices that can be used during times of stress and conflict. We can also work with practices around giving and receiving love, being present with yourself and another at the same time, having a range of boundaries, and communicating wants and needs in ways that are mutually beneficial.
