INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Advance clients are able to resolve deep-rooted challenges and gain deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships because they are not only using their insight, memories, logic, feelings and emotions, but also their bodies. Here at Advance, we believe that there is an inner intelligence and wisdom to our internal make up, and often the key to shifts in our lives is held in working with all parts of ourselves, with all of our resources, held in both mind and body. This integrative approach is based on extensive research in the fields of neuroscience, trauma and attachment.
Therefore, in addition to traditional talk therapy, we offer our clients to listen to their bodies to broaden their understanding of themselves. Have you ever noticed how your body experiences joy, or stress, or anger? Unfortunately, in our busy daily lives we often can’t to stop to listen to what happens inside; we might just feel tired, tense or numb. But if we do bring attention to our bodies, they will reveal to us who we are, tell us what we like and alert us of our dislikes; this is because they store all of our experiences and emotions, negative and positive. As human beings, we know what we know, so to step out of our patterns, we need to have a new experience. Working with the body allows us to do just that in a way that makes our true selves come out even more.
At the same time, working with the body can sound scary and overwhelming; that’s why we always take a collaborative stance in our work with clients to ensure that therapeutic approach and process are tailored to their preferences, needs, values and goals.
