Soma-Psych Alignment
SPA is a trauma-based psychosomatic therapy which combines muscle response testing, light hypnotherapy or meditation and energy-balancing techniques.
It works on the principle that the client doesn’t need to share or relive the trauma verbally - they can allow their physical body to communicate instead.
This enables release in a way that is content-free.
SPA has a clear structure that incorporates many of the tried and tested frameworks employed by many successful therapies.
A want and desire for change
Checking for secondary gain
Creating a safe space for healing to occur.
SPA also allows for flexibility, intuition and a variety of holistic tools can be incorporated into the session.
SPA sessions start with the completion of a client information form, which is the basis of the sessions.
When you arrive, we will spend 10-15 minutes going through the form, your expectations and desired outcomes.
The rest of the session is completed on a therapy bed, allowing the body to do the talking. Clients often find this refreshingly freeing. They do not need to articulate, engage or discuss; they can simply be - relaxed and held in a space to allow the stuckness of the past to be released.
