Trained to listen to the body’s rhythms to help identify the locations of trapped energy from force of impact traumas or intense emotional experiences, advanced craniosacral therapists may guide the client on an inner dialogue or negotiation to more deeply integrate the various needs, fears and desires of the individual person so that the excess energy can be released. Everything is done at the client’s own pace, no directions or advice are given, and no judgements are made. The therapist is there as a facilitator, not a counselor. These Somato-Emotional Release sessions can complement mental health care and help break down somatic barriers to psychological wellness, as well as psychological barriers to body wellness.
