Holistic and Somatic Therapists in Berkeley

 


When anxiety hits in the moment, it can feel overwhelming, like your body has taken over before your mind even has a chance to catch up.

That’s why I’ve found it helpful to have a few simple practices I can turn to right away.

🌿 Grounding brings me back into the present, reminding me that I don’t have to live in the past or the “what ifs” of the future.

🌿 Gentle movement, like stretching or walking, helps release the tension my body holds onto when I’m anxious.

🌿 Breathwork slows my heart rate and gives my brain a clear signal: “It’s safe to settle.”

🌿 Soothing touch, even something as simple as placing a hand over my heart, creates a sense of comfort and safety in my body.

These aren’t about making anxiety disappear instantly, but about reminding your nervous system that you don’t have to stay stuck in high alert.

One of the most powerful supports for me has been therapy, especially body-based therapy.

At Life By Design Therapy™, our therapists specialize in helping you reconnect with your body, calm your nervous system, and find relief that goes deeper than just managing symptoms. Book a call with us to learn more!

Society is escalating at an insane, never before seen pace. We naturally feel like we need to be on the move, and constantly in action. But is that really the natural way of doing things? Life is a challenge when you lack safe and supportive relationships. It’s easy to isolate and feel like you have to figure everything out on your own. You are hesitant to burden the people around you, so instead you suffer in silence. Life by Design Therapy  supports this understanding through  holistic  and  somatic psychotherapy .

LGBT Therapy in Richmond

LGBT Pride Month, observed in June, is celebrated around the U.S. with parades and activism events. At the same time, many people do not know Pride Month’s origin, which honors the 1969 Stonewall riots — a demonstration which blazed the trail for activists across the country. In 1970, the first Gay Pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There has been a lot of progress since then, but LGBT advocates are still working toward a future without discrimination in the workplace and beyond. Here are some powerful quotes from changemakers who are have contributed to the movement for LGBT equality: “Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it’s a good place to start.” — Jason Collins, first openly gay athlete in U.S. pro sports “When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.” — Barack Obama If you need support, contact us today for therapy in   Berkeley and Richmond www.lifebyde...
