Looking for Somatic and Holistic Support

 


When you’ve spent years trying to “fix” yourself, just being in your own body can feel heavy.

Sometimes it might even be unbearable.

It shows up in those quiet moments: catching your reflection and hearing the same critical thoughts on repeat.

Over time, your body learns to stay on alert, as if it’s always a problem that needs solving.

So your mind keeps asking:

✨ What’s wrong with my body?

✨ What do I need to change?

✨ Do I like how my body looks today?

That pattern is something your nervous system has learned to feel safe.

And when you try to slow down or be kinder to yourself, it can feel uncomfortable.

But what if nothing is wrong?

What if your body isn’t a project, but something to listen to?

At Life By Design Therapy™, we gently support the shift from criticism to curiosity, helping you build a sense of safety in your body, instead of constantly evaluating it.

Because real ease doesn’t come from fixing yourself.

It comes from feeling safe enough to just be.

Is your body tired of being a project and ready to be felt? 🌿

If you’re in California and you’re ready to help your nervous system find its way back to a place of peace, we’re here to support you.

Yet moments of joy and fulfillment that love is designed to provide as comfort are bits and pieces, sprinkled in with a fair amount of disappointment, resentment, and heartbreak. Relationships are so fundamental to a healthy life that we go to great lengths to make them work. You may compromise too much, or too little. You may have certain beliefs or habits that are so difficult to break free from and restrict you from having a strong bond with your partner. You may carry old wounds into a new relationship, and have trouble forgiving or loving yourself making it almost impossible to truly love another. You may have struggled to understand your needs and wants, and that indecision is leading to mixed signals for a lover that needs clarity and heal...

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.

Trauma Counseling in Richmond

Over time the wound starts to heal and it may not hurt as often, but a simple brush up against something can trigger that pain again. If we are lucky it fully heals, but a scar may remain.
