Charlotte’s aim is to get you where you want to be as soon as possible. To do this she will ask you to complete and return a form before your session takes place. You’ll typically only need to see her 1-4 times maximum in most cases. Each session will last 90-120 minutes.
Follow up ‘maintenance’ sessions are typically 60 minutes and are available as you require them for more long term support and guidance.
Somatic Coaching
In 2014, Dutch psychiatrist Dr Bessel van der Kolk released The Body Keeps the Score that both confirmed and introduced a new theory to the masses: experiencing trauma severs the connection between the mind; the mind wants to forget what happened, but the body is unable to.
This idea that psychological trauma moulds a body that gets stuck in fight, flight and freeze mode has since drawn the interest of more people than Dr van der Kolk ever expected.
It should come as little surprise that there’s a growing interest in how to relieve or release this trapped trauma.
Somatic coaching consists of a variety of gentle movements that are designed to help move trapped stress, tension and unhelpful energy from the body.
There is a growing list of effective therapies out there but these are some of the most common body oriented therapies available globally: Trauma Release Exercise (TRE®), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Somatic Practise (SP), Neurosensory Practices, Trauma Informed Movement, Body Work, Tapping & Breath Work.
Finding a practitioner to help guide you to one that suits you can be a safe way to enter into these therapies. Charlotte’s services include TRE®, Trauma Informed Movement, Body Work via The Roll Model Method®, Tapping and Neurosensory Practices.
TRE® stands for Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises.
TRE® is a revolutionary self-care technique created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD and invokes your body’s natural shaking & tremoring reflex to release stress, rebalance the nervous system and restore your body & mind towards its optimal state of health & wellbeing.
While most people initially learn TRE for stress relief or trauma recovery, ongoing use of TRE can help to increase creativity, build your resilience, deepen embodiment, quicken recovery, enhance relationships and improve your performance at work & in sport.
TRE is beneficial for all ages.
Once you learn TRE you can use it on an ongoing & regular basis simply lying in bed each night in as little as 10 minutes, making it the perfect technique to use when you don’t want to talk about it or are ‘too stressed’ to use more effort based techniques such as meditation or exercise.
TRE® is a simple set of exercise that allow your body to activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking/vibrating that releases muscle tension and calms the nervous system. This helps to release trapped energy built up from stress & trauma.
“Letting go is not for the purpose of forgetting or forgiving the past, it is about releasing the energy of the past to give us back our lives in the present which is necessary to deliver us into a new future” Dr David Berceli
During a TRE® session you are guided through gentle exercises & techniques in a safe & supported environment.
The session also incorporates learning more about your nervous system with teachings in grounding & self regulation techniques.
The amount of sessions needed before you can confidently and safely do TRE® on your own is approximately 3-4 sessions but this will vary between individuals.
You will eventually take these techniques to use as a regular self-care stress/tension/trauma reduction practise at home.
Once you have had a 1:1 or in person group session with me you are also welcome to join me for regular online classes.
