Pain
The latest understandings of pain science and neuroplasticity underpin BCST and Somatic Therapy. Practitioners work to create the feeling of safety that is required for a client's pain experience to change. Chronic pain can change with education, down regulation of the fight or flight response and with 'feeding' new, safe information to the brain through therapeutic touch.
Trauma
Experiences that are too overwhelming or traumatic to cope with can remain in your system, locking your body in a ‘fight or flight’ state. The long term effects of this unresolved trauma can include feelings of dissociation, stress and hyper vigilance and can lead to illness and disease. BCST and Somatic Therapy works particularly well with trauma by gently facilitating your body and brain to resolve held experiences without the need to revisit the original traumatic incident.
