Methodology

Core Development works with somatic process, which acknowledges the unity of mind, body, emotions and spirit. It draws on the principles and understanding of somatic psychotherapy, structural dynamics, and my own personal therapy and life experience. It is a learning not a clinical process.

The methods used vary from just talking to sessions that may include role-play, bodywork, biodynamic massage, visualisation, breathing techniques and other methods depending on your particular needs.

Core Development is :

EXPERIENTIAL

I encourage you to discover the truth for yourself through your own direct experiencing.

You may know something intellectually yet be unable to put it into practice. Experiential learning, on the other hand, enables you to put your understanding into practice to change your life.

SOMATIC : Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit

We focus on the depth and authenticity of your inner contact”, i.e. your relationship with all aspects of yourself – your feelings, thoughts, beliefs and bodily sensations; and your “outer contact” – i.e. your relationships with other people and with your environment.

RECONNECTING

We aim to re-establish your connection with your biological pulsation – your core pulsation, which is the source of your feelings of security, joy and wholeness.

Disconnection from this pulsation, which happens when you are traumatised or feel unsafe, interrupts the flow of life-force in your body. This affects your health, and leads you to seek satisfaction by manipulating your environment.

Reconnection with your core gives you back your feelings of joy, connectedness and wholeness. As noted above, sometimes talking is enough, other times bodywork is also required to achieve this.

When you reconnect with your healthy pulsation, nobody needs to tell you that you are the source of your own wellbeing. You know it because you feel it,  you experience it directly. You also experience more fully your connection with others and with your environment.

In reconnecting with your core, a natural balance emerges connecting feelings with purpose.
