Holistic Approaches to Mind-Body Healing in San Diego
expressing your emotional pain

Is Your Body Expressing Your Emotional Pain?

  • Are you experiencing physical symptoms that you know are the result of your emotional stress and distress?
  • Are you experiencing stiffness, tightness, numbness, or pain in your body?
  • Do you experience an inability to consistently calm your nervous system?
  • Are you having difficulties with digestion, sleep, fatigue, agitation, or just a sense that your body is overly taxed.
  • Are you struggling to know how to move your emotions through your body in order to calm down, even though you may rationally understand your struggles.

Integrative Body Therapy Can Help

  • While your integrative psychotherapist listens to the stories you tell with your words, your integrative acupuncturist listens to the messages told by your body.
  • Integrative body therapy attunes to the body-based symptoms associated with mental health struggles.
  • This treatment supports the healing process of psychotherapy by helping you to release and move emotions through physiologically.
  • Your integrative acupuncturist is skilled in a wide variety of body-based approaches and will use a series of methods to better understand how your body has been impacted by your stress and distress and will create a plan to effectively treat these needs.
  • You can expect a nurturing environment that will help you to relax and engage the part of your nervous system (parasympathetic) that is designed to help you rest and digest.

Create Wellbeing Integrative Model

At Create Wellbeing we apply our care model to all of our offerings. This process intersects collaboratively across disciplines for you to experience healing in a manner that is beautifully interwoven and effective.

Within Integrative Body Therapy we:

CALM the distress as it is expressed through your body
This is always a key part of all of your integrative body therapy sessions, as this is a sacred space for your body to rest and restore. This happens so that you can receive care via the ancient practices of Chinese medicine that are strategically linked with current research in neurobiology.

ENGAGE your whole self
Within the context of integrative body therapy, this stage of care is designed to help you be present with your whole self safely and comfortably. This means that your body is able to relax and that physical difficulties throughout your body are being addressed through targeted treatments and practices in order to help you begin to integrate within your body, such that you consistently move through your daily routines with increased fluidity.

INTEGRATE healing in to your life
It is essential that the healing that you receive in integrative body therapy become sustainable. This is the phase where there is focused care to make sure that you are able to notice and respond to the nuances of your own body throughout your day. We also lean in more deeply to move through emotional pain that is activated in your body, responding gently and consistently with practices that release tension and embody mindful awareness.
