Inner Work and various practices can often be used to try to avoid, transcend or “fix” our feelings.

When we are willing to feel our emotions, reactions, and sensations in the body, we are able to process and move forward. Not by forcing them, but inviting them and allowing our system to work with them in a way it can naturally handle. 

Inner Reconciliation is a very effective process for working with and resolving inner conflict, which is a key element to most of our struggles. Example: Part of us wants to move forward to a new goal, part of us wants to stay where we are most familiar, and so on.

I am the only senior facilitator of IR, having studied directly with the creator, teach part of the homestudy course, and helped teach current facilitators. 

Whatever is happening within you, you will find there is a reason for it. When we respect the sophistication of the body / mind / nervous system, we can begin  listening and working with it. 

Respect also includes my respect for whatever you are going through, history, and preferences for how you like to work.

Emotional Freedom Technique or tapping is something I love to use, as it is very powerful in helping the body and nervous system process emotion, energy and provide a sense of calm and stability. 

It is also shown that engaging the body is valuable, if not absolutely essential, in helping heal trauma. 

It is easy to judge ourselves, or the thoughts and feelings that arise around different subjects in our lives. When we can give them permission to be seen without rejection and judgement, amazing things can happen. 

My job is to help facilitate this by creating a non-judgemental environment for whatever comes up for you, in whatever honest form it takes.
