Cincinnati Ohio Therapy Practice Offers More Than Talk Therapy
As our team grows and our clinicians bring more expertise and wisdom to our team, I am constantly seeing and re-seeing our purpose and impact. A few weekends ago, I attended a workshop to explore ways to improve our work and business. Following a short conversation with one of the presenters, the following information came to me.
In a world where talk therapy can sometimes fall short, where the skills learned in traditional therapy may not translate to your daily life, and where the healing power of art, movement, and nature resonates with you, there's a place for you: Rooted Compassion Counseling and Consulting.
At Rooted Compassion, we delve deeper, understanding the intricate science of your brain and nervous system.
We recognize that the part of your brain that engages in verbal communication is a world apart from the one where deep emotions and trauma reside.
Here’s what we know:
Emotions and feelings, those silent narratives that shape our lives, often manifest as physical sensations. The sensations can include
a grip in your stomach,
a racing heart,
tense muscles,
or a lump in the throat.
From these bodily signals, our brains create stories such as
“something is wrong with me,”
“they are incompetent,”
“the world is not safe and I must fight,”
or “everyone is out to get me.”
Trauma, with its enduring scars, becomes ingrained in our very bodies.
This can result in the ongoing presence of stress hormones, changes in brain functioning, a failure of declarative memory, living in a hyper vigilant state, low energy, headaches, upset stomach, rapid heartbeat, and more. It is vital to address these manifestations of trauma to restore balance and well-being.
Here is where we stand apart, where our story meets yours:
We invite you to our office, with a lush park next-door, for walk and talk therapy, if you choose, where nature itself becomes a part of the healing process.
We are not just here to prescribe skills and activities; we’re here to guide you in discovering what truly works for you, practicing these skills with you and helping you identify the results for you.
We embrace movement, large and small, because the body's language is expressed through motion.
We unleash the power of expressive arts – writing, drawing, collaging, embodiment, and more – as gateways to the depth of your pain and resiliency.
We utilize powerful trauma processing techniques like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), somatic and nervous system focused counseling and drama therapy to liberate and heal the pain held within.
Imagine the outcome:
a life free from reactivity and drama,
a life where you can authentically be yourself,
a life where ease is your everyday companion.
This is the story we are ready to help you write, the story of healing, transformation, and the journey to become rooted in your true self.
Rooted Compassion Counseling – your story of liberation, of embracing the life you desire, begins here.
