(Pyscho) Somatic Therapy with Rosen Method (also known as mind-body and bodywork) is a gentle, hands-on approach to help people reconnect with themselves on a deeper level. Through light touch and simple conversation, it brings awareness to places in the body where emotions and tension have been unconsciously held. It gently unravels the places where the body has tucked away old stories, unspoken emotions, and forgotten tensions. As the muscles soften, so do the parts of us we didn’t know we were wearing, revealing a quiet awareness of who we truly really are. The relaxed breathing helps you release the layers of stress and old patterns, opening up to possibility to sense ease, and allowing you to process your feelings in a safe environment. The body stores memories of all our experiences, and through out life, the conscious experiences are stored unconsciously; that too, needs its´ own hygienic practices by awareness, breathe -and release-work.
The sessions are relevant for those who have trouble reseting nervous vagus system (read more below), relaxing and breathing with regular massage, yoga or meditation, or for those looking for complementary support in recovering from chronic-stress and emotional trauma. In my sessions, I see individuals´ needs and guide the sessions accordingly.

VAGUS NERVOUS SYSTEM
When people experience chronic stress, their body’s fight-or-flight system stays activated, driving cortisol levels up and continually triggering the sympathetic nervous system. This part of the nervous system reacts to stress with rapid, shallow breathing, constricted blood vessels, and an elevated heart rate. This nerve runs from the brain through the face, neck, and down to the abdomen and digestive organs. The vagus nerve is responsible in bringing balance between your stress response (the sympathetic nervous system) and your healing response (the parasympathetic).
If you often feel restless, hyper-alert, or like your heart is about to leap out of your chest, it’s likely that ongoing stress has left you “stuck” in sympathetic overdrive. To break free from this state, you need to support your body with activating the parasympathetic nervous system, the area which is responsible for emotional resilience, recovery, and healing after stress.
One of the most effective ways to deactivate the stress response and engage the parasympathetic system is to stimulate the vagus nerve through deep breathing (and if necessary, emotional release through the body) in a (relational) safe and neutral environment.
