Mind-Body Wellness - Somatics
Dr. Wendy Raskey, serving California and Idaho, offers a holistic approach to mind-body wellness, integrating somatic treatments to enhance the mind-body connection. Through these sessions, clients can cultivate a deeper understanding of how their thoughts and emotions influence their physical well-being. By incorporating somatic practices, individuals can develop skills to improve overall health. Dr. Raskey's somatic treatments aims to empower clients to take an active role in their well-being, promoting a sense of balance and harmony between the mind and body.
Mind/Body Connection
Somatic treatment encourages the opening of pathways to healing that can be used for trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
By incorporating somatic practices, Dr. Raskey helps individuals explore feelings and sensations in the body to recognize, understand, and connect to deeply painful or pleasurable present and past experiences.
How It Works:
Through developing awareness of the mind-body connection and using specific interventions, Dr. Raskey helps the individual deal with tension, anger, sadness, racing thoughts, poor attention, frustration, and other emotions from life events. The goal is a calm and centered home base in the body.
Dr. Raskey uses methods such as mindfulness, breathwork, nervous system stabilization and regulation, or grounding, in addition to the awareness of one’s muscles, posture, gesture, and mood. As with all therapies, somatic therapy may be emotionally difficult and is used with the consent of the client. Dr. Raskey is aware that oftentimes clients are most comfortable with talking in the beginning of treatment; therefore, empathy and understanding is cornerstone in practice.
Dr. Wendy Raskey can help you get past life changes like a new job, a death in the family, or a divorce.
