Rest is more than napping…

Rest is more than napping on the sofa.

Rest is anything that makes your nervous system feel safe enough for your stress response to switch off so your mind and body can recover and restore.

I think there’s something to this holistic approach. I feel I’ve gained as much from Body Talk (natural biofeedback loop, which helps to identify and prioritize the healing needs of the body) and Craniosacral Therapy (gentle touch that releases tensions in the central nervous system, which allow other systems in the body to relax and self-correct) as I have from individual/group therapy, EMDR and A Course in Miracles direction. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
