Hello,

My name is Adina Nistor, Registered Psychotherapist

I can help you heal from negative emotions and negative thought patterns, by using Somatic Therapy in conjunction with Mindfulness and Relational Psychodynamic methods.

The goal of somatic therapy is to return to our true sense of Self, and live life from that place. |t is a process that requires the courage to step into the depths of undesired emotions and feelings, instead of running and turning away from them. Facings our worst fears can be a liberating experience, and that can result in living life fuller and feeling more confident in the self and gut feelings.

I believe that opening up about our struggles sheds light on the things that have always remained hidden and is the first step to healing our minds and bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Somatic Therapy involve?

Somatic Therapy is a body-centered approach that helps release pent-up tensions and emotions. This release is achieved by attuning to the body in a neutral and non-judgmental manner, focusing on the present moment.
What steps are involved in somatic healing?

The somatic therapy I practice is called CRM, developed by Lisa Schwarz: https://comprehensiveresourcemodel.com/lisa-schwarz/. The process involves focusing on body sensations that hold painful emotions and those that hold feelings of security, peace, and love. Techniques used to strengthen the nervous system and reach the root of painful emotions include: - Breathing techniques - Sound-toning - Attachment attunement behaviors with an imaginary animal or Spiritual Being - Brainspotting (using eye positions to improve focus) - Sacred Geometry - Attunement to nature (Sacred place)
What is the typical duration of therapy?

The duration of therapy varies from person to person, with no specific time frame for change. Factors influencing therapy length include: - The therapeutic goal - Generational history - Childhood history - Your current environment - Presence or absence of traumatic experiences - How emotions are generally processed - Adherence to the therapeutic approach
How does somatic therapy differ from traditional talk therapy?

Somatic therapy acknowledges that merely understanding the origins of emotions is insufficient to change our feelings and reactions. It involves a deeper process to alter the automatic and reflexive responses of the nervous system, helping to undo unwanted conditioned responses and relieve the body of resentment and pain from life disappointments.

I use a wholesome deep processing approach that can reduce your anxiety and emotional pain.

If you have been feeling stuck, its because you haven’t learned the language of your nervous system yet, and knowing it is key to healing yourself.

I can help you find the root cause of your suffering and put and end to it for good
