I'm hosting a free 60-minute live (and recorded) Detox Masterclass on Tuesday, September 8 on how to actually address your underlying terrain. If you want the full framework I use with clients, save your spot here.
Two weeks ago, I published a piece with 15 free mental health tools and mentioned at the end that I share a much fuller mental, emotional, and spiritual master list with my 1:1 clients.
Several of you wrote in asking about specific parts of that list.
The full master list covers eight categories: somatic and nervous system work, parts work, trauma processing (EMDR, brainspotting, IFS, and related), cognitive and skills-based therapy, coaching containers, spiritual study and practice, brain-based and clinical interventions (neurofeedback, TMS, ketamine-assisted therapy), and psychedelic and plant medicine work.
That’s the shape of the full picture.
Today, I want to go deep on just one category: the body-based modalities.
And, you may ask, why did I choose this category?
Talk therapy is powerful. For many people, it’s foundational. But, there’s a specific population I see often in my practice — high-performing, intellectually driven, cognitively over-developed (like me!) — who have already processed their story in words many times over.
They can articulate their trauma, they understand their patterns, and they know why they are the way they are. And, they are still…well…stuck.
Therapy didn’t necessarily fail them, but the next layer of healing is not more insight.
It’s EMBODIMENT.
It’s FEELING.
It’s the body finally being invited into the room the mind has been running for years.
If that description lands for you, then this piece is for you.
Here are the 12 body-based modalities I recommend most often to clients in this position, organized loosely from “start here on your own” to “requires a trained practitioner”. All of them address what talk therapy on its own often cannot.
Full masterclass on the terrain framework itself is coming Tuesday, September 8 — free 60 minutes, recorded, available for 48 hours. Save your spot.
