The Listening Tank
Somatic Work
with Ash Sroka
Deep, gentle and lasting support
for your brilliant nervous system
*** ALL CURRENT SESSIONS WILL BE DONE VIRTUALLY BY VIDEO CALL OR BY PHONE***
Please feel free to reach out for the support you need. Due to the current state of the world, please let me know if you need a sliding scale. I want to support you however I can.
Whether you're addressing an acute or long standing trauma, sessions will support a lasting and meaningful healing for your physical, mental and spiritual bodies in a safe, nurturing environment, meeting you exactly where you are.
WHAT IS TRAUMA?
When something is too much, too soon, or too fast for our nervous system to be able to process in real time, our bodies fill with cortisol, adrenaline and other chemicals that are meant to be discharged but often don't have the space or time to do so. This becomes trauma-bound energy that our bodies can hold onto in order to survive in the moment. Because our nervous systems don't register time, they sometimes get stuck reacting to past trauma as if it's happening NOW, which prevents us from living with the freedom and joy we are meant to have. Our bodies are brilliant. They are always talking to us. I believe everyone's body has an innate healing map that can lead it back to the balance and vibrancy it craves. Sometimes, we need support to be able to listen and allow our bodies to discharge (release) trauma-bound energy. Somatic work assists in this release and in doing so, guiding the body back to the balance, health, and vibrancy of the present moment.
WHAT KIND OF TRAUMA
DO YOU WORK WITH?
I work gently and safely with trauma related to physical abuse, sexual abuse, car or other accidents, falls or injuries, medical trauma, birth trauma, childhood trauma, anxiety, hospitalizations and surgeries (pre- and post-op), and also general feelings of anything needing attention and healing. I work in a titrated (purposefully measured) way to allow your body to experience the safety and containment needed to heal. I specialize in 12-step recovery and supporting you in having a deeper connection with your body and your intuitive wisdom of knowing.
