What we want you to experience at Body Mind Equation is the living felt sense of triumph.  What we mean by triumph is that fist-in-the-air, victorious squeal (or guttural holler), leap-in-the-air sense of accomplishment.  Maybe that seems really far-fetched and excessive, but I’m willing to be you can probably get some sense of that in your body as it’s been described here, right?  Great.  So that’s what we aim for here at Body Mind Equation, and we often (but not always…each client is different) use an integration of some form of appropriately challenging movement and somatic psychotherapy to help you build that sense of triumph in your body.  Often times people come to therapy because they do not have a coded and stored sense of “FUCK YEAH” in themselves, and if they do, they’ve beaten it to a pulp with guilt, self-doubt, minimization, and criticism…so then what’s the point?  That’s where the therapy comes in.  When the inner critic wants to derail your triumph, we encounter it, transform it, and get it on board (or at least quieter and more out of the way) towards building more and more experiences of lived triumph.
Through these appropriately challenging movements, we build a …bank account?  a storage unit? a what??…. of stored and coded lived experiences that translate to “FUCK YEAH, I CAN do this….OR that….OR BOTH!”  Having those accumulated lived experiences literally rewires our brains with an anchor point in our memories and in our bodies to lean back on, learn to trust, and pull from to help us make healthier, more confident, and more aligned decisions in our every day lives.
