Feral Somatics
Kristy Johnsson
This is anti-therapy:
A place where your body's responses to our rapidly changing world become a portal into a natural intelligence and power innate to your being.
This is a place big enough to match the intensity of our times so we can reveal your true size.
This is a place where you remember your shameless wild self, both quiet and attentive, yet coursing with vitality, free from the shackles of empire.
Where do we start?
Bring your deepest heartbreak for what you see happening in the world or your greatest vision for our future. Break open your despair and burnout or your secret dreams. It's all welcome here.
What's a session like?
We often start with you sharing about what you'd like to dive into. I then guide you into noticing the intelligence of your body's response through intuitive prompts, questions, and directives. We'll notice the subconscious images, physical sensations, urges, desires, and thoughts and let them show us the truth trying to come through your system. I occasionally offer my own intuition, but I largely let your own knowing do the talking. This exploration involves deep listening and playful curiosity. We tend to do a lot of playing and laughing in these sessions.
Am I a good fit for this?
In our sessions, you'll develop a profound trust in your body through a gentle but radically honest facilitation process. This is for those who have done some therapy, mindfulness, meditation, or other embodiment practice, but struggle with what's happening in our world, and want to learn how to alchemize their pain witnessing unchecked corruption and collective suffering so it becomes personal and political liberation. It may be beyond your capacity if you're new to emotional work.
What about issues in my personal life? What if those come up in a session?
Personal issues will almost certainly emerge, which is perfect, because the intelligence that runs through your being will know exactly what needs to be addressed that day. So don't worry - we won't miss a thing.
How long is a session and what does it cost?
Individual sessions are $250USD for a 90 minute session via Zoom. Please reach out to schedule a free 30 minute consult call and we can go from there.
What's a session like?
Here's a taste of what's possible in a first session:
"Our session together was so special because I was really able to go so deeply into my emotional landscape around climate change with someone there not judging, not trying to make it better, just creating a safe space for me to experience and really encounter the emotions; getting outside permission and support to acknowledge and be with those emotions is something I have rarely come across. I appreciated having that space held in such a careful container.
I now feel such a sense of correctness when I connect with those emotions. It's so important we have these spaces and create the conditions for people to feel like they can explore emotions around climate change without getting overwhelmed and spiraling into depression as a result."
