Mind-body work (nervous system work) focuses on the part of the brain that is responsible for emotions, responsible for sorting information, regulating hormones, and is the brain's alert system. Stress, worry, and trauma from a chronic illness can alter the brain's function and can get stuck in a state of constant stress, which in turn causes emotions such as fear and anxiety as well as unwanted symptoms such as pain, fatigue, dizziness, and much more.

 

The healing process of mind-body work requires us to get to know ourselves inside and out. When we begin to learn more about ourselves and how we manage our symptoms, it's helpful to understand how our brain processes our thoughts and emotions. We think an average of around 60,000 thoughts per day, with 95% of them being run by the subconscious part of the brain. We store all our emotional information here, such as the emotions we associate with trauma and pain, our fears, anxieties and insecurities. Because the subconscious mind directs the vast majority of our thinking and our emotions, we must learn to tap into the subconsious in order to begin the real healing.

Mind-body work helps remove any barriers for the healing process, and lets you take an active role in your healing once and for all.
