Tao of Trauma

Chelsea Sciabarrasi practices a gentle healing method inspired by the teachings of Aliane Duncan, a licensed acupuncturist and somatic experiencing practitioner. Tao of Trauma uses somatic techniques, which focus on bodily sensations and experiences, rather than verbal recounting of traumatic events. This approach allows clients to engage with their physical sensations in a safe and supportive environment. Practitioners use gentle touch and mindfulness to help clients navigate their feelings and restore balance within their nervous systems.

Session Structure and Goals

Sessions are tailored to individual needs and prioritize client autonomy. They involve establishing consent, exploring bodily sensations, and gradually expanding the client's capacity to manage stress. The goal is to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, complete interrupted self-protective responses, and cultivate resilience and self-awareness. This holistic approach not only aims to alleviate symptoms but also fosters personal growth, secure attachments, and self-care practices.
