SOMATIC AND INTUITIVE COACHING FOR CLIMATE TRAUMA
Trauma shows up in the body as self-protective contractions. Trauma results from accidents, assaults, medical interventions, neglect, physical, emotional or sexual abuse, oppression (such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, etc.), or exposure to the trauma of others.
I support clients to transform trauma where it begins—in the body and brain. The trauma healing journey is a path from contraction to fluidity. Healing trauma means softening contractions and restoring fluidity to the body so that energy and emotions can move through us with ease.
Unwinding contractions can mean facing and feeling unbearable discomfort. Because this is difficult, we tend to distract ourselves from the intense sensations by falling into familiar patterns of dissociation, overwhelm, running, fighting, freezing, or caretaking.
As your somatic educator and ally, my job is to stay by your side as you gradually learn to tolerate what scares you. I have a wealth of tools to help you face your discomfort with increasing confidence. I will cheer you on as you gradually reclaim your birthright of aliveness, resilience and creativity.
Dr. Tarakali’s trauma work is informed by her personal healing journey, as well as decades of work with survivors of sexual assault, child sexual abuse, domestic violence and LGBTQ hate violence; extensive training with generative somatics (generativesomatics.org) and Denise Benson since 2006; and other trauma healing approaches, including Capacitar (capacitar.org), Trauma Stewardship, and restorative yoga.
