BODYMIND INTEGRATION

BODYMIND INTEGRATION

Linda Baird, M.A.

Certified Hakomi Therapist

Have you ever felt that you aren’t living up to your full
potential, and that there is something blocking you?

Are you depressed or anxious and not sure why?

Do you have physical symptoms such as headaches, insomnia,
or tight muscles that don’t seem to go away with traditional treatments
or medications, or a chronic illness such as fibromyalgia?

Do you suffer from low self-esteem or lack of self worth?

Are relationships difficult and unfulfilling?

Our belief systems learned in childhood, as well as traumas that occur at any point in life, live in the body, often below the level of conscious awareness. Unconscious beliefs and unprocessed trauma can show up as chronic tensions and stiffness, nervous system disorders, anxiety, depression, nightmares, chronic illness, low self-esteem and various inabilities to function at full capacity. Physical symptoms are often signals that something is wrong on a deeper level. Traditional “talk” therapies and medication are often either partially effective or only treat symptoms. The whole person and root causes are not addressed, and people do not fully heal as a result.

BodyMind Integration offers a compassionate approach to psychotherapy that works through the body to bring unconscious information into awareness, facilitating deep and lasting changes. In mindful awareness, therapist and client create a safe healing environment. Change is supported and encouraged without force, and the inherent wisdom of the client is honored.

Techniques used incorporate movement, Hakomi methods for working with trauma, shame, anger, boundaries, and developmental wounds, psychodrama, emotional processing, and inner child work, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and methods in yoga therapy including breathwork and supported postures to instill the joyful expression of the authentic self.

“...with her non-invasive, honest approach, Linda creates an environment where I can integrate and heal. She authentically and clearly guides me to touch even the most difficult aspects of my life, and brings a rare ability to genuinely transform these experiences into fodder for my personal expansion. I always feel safe and respected by her, and our work together has given new meaning to my entire life. Linda draws from many different perspectives, and I have been especially moved by her holism. She can affect body, mind, and spirit, giving great insight into our many realms of experience and consciousness. I am also inspired by how much our work together has graced me with new abilities to support my own well-being.” -LWJ
