All of the ISMS, abuse, illness/pain, loss, grief, shame, and feeling disconnected and unworthy can feel so painful and isolating. The services I offer are focused on healing the whole mind and body. You will learn how to calm your nervous system and develop an embodied awareness of the strategies you developed as protection against further harm (fight, flight, freeze, fawn). Together we can reprocess and reconsolidate painful memories. My ideal client is open-minded, committed to bi-weekly appointments, and understands that healing involves engaging in calming & healing exercises between appointments.

Science shows that the whole person (mind, body, spirit) is impacted by trauma. The "bottom-up" approaches I use include healing relational trauma (attachment theory); unburdening protective "parts" (ego state, IFS etc); releasing trauma from the body (somatic psychology), calming the nervous system (Polyvagal Theory), and reprocessing trauma (EMDR).

My aim is to provide you with a secure, safe, connected, experience that is conducive to healing. I really would like you to believe that you are a loveable worthy human deserving of peace, and healthy relationships. My approach is rooted in an intersectional feminist, anti-oppressive, queer affirming lens, that is dissociation and trauma focused.

Parts Mapping to Cultivate Intimacy with Self

Hosted by

Gisele Harrison

Participants are provided guidance in developing a map of the parts that make up their personality system. Identifying and cultivating intimacy with our system of parts can be a powerful step toward liberation from suffering. Parts mapping can be a means to truly understand how we protect ourselves and what each part of us needs at various times of the day. Cultivating intimacy with our internal world can help us to learn what calming or grounding skills in the midst of activation or shortly thereafter. Please go to the Dissociation page on my website for more information.
