Emotional Disorders

What are Emotional Disorders?

We tend to think that emotional disorders are limited to conditions such as bipolar disorder, depression, shyness, anxiety, and phobias.  BodyTalk recognizes that the emotions can also have an effect on all the body’s systems. Habitual stress and chronic overwhelm can result in feelings of anger, powerlessness, or despair, eventually resulting in such conditions as inflammation, abnormal cell growth, or high blood pressure.  Your body’s chemical levels fluctuate depending on your emotional state: healing results from love and trust, causing cell expansion, whereas disease results from hate, stress and anger; causing cell contraction.

How does BodyTalk resolve emotional stress?

BodyTalk recognizes the interrelatedness of body/mind/spirit by retrieving information from emotions, consciousness, and physiology.  A frozen shoulder can store an unresolved hurt from a relationship (emotion), the burden of responsibility (consciousness), and the spasms in the intricate muscles surrounding the joint (physiology).

Using a technique called Active Memory, a BodyTalk practitioner works with the body to disassociate, neutralize, and unhook emotions stored in the connective tissue.  The emotions are retrieved through neuromuscular feedback to bring them out of the tissue, then are sent downward toward the intestines to be “digested,” and processed.  Because talk therapy is not the focus of an Active Memory or Belief System session, even painful emotional traumas and phobias can be dealth with comfortably by the client.
