In Nervous System Resilience sessions, we support the understanding of the nervous system state, and shepherd observable physio-emotional states using techniques from the Organic Intelligence® protocol (which includes elements from the wisdom of mindfulness and the science of self-organization). In this way, healing happens from the nervous system up and leads to more resiliency and capacity for what life brings.
Nervous System Resilience is beneficial for:
~ anxiety
~ parenting
~ depression
~ relationships
~ loss and grief
~ life transitions
~ pregnancy and childbirth
~ somatic and stress related disorders
~ upcoming surgery, medical or dental
~ feeling stuck anywhere or everywhere
~ living with a serious and/or chronic illness
~ healing from childhood neglect, abuse, abandonment
~ a desire to know yourself more deeply for any reason
~ problems or dissatisfaction with your job, work or career
~ aftereffects of a phsyical trauma such as a fall, motor vehicle accident or assault
WHAT IS ORGANIC INTELLIGENCE®?
“Organic Intelligence® (OI) is a unique theory and clinical practice of human empowerment, resiliency, and compassion to resolve the devastating effects of stress, trauma, and PTSD.
The Organic Intelligence (OI) clinical protocol suggests that, from a systems perspective, what’s wrong with therapy is the focus on what’s wrong — including the focus on trauma.
Organic Intelligence brings a necessary shift in perspective from pathology and trauma to the proven methods drawn from the wisdom of mindfulness and the science of self-organization. OI teaches how healing happens from the nervous system up and makes it possible to imagine freedom from suffering. Freedom from suffering becomes freedom for living an authentic, vibrant life in the here-and-now.
OI teaches therapists how to observe relevant client behaviors according to a very clear map. This mapping allows therapists to understand the nervous system state, and reveals what kind of intervention is most likely to support natural systemic reorganization.
Rather than providing insight per se, Organic Intelligence aims to shepherd observable physio-emotional states according to a protocol which aligns with subtle, but naturally occurring organismic trends toward increased coherence — the rhythm of an integrative biology. We employ a ‘shaping’ paradigm of positive reinforcement — a true paradigm shift in trauma therapy.
Organic Intelligence was developed by Steve Hoskinson, MA, MAT, who has trained thousands of practitioners and mentored trauma resolution instructors in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.”
