“The price of admission to a trauma-sensitive class is not self-love. All parts are welcomed in an embodied way.” 

 

What is it? 

​

Trauma-sensitive yoga is a body based clinical intervention for complex trauma. It is a great treatment option for what often gets termed ‘treatment resistant’ trauma disorders. 

​

What can TCTSY do for me?

• leads to faster symptom improvement and similarly sustained results when compared to other talk therapies.

• has a 42.6% higher treatment completion rate than traditional talk therapies.

• shows a reduction in flashback/re-experiencing symptoms of 33% over 10 weeks.

 

What does it involve? 

​

No mandatory talk component 
If talking about your trauma is triggering or unhelpful, TSY could be for you. Reflection/processing of the experience of the session itself is invited, but not required.

​

Encourages choice and agency
Trauma shuts down your ability to choose what happens to you. TSY invites you to make active choices about your body. 

​

Interoception 
Trauma often causes disconnection from the body. Where your body can be a difficult place to be, TSY encourages titrated, low dosage interoception: an invitation to explore being in your body in a safe and choice led way. 

​

Shared authentic experience

Relational trauma takes place in the context of safe relationship. The TCTSY model is non-coercive, attuned, and authentic.

Here's what people are saying about working with me:

​

“Emily is phenomenally tuned in to her clients, their needs and their pain. That is what makes a journey that starts out frightening (re-connecting with the body) feel safe and helps us keep going through dark moments.”

​

“Emily has really helped me come to terms with my trauma internally and helped me feel safe in my own body again. For the first time in years I feel powerful and confident.”

​

“In all of my experiences with Emily I leave feeling more embodied, grounded and empowered.”
