WHAT IS DREAM TENDING?
DREAM TENDING IS A METHOD OF WORKING AND ENGAGING WITH DREAMS, DREAM IMAGES, FIGURES AND LANDSCAPES, THROUGH AN EMBODIED AND CURIOUS LENS, OF INVITING THEM TO STEP FORWARD AND LEARNING THEIR LANGUAGE, AND WHY THEY ARE HERE, SHOWING UP IN OUR DREAMS. WE DO NOT INTERPRET OR ANALYZE THE DREAMS, WE RATHER INVITE AND INQUIRE, OPENING THE DOORWAY INTO OUR OWN DEPTHS OF UNCONSCIOUS. DREAMS OFFER US A RECONNECTION TO OUR DEEP UNSEEN SELF, AND CAN BE A VITAL SOURCE OF wisdom, GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION. THEY OFTEN CAN OFFER INSIGHT, reveal DEEP LONGINGs AND A PATH TOWARD A MORE INTEGRATED LIFE AND COHESIVE SELF KNOWING. LEARN MORE HERE https://dreamtending.com
what is the difference between somatic therapy and somatic coaching?
therapy may focus more on developmental trauma and early life experiences that still impede our growth and development. coaching the focus is more on
present with a future orientation, assessing goals and blockages while building relational and life skills, creating plans and structures and our sense of will, autonomy and direction. Of course our past experience enters into coaching and potential barriers we may encounter, yet we may not dive deep into the emotional missing experience as deeply, and therapy may be an addition to coaching. In both somatic therapy and somatic coaching I take a somatic, depth and soul centered approach as a practioner, my goal is to support clients more towards their fullest expression of their truest core essential self. in coaching the emphasis may be more on knowing how to navigate or create a life that supports that.
