Somatic Experience Trauma Therapy

Hi, I’m Sheetal Mistry and I was once in the same shoes as you.

My own journey started in 2014, when I went through Anxiety & Depression.  I was in a deep dark tunnel with no light in sight (dark night of the soul). My past had come back to haunt me. Originally, my GP sent me off with a script for antidepressants. However, I felt a deep inner knowing that medications was not the answer as it would just mask the problem and not heal it. This is the reason why many end up on them on & off for life. It called for a solution that lied within myself & soul.

In 2015,  I managed to pull myself out of my dark tunnel permanently within a space of few months using holistic methods by focusing on the actual problem that was showing up within my body.  My past had up come full blown with no way to suppress it or hide from it. It was showing signs within my body as anxiety symptoms and palpitations. The palpitations became my focus point as I started to meditate. I would meditate on visualising my heart beating away & I could hear it beat so loudly, until one day I had a huge release from the heart, creating profound healing, gaining clarity & instant awakening. It was only recently that I realised, that it was a Somatic trauma healing of the heart that I had experienced back then. Back then, I realised that If you do not heal the traumatic event, it repeatedly keeps popping up until resolved.  Healing my past caused a full blown spiritual awakening.  I gained major light bulb moments and many epiphanies.  This was just the start of my spiritual journey – a foundation from which I am still growing.

Since my own healing, as a former optometrist, I had noticed an increase in people suffering from Anxiety, Depression & PTSD coming through the door.  The moment that I realised, that we can heal from most mental health issues holistically without medications, I decided that no matter what, I was going to specialise in the area.   This led me to to study Energy Healing to stabilise individuals on all 5 aspects of self: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual & dimensional. I also qualified as a Deep Transformational Life Coach.

However, something was missing as these methods did not heal deeper Trauma such as abuse, that is deeply embedded within a person. Energy Healing helps to stabilise individuals and also heal some issues. However, only individuals can heal themselves fully at deep core level through guidance. This level of healing then lasts for rest of your life. After some searching, Somatic Experience modalities such as Root cause therapy and Embodied Processing fitted the bill of how I could help clients heal such trauma.  These modalities are a game changing and starts to heal issues from day one. 

(Disclaimer,  If you are already on medication, please stay on them & work along side with the GP as well as taking on this therapy.  With time, the GP may be able to wean you off medications).
