I used to be way more uptight than I am now. In fact, I was so anxious I almost thought I'd jump right out of my skin. I tried talking about it in therapy but it turns out, sometimes talking just isn't enough. In fact, there is scientific brain research that shows how trauma is stored in the amygdala which is separate from the neo-cortex or "thinking" part of the brain. Therefore, talking is sometimes not enough to help heal trauma.
I've had plenty of trauma in my life and some of it happened before I was even able to speak. It turns out that just because you don't remember traumatic events or just because you "grow up" doesn't mean the impact of trauma goes away, the emotional impact of trauma can actually stay stored in your body and can be expressed in many non-verbal ways such as anxiety or physical illness.
Part of my healing has been my work with Los Angeles based Master healer/teacher/Shaman, James Hyman, founder of the
Deep Emotional Release Bodywork and Quantum Healing.
James' work takes you to the core of your issues to help you release the associated blocks held in the body and subconscious mind. His work helps balance the chakras, open up the higher mind centers, and takes you to a new level on your path of Spiritual Awakening. His work also brings about new insight and Self-awareness and a strong sense of internal well-being and self-esteem. After working with James you will feel lighter, as if a heavy burden has been lifted. Sometimes you'll even have the direct physical experience of bliss and enlightenment.

I'm always telling my friends about James Hyman and many people I know have travelled to see him, driving over and hour each way, yet always glad they did.
This week I have a special announcement for my Long Beach and Orange County friends, James Hyman has offered to schedule a day of sessions in Long Beach, CA this Friday, November 14. There are only 5 openings left.
I know it's short notice but I also know that if it's meant to be, it will work out for whoever it's supposed to work out for. The sessions will be held at the Everyday Zen Relaxation Studio located at 3740 Atlantic Blvd, Suite #201, in Long Beach, just north of the 405 freeway.
If you're one of those people who've talked and talked in therapy but just never felt like you got anywhere, or if you feel burdened or stuck because of unresolved emotional isssues, this technique could help free you.
Some of you are my friends and you've already experienced a session with James. If you're ready for a tune up or if you want to pass this information on to a friend, now would be a good time to do that. To schedule an appointment or ask questions, call (323) 684-6157 and ask for Barbara or e-mail emotionalrelease@gmail.com.
