subject: Coming to Terms Through Rubenfeld Synergy [print this page] One of the great contributions of psychology has been to help us understand how we replay our hurts and affections with people other than those who have hurt or touched us. There are many names for this, the more well-known being "projection" and "transference". In essence, we play what has been said or done, or what hasn't been said or done, over, and over, until we think wecome to terms with it.
Our body holds our life's story - the trauma that we have experienced from various aspects of our life. It is emotional content that we hold in our bodies, sometimes we hold it in our stomach, our shoulders, or somewhere else that we are not conscious of.
Through Rubenfeld Synergy's listening touch it offers you a powerful tool to access and acknowledge those feelings and images that have been hidden in the body for years, creating tension, pain and distorted perceptions. Repressed tears, anger, grief, and much else may be re-experienced and released during a session, offering freedom for new ways of being.
My own experience of having Rubenfeld Synergy sessions has been life changing for me. For many years, I got up early each morning about 1:30 am and found myself cleaning the kitchen, wiping off counter tops, making sure all the dishes were done, and the kitchen was spotless. It was not until I started my personal Rubenfeld Synergy sessions that I became aware of this pattern. The habit of getting up early each morning at 1:30 a.m. was linked to a tragic childhoodthat I was subjected to. Through working with my personal Rubenfeld Synergist, I was able to become aware of the emotional content that I held in my body, to heal and torelease the emotional trauma that I held in my body. I am now in a placethat I feel lighter in my body, feel safe,and I love who I truly am.
