Listening and Responding

One of the most important aspects of my trainings/work/teaching is "listening", and "responding".

"Listening" can be with ears, eyes, hands, senses.

I can "listen" to how someone's body responds to the contact of my hands, or to my verbal cues. Each person responds differently, and an individual can respond differently from one session to the next.

When I do more than one session with someone, both of us learn how to "listen" to each other. Among other things, this can lead to feelings of trust and safety.

Based upon what I "hear" when I "listen", I can adjust, as needed, my contact/cueing, and the choices I make about how to proceed.

Thus, my work is not an "exact science". It is not "formulaic: "containing or consisting of fixed and repeated groups of words or ideas" (cambridge.org/dictionary)

My work, although not formulaic, is rooted in sound trainings, in protocol, in sequencing. There is consistency underlying all of my work.

I never "guarantee" that my work can "fix" someone's "problem".

Rather, I say that based upon my experiences, it is likely we will be able to help relieve pain, restriction, etc., and create new patterns of ease.
