Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP™) is a wholistic approach to improve therapeutic outcomes through embodiment of all aspects of our human experience including the spiritual aspect, so denied in many traditional psychological methods.
Integral Somatic Psychology was developed by Raja Selvam, PhD. It is a comprehensive approach to experience embodiment based on Western, Jungian as well as Eastern psychology. It is currently taught in over a dozen countries in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Integral Somatic Psychology is not another classical approach to doing therapy. It is the complementary modality that increases the effectiveness of any therapeutic method: body oriented therapy, energetic, psychotherapeutic, medical, social, and spiritual practices.
Why the importance of working with emotions through embodiment?
“Building of capacity to tolerate difficult emotional experiences, is one aspect of the work with emotions, and it is extremely important to psychological health” Stolorow, Brandchaft, and Atwood (1995).
No matter what the nature of an overwhelming experience or situation is, it becomes difficult because the emotional state is unbearable.
Emotions are embodied when they are generated over a wider area in the brain and involve our body physiology.
When this happens there is a greater capacity to tolerate and stay with emotions. And also over a longer period of time.
Then the brain has more information in the form of molecules of emotion (opioids, neuro-peptide receptors, electrical and neurochemical neurotransmitters, etc). The more time we are processing emotions, we can improve all aspects of our life and experience.
How does Emotional Embodiment work?
Embodiment has to do our inner felt experience in the body.
We use the 4 aspects of embodiment:
- Expand and deepen the emotional experience in the body.
- Tolerate the emotional experience in the body. Here you will understand and work through innate resistances to all unpleasant experiences and learn to dissolve psychological resistances.
- Make a better sense of the original situation that was difficult. There will be clearer thinking and brighter insights.
- Act more harmoniously in relation to the experience.
What do you learn in this session?
You can increase the capacity to tolerate uncomfortable emotions (such as anxiety, panic attacks, jealousy, anger, grief, shame, guilt, loneliness, hopelessness, dissociation and collapse).
- Learn processing emotions with your body experience (through movement, breathing and self-touch techniques).
- Learn how to regulate different parts of your brain.
- Feel different emotions and learn how to balance inner organs: lever, heart, mild, etc.
- Practice the 4 ingredients of emotional embodiment.
- Learn how to work with the individual and the collective layers of consciousness.
