The Arousal Cycle by Dr. Peter Levine.

One of the theories behind the method I use, is called The Arousal Cycle by Dr. Peter Levine. At least this is the one I resonate the most with.

Imagine an animal having a traumatic or stressful experience. It will pump up all the energy necessary to either fight or to run. This is its natural survival response.

If, however the biology of the animal determines that it is neither possible to run or to fight, it will freeze. It simply plays dead to protect itself. Maybe you’ve seen this, meeting a deer in the forest.

As soon as the threat (or perceived threat) is over, the animal will intuitively shake out this excess energy which couldn’t be expressed by fighting or fleeing. Maybe you’ve seen this too, imagine a dog shaking after a tense situation.

This process is the exact same mechanism as in humans. Like animals, we are wired for survival above all.

However, the last part of the cycle (the intuitive shaking) is often suppressed by several factors, such as: the human neo cortex, social norms, medical procedures such as anesthesia, or simply ignorance of its importance.

This means that the arousal cycle is interrupted!

All that excess energy is never released, so it stays in the body. It may stay there for many years, even a whole lifetime. This is where a traumatic experience hangs around, and becomes trauma.

In other words, this is how trauma is created.

In De-armouring sessions, we work with releasing this stored energy from the body. 

What is De-armouring?

Rooting in Shamanic cultures, such as Native American traditions, De-armouring was further conceptualized by psychotherapist Wilhelm Reich in the 1930’s. Since then, various approaches to the technique have been developed. 

De-armouring aims at freeing the body from armor, which allows energy to flow freely through the whole body.

This armor often manifests as “swallowed”, unexpressed emotions, blockages in fascia, and tense muscles. It is simply energy that is stuck in the body.

The approach I am trained in is a very holistic one. This means we use various practices in each session, depending on the particular situation.

Elements that are always included are: touch on skin, light breathwork, and music.

What might happen in a De-armouring session?

Before your first session, you will receive simple questions about your health, and current state. This allows me to make sure we are a right fit, and that you are ready for a De-armouring session with me.

When you arrive, we will do a little grounding, allowing you to gently land in the space with me. We will have a little talk, where you can ask any questions, express your wishes for the session, and state your boundaries. When you are ready for the session, we will begin.

De-armouring sessions are never the same! The most important thing is to allow your body to express whatever it wants to express. This might be sounds, movements, and/or emotions. If your body doesn’t feel completely safe or ready, it simply won’t express. And that is completely okay! We never force the body to open!

Often the actual change, we experience is the ripple effect De-armouring sessions can have into our everyday lives. You might feel free of obstacles that used to be in the way of doing what you want, you might feel more flow, or you might change your way of relating with others. 

A few days after a session, I will e-mail you for a check in, and if you want to, you can express how you feel, what might have changed in your everyday life, and whether you wish to do more sessions. 

How do I know if this is for me?

If you feel held back by

fear, anxiety, traumatic experiences, physical or emotional pain, ingrown patterns, limiting beliefs, lack of trust in yourself, others, the world.

If you feel stuck in life, and wish to make changes.

If you feel prevented in embodying your true essence, your true self.

If you are curious about going deeper within yourself, creating more capacity within yourself.

If you want to connect deeper with yourself.

If you wish to detox your body.

You are always so welcome to contact me for any questions you might have!
