Do I Feel Safe?

When I shared my work with Karen Hargot, a somatic therapist in Montreal, reactions came almost instantaneously. Through her work with adults facing complex developmental trauma, feelings of trust, safety and security are fundamental to the healing process. As we explore connections between the body, the nervous system and how clients experience both of these in tandem, the impact of unintegrated reflexes becomes clearer. 

By integrating RMTi into her practice, Karen has seen phenomenal results. Importantly, in this work, we’re watching how the body responds. We’re facilitating that understanding with clients, working together and choosing how and which movements to attempt. Karen’s clients have gained a greater understanding of their experience and less shame. It’s an appreciation for how their primitive reflexes might not have integrated as they should have earlier in life. 

I’m traveling to Canada this November for a workshop in RMTi fundamentals, teaching even more therapists and caretakers the meaningful connections that Karen now incorporates in her practice. Our goal is to spread the word, so we may refer the waitlists of patients to a greater number of practitioners that employ rhythmic movement therapy.
