Feeling Therapy

Esta offers Deep Feeling/Primal Therapy - a process of encountering and releasing repressed feelings and memories, thus discovering how they have influenced our life. It is a powerful and most natural approach to emotional healing.

We are unhappy and/or dysfunctional primarily because we have been hurt. Hurting is a feeling. Just thinking and/or talking cannot fully change feelings. Deep Feeling/Primal Therapy enables you to go back to these repressed experiences, feel them, liberate the locked-in energy and thus heal yourself. 
 

"Feel it and you will be freed from it" - Paul Vereshack, M.D.

We are born into this world with the ability and the need to fully express our emotions: joy, rage, terror, deep need, grief, and loneliness. When we grow up we learn that we can't always show our feelings. We get punished for expressing feelings, learn to block and store them and, as a consequence, become unhappy, constantly tired or sick. We "split". We carry with us a heavy load of unresolved business that exhausts our original energy and deprives us of a creative and enjoyable life.  

How Do We Get Hurt?

When we are little we get hurt in two different ways. First, parents are often not able to meet our needs for nurturing, attention, contact and caring. We begin to starve emotionally and split from feeling the pain of unmet needs. Second, we may have experienced emotional, verbal, physical or sexual abuse. Many of our histories contain both. For most of us childhood trauma is not a "one time" event, but rather "net trauma"- hurtful and damaging events over long periods of time. These old hurts have a powerful emotional charge. Many of us have wounds from childhood that need healing before we can live joyful, truly happy lives and fully realize our potential as human beings.

How Can Deep Feeling/Primal Therapy Help You Heal?

Primal or deep emotional release work is a natural process that our biology needs to complete. It is a healing power we all possess. It is the way to feel and integrate life experiences that have been split off from our awareness. It helps release old traumatic pain, which was blocked from our consciousness. This process brings positive internal changes, relief from negative feelings and destructive behaviors.

Deep Feeling/Primal Therapy searches for the fundamental questions and answers of our life. Change and healing are global experiences, affecting all aspects (self-concept, motivation, and feeling) of our living in the world. With primal work you can learn to trust your own natural healing ability to process your feelings. It is a way to get to know yourself on a very deep level, which you will continue to use to achieve clarity throughout your life.

The Significance of a Trusting Relationship

“We are conceived in relationship, born in relationship, and raised in relationship. It is in relationship that our needs are met - or not. It is in relationship that we get hurt, and it is in relationship that we must be healed.” - Sam Turton
A sincere trusting relationship between client and therapist is very important in this process. As this relationship develops, a client is able to let down their guard with someone they can trust and on whom they can depend to remain on their side. This is a special period of concentrated individual attention that helps the client to consciously resolve old unsatisfied needs and hurts. In this caring, honest and open relationship, strong emotional expressions arise naturally. By allowing them, and later discussing and journaling the connection between "old feelings" and present-day problems, we can put the past where it belongs - in the past and have more satisfying lives in the present.
