While studying the fine arts in her early twenties, Jeorge developed an interest in how the creative process could be used as a vehicle for self-awareness, growth and transformation. She became intrigued with Jungian psychology, exploring the unconscious realm through art, dreams and psychodrama. Years on, this creative and transpersonal approach enabled Jeorge to navigate her way through her own physical and mental health challenges. This consolidated a deep and lifelong trust in the ability to heal and transform from unconscious and self defeating ways of being. Looking to give context, grounding and meaning to her intuitive process to healing, she went on to complete a Diploma in Transpersonal Art therapy at the IKON institute, followed by a Bachelor degree in Counselling at Notre Dame University. Seeking to refine and deepen the full embodied therapeutic experience for her clients, Jeorge then undertook a further four years of training to become a Certified Hakomi Somatic psychotherapist. Her training and experience as a therapist, and her implicit belief in the healing process, enables Jeorge to hold a safe and liberating space for her clients to navigate and transform through their own personal challenges with confidence.

It offers the opportunity to develop deep insight leading to self-awareness, choice and transformation. It invites us to become aware of our somatic experience - in other words, our felt sense and our embodied selves. We normally spend a great deal of our lives up in our head and not utilising the larger perspective and intelligence that is always available to us. The felt sense is the experience of physical sensations within our body at any given moment, which is directly linked to our thoughts, emotions, images and memories. This is also known as the mind/body connection. Our body holds the story of our entire life experience. The meaning which we give these experiences both shape who we believe we are today, as well as the lense through which we view the world around us. This conditioning is continually being expressed as habitual and embodied patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviour. It has influenced how we respond to the world around us, how we respond to our inner experiences, how we physically move our body, the idiosyncrasies we develop and all our default ways of being. We then call this our character or personality. To a large extent we have bought into the erroneous belief that our personality is fixed and we are powerless to change it. These ingrained patterns can either be resourceful and empowering in their nature, or limiting and self-defeating. The balance of how these helpful and unhelpful responses play out depends on many factors throughout life. Our earliest experiences in childhood lay the foundation for deeply ingrained core beliefs and patterns. As life continues, these beliefs and patterns can either be reinforced further or guided into new directions. This is based on the premise of what science calls Neuroplasticity. Which way this goes, is mostly determined by what life throws at us and the resources available to us both internally and externally at the time. Much of this internal phenomenon can remain outside of our awareness and therefore outside of our control, causing us to believe that we have no choice in the matter. When we experience overwhelming and traumatic situations and do not have the support or means to process the events or the emotions and energy that we experienced at the time, it will remain undigested and trapped within our body. This causes a disruption to our nervous system and natural innate state of free-flowing energy (also sometimes referred to as Chi, Qi, flow state, breath, life force or spirit). With this trauma, a repetitive feedback loop in the system can be triggered that continues to play out in our thoughts, memories, and the physical body as if the event is still happening in present time and feeling as if you have no control over it. We are unable to stop this automatic response occurring until we bring intentional awareness to the experience and learn how to respond in a new way. A new perspective and sense of meaning can then be made, liberating us from the conditioned patterns toward wholeness and the choice and freedom to embark on new possibilities. Being aware of our somatic experience can be developed by present moment awareness skills (mindfulness) and cultivating a deep listening so that we notice the information our mind-body is continually conveying to us. By making the unconscious conscious, we then have the ability to make new informed choices. We are able to transform those parts of us that no longer serve our wellbeing as well as gain access to the beneficial resources and states that we already have within, but did not recognise. Ultimately, if the path is desired, as it is in many ancient spiritual traditions, the mind-body experience is an inner journey towards self-actualization, beyond suffering and re-connecting to our true Self, which has always been with us and has always been whole. https://www.organicimpulse.com.au/therapeutic-approach daily 0.75 2020-10-11 https://www.organicimpulse.com.au/hakomi daily 0.75 2020-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e635481acc6d43b4e1ea857/1602412262291-UW1IE67UXXXQ3TQP7ZXF/hakomiv2.png What is Hakomi? - Hakomi The Hakomi approach is a mindfulness based somatic psychotherapy that views the body as a window to unconscious core material. Awareness is brought to the present moment experience. We are then invited to study the organisation of this experience through our thoughts, emotions, reactions, images and the sensations and tensions within our felt sense. This information informs us about the beliefs we have constructed about ourselves, others, the world we live in and how we show up. This exploration is deeply rooted within the 5 core principles that guide Hakomi: Mindfulness: a particular type of curious and non judgemental attention inward of the present moment experience. Organicity: self-organization, an innate capacity and intelligence toward healing. Non-violence: viewing defences that come up not as obstacles to be push past but rather opportunities to observe and gain understanding. Mind-body integration: is the recognition of mind, body, and spirit as entities that continuously interact and influence each other. Unity: the view that everything is interconnected.
