How can Deep Rest Integration help me?

Deep Rest Integration can help you if feel, or have ever felt:

• Caught within certain patterns of unwanted relational or personal behaviour

• Overwhelmed, tired, burnt out, or hyper-sensitive to the challenges of daily living.

• Driven by addictive or avoidant behaviour and unable to break out of habits and reactive patterns that haven’t resolved themselves by willpower or talking therapy.

• Limited by emotional challenges, such as frequent inner collapse, depression, anxiety, outbursts of anger, feeling wounded or misunderstood, emotional ‘hiding’ or excessive vulnerability.

• The excessive need to find oneself defined by another, over-dependence in relationships, or an experience of feeling ‘complete’ or loveable only through another person.

What is it?

Deep Rest Integration is a one-to-one enquiry-led, facilitated therapeutic experience. Deep Rest Integration Sessions provide you the opportunity to transform your relationship with yourself – which has huge implications for effecting change, growth and fulfilment in your life. This work draws upon my twenty+ years of study, professional work and personal experience within the fields of meditation, eastern philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, yoga and the many intersections between all of these.

Sessions are based upon a ‘gold-standard’, research-backed protocol and combine a unique blend of meditative inquiry and work with unconscious processes, and can facilitate profound and lasting transformation.

This is not traditional therapy, and not a quick fix, but rather a transformative path of radical acceptance and self-discovery. Deep Rest Integration sessions offer you the chance to understand and listen to the wisdom of your inner world; to experience psychological, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and to liberate your unique expression in life – through your work, actions, creativity and relationships.

Deep Rest Integration isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it is for anyone wishing to experience a more peaceful relationship with themselves; and for anyone who truly wishes to access a more deeply rested sense of self in their life.

This work requires curiosity and courage, and rewards these qualities with profound insight, compassion and transformation. Deep Rest Integration tends to suit those who have either ‘had their fill’ of traditional talking therapies and are seeking a new approach, or those who don’t wish to ‘go over’ what’s happened through explanation or extensive talking. There is a strong focus on sensation and the body, the felt-sense and somatic experience, which helps you to feel your way to integration, as opposed to relying on analysis, storytelling, talking and thinking.

If the notion of a deeper, quieter, wise self inside you resonates, this work is for you. Sessions leverage this principle as a holding environment to explore whatever aspects of your experience you wish to focus on, and are based on a protocol and research-based model of self-enquiry.

People are drawn to Deep Rest Integration from all walks of life – some seeking to excavate day-to-day freedom from unconscious conditioning, some seeking simple tools to experience physiological states of deep relaxation. There are many reasons, and no set reasons to undertake this work. I work with busy executives, family caregivers, office administrators, high-profile celebrities, students and those at ‘crossroad moments’ in life. Across a diverse client-base, I see commonality in the very human challenges of simply being alive, and a truth that many of us benefit from having a witnessing guide to help us integrate our difficulties with our joys, and come to a more peaceful self-relationship.

There also doesn’t need to be an overtly specific reason for engaging in this work. It may simply feel ‘right’ - the timing, or another unseen driver meaning that we finally realise it is time to tend to ourselves and find a new way of self-relating that is more aligned with our deeper truth.
