Learn about how Radix work bridges the transition from cognitive awareness to the body level experiential awareness of the impact of trauma, and "the 3 points of grounding". In this Radix Conversations series, Psychologists Louise, Helen and Brendan talk about how they integrate somatic work into their practice.
In this short video our practitioners, Brendan and George, discuss the depth of work required to heal complex trauma, and how Radix Somatic work does this so brilliantly.
Talk therapy and verbalisations of unpleasant events without experiencing emotions constitutes defensive rather than integrative coping. By contrast, right-brain processing of emotions is integrative rather than defensive, and unconscious rather than conscious.
A therapist can only take you as far as they have gone themselves. A right-brain to right-brain connection between therapist and client is a necessary condition in healing trauma.
Understanding the right-brain defense of "dissociation" and the left-brain defense of "repression" in trauma.
Why is right brain therapy necessary in trauma healing? In this video Brendan discusses what type of therapy actually works and what you need to look for in a therapist who can genuinely help you.

This is how our attachment style imprinted on the right-brain in childhood shows up in our adult relationships. The only way to shift to a secure attachment as an adult is with right-brain based therapy like Radix Somatic Psychotherapy.

What is Radix?
Radix is a powerful personal development process or body psychotherapy, which promotes change, growth and healing. The word 'radix' means root or source. It is the energy flow that gives rise to and unites the emotions, body, mind and spirit. Radix practitioners work with this energy to free old habits, which have become locked in the body and mind.
In engaging with life, from childhood to adulthood, we develop patterns of behaviour and core beliefs that protect but limit us. These patterns are manifested in the mind as defence mechanisms and in the body, by our body shape, movement, breathing patterns and expression. The Radix practitioner looks for the relationship between these patterns and habits, both as they are expressed in the client's current life and in what is happening on an energetic level in their body.
The client, by working with their body as well as their thinking, discovers experientially, step by step, how the body participates in unconsciously interfering with the way they think, act and feel. This awareness enables them to re-channel and strengthen the flow of the life force, empowering and giving more choice to engage in life more fully.
