Life experiences are stored in various parts of our bodies. Since the techniques used in CST are gentle, but powerful, the effects go deep without stimulating the body's defenses. They can often unlock and help release the residue of trauma stored in the tissues. This unlocking and facilitated resolution process is called Emotional Release.

Emotional Release uses dialoging and therapeutic imagery along with other verbal, energetic and physical support techniques to initiate change. These techniques promote the discovery and gentle release of the restrictions that contribute to pain and dysfunction. You are the active participant while the therapist is merely the facilitator. In other words, the therapist helps you to help heal yourself.

During a treatment emotions may rise to the surface, but Emotional Release is not necessarily a painful, cathartic event. It can be a friendly negotiation between you and your various parts. When we cling to our once-helpful coping mechanisms after they cease to be useful, they reemerge as sources of pain and loss of function. The therapist is the facilitator and mediator as she helps guide you toward resolution.

These techniques are not a part of every CST session. They are used to support and resolve an emotionally-based process only when it arises spontaneously for the client during the session.

After receiving this process-oriented type of bodywork, people often report greater clarity, peacefulness and insight along with positive change in their physical symptoms.
