Somatic Therapy, a body-based approach to healing, taps into the mind-body connection to release stress, anxiety, and trauma stored in our physical self. Discover how somatic experiencing can help you find calm and reconnect with your body in Toronto.
Recognized for its effectiveness in treating conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression, EMDR therapy is an empowering path to break free from emotional pain and reclaim a sense of self. Here’s a closer look at how EMDR works, the neuroscience behind it, and why so many people in Toronto are turning to EMDR for deep healing.
With roots in ancient healing practices, breathwork is not just about breathing; it’s about unlocking the mind-body connection to release trauma, relieve stress, and empower personal growth. But how exactly does breathwork work, and why is it so effective? Explore how breathwork can release trauma, reduce anxiety, and calm the mind.
As far back as ancient Greece, there has been an understanding that there is some qualitative difference between the mind and the body. The body is something we can touch and feel and see, while the mind seems more elusive. While the body is made of the physical, the mind is made of the electrical, the energetic, perhaps the spiritual. But where does the brain fit in? And disorders such as depression and anxiety – to which domain do they belong?
In the context of our health accounts, the fight-or-flight system is energetically expensive and burns through our savings faster than high-interest credit cards. So how do we manage our health finances? What is the equivalent of an RRSP in health terms? When do we focus on accruing savings vs. minimizing spending? And what does it mean in practical terms to invest in our health?
Our body has two basic operating systems; the “fight or flight” system and the “rest and digest” system. Both of these systems are vital and we need them both, but we need them in the right balance. And unfortunately, as a society, we are drastically out of balance. Our bodies were never meant to be exposed to a sustained stress response, which is why chronic stress is implicated in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease and countless others.
In bank account terms, our fight-or-flight system (which is our prevailing operating system when we’re under stress) is a rampant spender, while our rest-and-digest system (which governs our bodies when we’re relaxed) is the fiscally responsible saver. The bottom line, as it were, is that if we’re hoping to make it into retirement with a healthy savings, we need to manage our spending and make regular contributions to our savings account.

Imagine our brain as a room with one giant filing cabinet in the centre of it. The filing cabinet is made up of many drawers (representing memory networks), which are filled with many files (representing brain cells). At birth, most of these files are strewn about the room haphazardly, with relatively few being stored in the filing cabinet. During the course of our life, the files in the room are gradually organized into drawers of the filing cabinet.
