Health and regulation are possible only when our body can process emotions naturally and sustainably, and in ways that get us unstuck.
Emotional Processing helps our body naturally heal its wounds and metabolise emotions.
Metabolised emotions can ground us in our power and enliven our body's innate capacity to heal.
- Receive science-backed education on how to help your body process emotions after trauma for better health and inner resilience
- Understand how to go from simply talking about emotions to starting feeling them so you can access deeper layers of healing
- Be guided through somatic practices you can return to anytime for sustainable emotional and trauma processing
If youâve gone through trauma, thereâs great healing potential in your unprocessed emotions, and their processing can be a doorway to aliveness, wholeness and empowerment.
Â
If you experience anxiety, panic attacks, cPTSD or depression, these are a few ways your body is telling you it has a hard time processing emotions.
This is often a result of trauma when your body had to protect itself from overwhelm.
But this protection now works overtime that stops you from processing emotions and your body from recovering after trauma.Â
Emotional processing is an innate healing mechanism that helps your body naturally metabolise emotions, and return to balance and regulation. Itâs a genius mechanism that's necessary for the good functioning of your health â emotional, mental, and physical.
Your body has a capacity for it, even if it's not activated or fully developed yet.
Emotional processing requires a body-mind approach because...
-
Your emotions are real hormonal, chemical, energetic and somatic events in your physiology (which is why theyâre not âjust in your headâ)
-
Your emotional overwhelm isnât caused by your emotions â itâs caused by how your body has learnt to interpret and relate to emotions
-
You can 'teach' your body to feel safe and relatively calm even in the presence of emotional dysregulation and heavier emotions, such as anger, sadness and shame
-
Emotional processing requires that we reconnect with our bodies and process our trauma, not only cognitively, but also somatically
Emotional processing is a skill we can develop over time.
This is why I decided to offer this workshop to you that will include trauma-informed nervous system education and science-backed tools to empower you to strengthen one of your body's most vital skills.
More specifically you'll learn:
-
The scientific link between emotional processing and our immune system's ability to fight disease
-
How our body's struggle to metabolise emotional trauma can lead to anxiety and depression
-
The physiology of shame, and how shame blocks our capacity to process emotions and regulate
-
Somatic, emotional and psychological signs of emotional avoidance
-
The necessary requirement for our body to be able to metabolise emotions linked to trauma
-
Different strategies for the processing of core emotions, such as fear, panic, shame, anger and rage
-
The difference between emotions vs. feelings, and how to harness the power of both to create self-empowerment
-
Polyvagal Theory tools to help with naturally metabolising repressed emotions that lead to anxiety and depression
-
A 5-step model for sustainable emotional processing in daily life
-
Somatic Experiencing safety principles for effective emotional processing
-
THREE somatic exercises to support the emotional processing of trauma
What My Clients Say...
"Effie helped me get to the core of my problem, gave me tools to transcend it, and techniques to help me feel and release emotions I used to shut down out of fear. She helped me feel âwholeâ again. To anyone thinking of working with Effie, I'd say do yourself a favour and do it. She's been incredibly helpful to me and I will always be grateful the universe sent her my way."
Dave Cooke
"Working somatically with Effie helped me be more familiar with the sensations in my body and be comfortable to sit with my feelings. I've struggled with urgency and I'm now able to notice when my body is in the fight or flight, and to ground myself. Effie also helped me realize how my core wounds are playing out in my life, and I'm better able to notice when I'm acting out of a wound. My skin has also cleared over the months after working on my trauma, which was unexpected but now makes sense since I was always in fight or flight and never gave my body a chance to relax. Working with Effie was so beneficial and in the end I noticed huge improvements in my mental health."

About your Teacher
Â
Effie Kli is a trauma-trained somatic coach and educator with over 1,200 hours of somatic, nervous system and trauma training, combined with client work privately and in groups. Her holistic approach is informed by science-backed psychology and neuroscience, by the understanding that body and mind are one system, and by what she sees her clients benefit from as she supports them with the processing of trauma and repressed emotions stored in their bodies.
For two decades she lived with cPTSD and anxiety, and one thing she's seen proven inside her practice and through her own personal change is that our body always guides us towards healing.Â
In her work and teachings, Effie is not interested in pathologising symptoms and pain because she knows that symptoms and pain are our body's way of talking to us. Instead of shaming those experiences, a paradigm shift of healing is to learn to apply compassionate curiosity and learn to speak our body's language so that trauma gets resolved sustainably.
