Stop Over Efforting: Listening to the Body’s Wisdom in Healing


Listen Later

Are you feeling stuck in your practice or with certain clients -- trying too hard to make tissues release and changes happen? Listen in to today’s episode as Lynn shares two client stories and what can happen if we step back, get curious, and allow the body’s innate wisdom to guide the healing process.

Come discover the importance of stepping back and getting curious when working with tissues that resist release. It’s easy to fall into the trap of over-efforting, trying to force a release or change, but resistance often signals something deeper. By learning to approach the body with curiosity and respect, we open the door to profound healing.

Key Topics Covered:

  • The importance of backing off when tissues resist and asking, “What is the tissue trying to do?”
  • How to dialogue with the body and allow tissues to relax naturally, rather than pushing for a release.
  • Techniques like pelvic sweeping and awareness practices to support clients without delving into complex emotional details.

Client Stories:

  • Client 1: A woman with tension linked to unresolved trauma from an abusive relationship. 
  • Client 2: A grieving mother carrying trauma from the past and feelings of over-responsibility. 

The approach discussed in today’s episode is at the core of what’s taught in the Birth Healing Intensive, a transformative 9-month journey that equips practitioners with tools to respectfully and effectively support pregnant and postpartum clients from a deeper level. If you’re ready to get more meaningful results for both you and your clients, consider enrolling in the next session starting in January.
