Simon Wilson, LCSW
I love to dance, blow bubbles, climb rocks, paddle rivers, and explore the beauty of nature. I bring a warm and loving presence to my practice, emphasizing the importance of unconditional positive regard in my interactions with everyone. I deeply recognize the strength of each person's innate inner healing intelligence, firmly believing that we are all inherently whole and possess the resources necessary for our own healing journeys. As a Vipassana student I practice cultivating equanimity amidst the constantly changing, impermanent nature of life.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer a variety of therapeutic modalities including EMDR and Mind Body Bridging. I often facilitate group breathwork ceremonies and I have furthered my expertise with additional training in Trauma Focused-CBT, DBT, and the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy. With a history of working with individuals integrating expanded states of awareness through entheogenic and psychedelic experiences, I am well-equipped to support diverse healing pathways.
Offerings
EMDR
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic approach designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. EMDR involves a structured eight-phase therapy that helps individuals process and integrate traumatic experiences.
During an EMDR session, clients recall distressing events while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements or tactile stimuli. This dual focus allows the brain to process memories that have been inadequately processed, facilitating an adaptive resolution.
The therapeutic effectiveness of EMDR lies in its ability to help clients reprocess traumatic memories, thereby reducing their emotional charge. This process can release trapped energy related to past trauma, allowing individuals to experience a sense of relief and empowerment. As clients work through these memories, they often notice a decrease in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts, leading to improved emotional health and enhanced well-being.
Furthermore, by addressing the root causes of emotional distress, EMDR can create space for healing and growth, enabling individuals to move forward with their lives. Through this process, releasing energy associated with unresolved trauma becomes possible, paving the way for resilience and a more fulfilling life.
Breathwork
Transformational circular breathwork is a powerful technique that harnesses the potential of breath to facilitate deep emotional and physical healing. This approach involves a continuous, circular pattern of breathing, allowing participants to enter an altered state of consciousness. As the breath flows naturally without pause, it enhances self-awareness, promotes emotional release, and opens pathways to profound insights.
During a session, individuals may experience a variety of sensations and emotions, ranging from bliss and excitement to tension and discomfort. This process helps to uncover and integrate unresolved issues, providing opportunities for transformation and personal growth. The supportive environment and guidance during the experience ensure a safe space for exploration.
Participants often report feelings of clarity, inner peace, and connection to deeper aspects of themselves after engaging in this practice. This form of breathwork is not just a technique; it's a journey toward self-discovery and empowerment. By focusing on the breath, individuals can tap into their inner resources, allowing for the release of emotional blockages and the integration of past experiences.
