Disclosure, scheduling, and Payment

Seems you are ready to change. I realize the courage that takes. Commiting to moving on with wellness in the embodied unity of the emotions, intellect, body, consciousness, social relationships, and environment is ahuge deal, and a year feels like forever. An investment to take quite seriously.

That’s great! Because it’s work. Not a life time of it though. Dr. Peter Levine says,. “Healing trauma isn’t a life sentence.” He’s right. I didn’t have a lifetime to commit to healing. My position in 2013 was, either my trauma was over, or I was. And here I am.

What the numbers mean

The Holmes & Rahe test is an old one, but even back in 1968 they understood that high levels of stress meant a higher probability of getting a physical illness or disease. A couple things to note about the H&R test. One is that is a snapshot. The next time you take it, it could be higher or lower. You might have a high score one year like I did, and a lower score for a couple years, and then it might go up again. Like mine did. Two, the H&R test does not have anything connected to adverse childhood experiences. Either they were unaware of it, or simply chose not to open that Pandora’s box. The higher the number, the higher the risk. However, using the Toolbox to heal gives a huge buffer against getting sick from stress.

The ACE test is about those adverse childhood experiences that Holmes & Rahe didn’t mention. It’s easy to get the picture from the test that verbal abuse, drinking, drugs, jail, physical abuse, and sexual abuse is the type of family life you lived with. You’d be right. Not necessarily in a white trash or slummy sort of way, either. The movie Ordinary People reveals just how much this could effect even strata of the income levels of society. Some posit that neglect might be more harmful than abuse, and two of the questions deal with it, but only two. The point is to not fixate on the image the questions might foster. As you might have seen from the ACEs Too High page, they again indicate that the higher the score, “The higher your ACE score, the higher your risk of health and social problems.” Also, the higher the probability of developmental trauma, and for a good idea on how that works, I recommend reading, In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts, by Gabor Maté. He explains his developmental trauma despite having two loving parents, and the resultant addiction he experienced. That could be followed by Lawrence Heller’s, Healing Developmental Trauma. Even an ACE score of 1 can lead to trauma, so consider that possibility if you need to.

DISCLOSURE

Natural tremoring and TRE are members of a new-ish class of treatment techniques and protocols referred to as body-based (somatic) therapy. Somatic means it comes from inside the body innately, rather than externally applied. While still considered experimental for the last 20 years, these techniques are being used by therapists, firefighters, nurses, police, physicians, veterans, psychiatrists, and lay people worldwide. There are theories about how they work, why they work, and why they sometimes don’t work, but there is no accepted scientific explanation.

To date, natural tremoring and TRE have yielded exceptional results in the treatment of psychological and physical problems, but no one can know with certainty whether it will help a specific individual or address a specific problem.

Neither natural tremoring nor TRE are meant to replace appropriate medical treatment or mental health counseling.

As with any “exercise” program, please consult your physician before starting a natural tremoring practice. If your physician has approved basic physical exercise, you can safely begin.

It is acknowledged that Leckey Harrison is not a licensed medical professional, and is a thoroughly certified TRE Provider. Please ask if you have questions about what that training is to become a TRE provider if you need or want to.

Signing the waiver and intake form means you have read the waiver (here) and downloaded a copy for yourself.

It is also understood that individual results ARE going to vary. If you do the work, you will change. Results, like any change in life, cannot be guaranteed to look like anything in particular. If you do little to nothing, your results will reflect that. If you do the work offered, you will. YOU will get to determine what that looks like. Read that again - YOU will have the opportunity to be the author of your own life. What do you want it to look like?!

Here’s what I suggest. Poke around and look at the videos, and the definitions, and the “about” in the footer, and then the Information that in-formed us page. These will give you better ideas of who I am, my experiences, and what I’ve studied since 2013. That will perhaps better inform what you’d like to know in the first session, you’ll be far better prepared for what lies ahead!

Excellent!

Consultations and sessions are held on a Zoom call. If you’d like to schedule your first weekly appointment, go ahead and do so at the button below!
