Quiz Outcomes

1.
You should focus on... Somatic Healing
Image Source
Somatic Healing is one of the MOST powerful & effective healing modalities today.The body keeps score.Soma = BodyThe body remembers everything that happened.What happened is not necessarily as important as the nervous system's interpretation of what happened.Memories are imprinted in the felt senses-- in the tissues & energetic body, so to experience new outcomes, a new way of living in the present, one MUST address the somatic body to clear the past & to make real estate for what's to come.To feel the Somatic Body is to access subconscious programming & beliefs, (beyond ordinary thought & consciousness), which gives access to a storehouse of memories that live dormant in the body-- which without awareness, runs your life.With awareness is the opportunity for change & for something new to emerge in your way of being & experience of life.Somatic Healing = allowing the intelligent wisdom of the body to be felt, unbound & liberated, so you can finally live in alignment with the life you truly desire.Somatic Healing is the #1 thing that changed my life (and continues to do so) after more than 20 years in talk therapy.Working with a trusted mentor in Somatic Healing is essential to support the vitality of the Nervous System. Many memories stored in the Somatic Body cannot be processed alone & must be released in relationship to another human being in order for the trauma to be fully released & reprogrammed.How do you know if Somatic Healing is really what you should focus on in your journey?Let’s play “Tick the boxes!” Have you or do you…✅ Tried talk therapy & feel like there is more beyond what you are able to access through words?✅ You feel a gap between the life that you desire to live & your current reality.✅ You feel stuck &/or like you are repeating patterns in your life.✅ Current day conflicts feel like they get blown out of proportion.✅ Feel anxious & overwhelmed regularly✅ Feel depression regularly, life feels flat, getting out of bed can be a challenge✅ Fear getting your heart broken✅ Often feel regret✅ Try to control life, outcomes & people.. feels safer that way ;)✅ Compare yourself to others✅ Engage in critical self-talk✅ Minimize your responsibility/choice✅ Silence your intuition✅ People please✅ Have a difficult time trusting life & letting people in✅ Tend to be consumed by thoughts or create worse case scenarios in your mind....if you check even 3 of these boxes, then chances are you would highly benefit from Somatic Healing with a trusted mentor, to create space for new experiences in life, beyond your previous experiences in the past. "We are all just walking each other home."-Ram DassGet To Know YourselfAfter all, no one knows you better than you..Somatic Healing is an often misunderstood practice, and while it does involve talking about feelings, it’s more about FEELING, allowing & meeting sensations exactly as they are.Curious to learn why you are the way you are?Why you react or respond to certain people, situations, environments the way that you do?How you experience romantic relationships & why you might not be fully fulfilled in your relationships?And how to address some of the ways you unknowingly operate from patterns & old belief?Other than learning to process emotions & energy through Somatic Healing, let’s take a look at the Foundation of Somatic Healing.First: Feel the body first: might start with a body scan in all 6 directions.Second: Drop from mind into BODY.Third: Locate where & what does the body feel like: Where do youFEEL sensations?Fourth: Focus on the sensation that is the most prominent (letyour intuition guide you).Fifth: If the sensation were an emotion, what would it be?Sixth: Let it live, agenda-less. may be several minutes (2-4minutes)Seventh: If doesn’t subside ask it what it’s about: directly answeringfrom the sensation, not the mind.Eighth: .Move energy: sound, shaking, burping, crying, coughing,breathing, yawningNinth: Match the sensation with your awareness: how does thebody want to express itself?ie: throat tightness: toning, singing, yelling, anger: gripping fists, pushing into wall, using pillow to scream into or hit a hard surface like a bed or couch.Helpful Notes:Resource: let yourself feel the new state for several minutes after. Feel the clearing.. the newness that arises in the moments following feeling an emotion.. perhaps a new possibility to fill this energetic space with Truth... love, aliveness... refilling your body & energetic field with nourishment. ***This step is just as important as feeling, digesting & releasing the emotion. It is common for emotional states to come in waves: intensity then reprieve in peace/ repeated. The more than you can surrender into riding the wave... the more pleasant the experience.Practice this whenever you notice a state change or trigger- known moments: worry, fear of future, fear of being aloneAllow life to emanate you- to move through you it just keeps getting better... promise :)The Truth About Somatic Healing...Hey there, I’m Dr. Katelyn Means, Euphoria Extraordinaire, ie: Somatic Healing & Awakening Coach… I am likely busting a move on a dance floor nearest you. I created The Euphoria Effect, to inspire those on the path of healing, personal development & awakening.I am on a relentless mission to help humans liberate from their past, pain & suffering.So that they can remember who they really are… beyond their pain & past.I help seekers who feel stuck.I believe that in order to truly live in harmony with one another, we must live in harmony with ourselves first.I believe that ANYTHING is possible.I believe that dreams, aren’t dreams—that dreams can be waking reality.I believe that no matter what life circumstance, painful past or trauma we have endured, there is a way through to brighter now & an even brighter, more liberated, sustainable future.Thank you for being here with me.

Schwartz, and is now commonly referenced as Parts Work. Parts Work is primarily built on the word itself: Part.Parts Work acknowledges the Truth that we are comprised of many, many different parts of ourselves.And that each part has its own unique experience, world view & needs.A part is formed when there was a need or an experience of life that required a "splitting off" so to speak. Where the part split off from the wholeness of you & formed its own beliefs, fears, stories & felt experiences in order to survive in the demands of the life at that time.What the parts don't know is that they don't need to continue to be in a state of survival & protection anymore. And that when they were formed, it was needed/necessary to survive, but now it's different.You are different.Moment by moment.Day by day.Emerging as a new being, with more awareness, support & tools to support you in navigating the ebs and flows of life.Shadow Work: anything within you that is disowned or unseen.

Life will take on the lens, the view, the belief of that specific part.2. There may be no concept of time, ie: if the part were to speak it would say it fears this feeling going on "forever."3. Usually the part has an agenda in what its trying to do for you-- so you might notice the motive of the part.4. If you are not lit up on life, feeling connected to the oneness of all life: you are in a part.How to remedy a part:1. Label & notice "I am in a part."2. Give this part of you the presence it needed & deserves. Like a friend, just be with it, feel it, listen to it. Take this moment as an opportunity to really "get" its world.3. Feel yourself beyond this part, notice this experience, view of reality is a part of you-- it's not ALL of you.4. Ask the part what it needs.5. Give the part what it needs, even if it doesn't make "logical" sense.6. Patience. Slow down.. there is no where to get.7. Notice how your world view or experience of life might look or feel a bit different now.8. For bigger parts, presence of another human is essential to support the part back to wholeness.9. Depending on the intensity & maturity of the part, the part may come up to be felt, witnessed & presenced many times. In working in the context of Parts Work, we also address protectors & managers that support the underlying parts.It's important to reference when a part of you is online, so that you can also reference your wholeness.That this part of you isn't the totality of who you are.And while the part's world view & lens of reality is exceptionally valid, it isn't necessarily rooted in Truth of what's happening now.The Truth About Parts Work & Shadow Work...Hey there, I’m Dr. Katelyn Means, Euphoria Extraordinaire, ie: Somatic Healing & Awakening Coach… I am likely busting a move on a dance floor nearest you.

You should focus on... Attachment Repair
Image Source
Attachment Repair is beyond the well-known book "Attached."Attachment Repair relates to our primary bonding we experienced in crucial developmental years in childhood. "I know I can reach & be met""I know I can reach & someone will meet me in my emotional body, in my feelings & help to soothe my disregulated nervous system back to connection.""Somebody will be there when I reach. I'm not alone."Attachment Repair involves a sense of safety in connection: to self, to others, to the world & to higher power.“When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.”— Ralph EllisonHow do you know if Attachment Repair is really what you should focus on in your journey?Let’s play “Tick the boxes!” Have you or do you…✅ Have a hard time relying on others.✅ You are dating but feel super anxious & fear being left.✅Desire a fulfilling & meaningful romatic relationship, and feel unfulfilled in your current relationship &/or in your dating life in general.✅ Avoid deep intamacy & connection with others-- including long hugs or extended eye contact. ✅ Feel anxious & overwhelmed in connection with others regularly✅ Feel numb in connection with others often.✅ Fear getting your heart broken or being rejected, so you avoid opening up & being vulnerable.✅ Have a difficult time truly asking for what you need.. or you might not be aware of your needs✅ When your crush doesn't text you back, it feels like a gut punch.. the end of the world.✅ Don't believe that others are there for you & that you can reach and be fully met.✅ You keep to yourself a lot.✅ Have a lone wolf energy-- you don't need people. You got this mentality.✅ Need approval of others to feel okay.✅ Engage in people pleasing tendencies.✅ Have a difficult time letting people see, feel & hear you.. even though that's what you so deeply desire....if you check even 3 of these boxes, then chances are you would highly benefit from Attachment Repair with a trusted mentor, to create space for new experiences in life, beyond your previous experiences in the past. “Every time you're given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint that someone else."-Glennon DoyleGet To Know YourselfAfter all, no one knows you better than you..Attachment Repair is an often misunderstood practice, and while it does involve reaching & being met repetitively, it’s also about FEELING that it's different now-- something different is happening in the meeting of your reach. Orienting to the "now" while also holding younger versions of you that were "missed or dropped" in your reaches.Curious to learn why you are the way you are?Why you react or respond to certain people, situations, environments the way that you do?How you experience romantic relationships & why you might not be fully fulfilled in your relationships?And how to address some of the ways you unknowingly operate from patterns & old belief?Or how you experience safety & connection and how to experience even more depth in connection to yourself & others?Other than learning to restore connection & safety through Attachment Repair, let’s take a look at the Foundation of Attachment Repair.There are 4 Primary Attachments:1. Secure2. Anxious3. Avoidant4. Disorganized: Anxious + AvoidantWhen our attachment systems are ruptured, our relationships and how we relate to the world at large is greatly impacted.When a felt sense of safety is present in one's nervous system, the world is your oyster. From the ground of safety, anything is possible.Without safety, there is no room for the luxury of exploration & expansion.Because attachment ruptures occurred in relationship to another human being, they must be repaired in relationship to another being.The remedy for an anxious, avoidant or disorganized attachment system is intentional, safe, trusted repetitions of reaching & being met with presence to rewire the nervous system & its response to safety, connection & life itself.We are wired for connection.We need each other.Our attachment systems speak to this all pervasive Truth.The Truth About Attachment Repair...Hey there, I’m Dr. Katelyn Means, Euphoria Extraordinaire, ie: Somatic Healing & Awakening Coach… I am likely busting a move on a dance floor nearest you.

So enlightenment is realization.”— Thich Nhat HanhSecondary Healing Recommendation: Somatic HealingSomatic Healing is one of the MOST powerful & effective healing modalities today.The body keeps score.Soma = BodyThe body remembers everything that happened.What happened is not necessarily as important as the nervous system's interpretation of what happened.Memories are imprinted in the felt senses-- in the tissues & energetic body, so to experience new outcomes, a new way of living in the present, one MUST address the somatic body to clear the past & to make real estate for what's to come.To feel the Somatic Body is to access subconcious programming & beliefs, (beyond ordinary thought & conciousness), which gives access to a storehouse of memories that live dormant in the body-- which without awareness, runs your life.With awareness is the opportunity for change & for something new to emerge in your way of being & expereince of life.Somatic Healing = allowing the intelligent wisdom of the body to be felt, unbound & liberated, so you can finally live in alignment with the life you truly desire.Somatic Healing is the #1 thing that changed my life (and continues to do so) after over 20 years in talk therapy.Working with a trusted mentor in Somatic Healing is essential to support the vitality of the Nervous System. Many memories stored in the Somatic Body cannot be processed alone & must be released in relationship to another human being in order for the trauma to be fully released & reprogrammed.
