Psyche & Soma Therapy with Afnan

Why this works: when we become highly activated, stressed, overwhelmed, or burned out, being on the ground is, well...GROUNDING. When our anxiety is through th...e roof, it can be calming to get closer to the floor. Being close to a stable foundation and allowing your body to be supported by the earth or the floor can help soothe a rattled nervous system. If you’re disabled or unable to get onto the ground, you can modify by placing your back against a wall or planting your feet into the ground.

People usually start therapy because they want support in managing symptoms. Who wouldn’t want to feel better?! Reducing symptoms is just a part of therapy, tho...ugh. Sometimes clients expect for the symptoms to just go away, which is usually aligned with how they’ve been really trying to cope with their pain; repressing, denying, ignoring. We actually find that when we can learn to manage and tolerate our unpleasant feelings and be curious about why they keep trying to get our attention through symptoms, then we can make room for more pleasant emotions and experiences as well. Life isn’t all good and it’s not all bad. It offers both and that’s what makes it rich, complex, and multi-layered. The big work is in making room for it all. #traumatherapist #traumarecovery #fullertontherapist #brea #anaheim #fullerton #yorbalinda #placentia #whittier #orange #psychology #depthpsychology #counseling #healing #therapyisforeveryone #mentalhealth #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildwork #shadowwork #somaticexperiencing #psycheandsomatherapy #anxiety #depression #posttraumaticstress #ptsd #mindfulness #selfcare #ocshrinks

Hi everyone! I'm Afnan and I am a therapist at Psyche & Soma Psychotherapy Group in Fullerton.

This virtual group will be held on Tuesdays 9am-10:30am and is open to all genders. We see this as a struggle in our practice all the time and I'm excited to support your clients who may want this additional resource! Please feel free to share with anyone who could benefit!

This is my second attempt at my intro video. I notice how far I’ve come in feeling comfortable in front of the camera in a matter of months. Part of me questions whether or not my authentic self shines through. I can only hope to convey my passion for mental health, and supporting clients in navigating challenges. **Crossing fingers** #vulnerabilityisstrength #OCtherapist #Fullerton #speakyourtruth #practicemakesprogress #encourageothers
