About
Marianne H. Hennigar CMT
On this site I am developing a way of describing a naturally occurring healing process in terms not common to the healing community or society at large.
I see pain as a communication from our minds and bodies. Where we hurt communicates what we are hurting about. When we experience pain emotionally and or physically the standard is to speak of symptoms and pathology of some sort.
There are some powerful modalities which specifically address trauma and yet I postulate that trauma is part of a broader system of unprocessed experience.
Insight Healing Ministries, Psycho-emotive Anatomy TM is a body based approach addressing physical and emotional experience. These can be indicating trauma or unprocessed experience. For example a 3 year old processes separation from mom very differently than a 10 year old.
Throughout our lives we have differing and evolving processing skills. The small and large things we experience throughout our day impact us on the spectrum of experience from low excitability on up through severe trauma. We store these experiences in our bodies, saving them for later review when we might have developed the capacity to complete the experiential cycle. Peter Levine PhD, author of Waking the Tiger, refers to this as completing the trauma cycle.
In 1994 I received my certification as a clinical sports massage therapist. Psycho-emotive Anatomy (P-e Anatomy) developed over 13 years of massage practice and was designed to help those in pain help themselves.
P-e Anatomy serves to identify emotional cofactors that express as physical pain. Sometimes in the absence of injury, body pain can make itself felt as a language for unprocessed emotional experience. This approach recognizes the entire body as the repository of memory with the brain as the reasoning and sorting factor.
It is my goal to offer individuals tools necessary to understand emotional experience expressed as body pain. P-e Anatomy can offer a self empowerment experience for those seeking insight and relief. It allows one to gain greater insight and agency over one's physical and emotional experience.
P-e Anatomy revealed itself to me in the form of patterns of pain from one client to the next. When a person would report a painful area they often would speak about their daily lives and past experiences. This is how I noticed the patterns. What was revealed is that specific areas of pain are often coupled with specific unprocessed emotional experience.
I noticed through my clients that these naturally occurring markers of pain were either universal in the reporting of experience, or unique to the individual. Additionally, clients would often reveal similarity of experience tagged to specific body parts.
There is also often a layered effect to unprocessed experience. I observed that bodily pain presents as a language reflecting unprocessed emotional experience from both the present and past. If unrecognized, pain and dysfunction can escalate. Conversely, when an accurate identification is discovered, the pain is alleviated or goes away completely.
Insight Healing Ministries employs touch work in combination with Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting techniques. These two talk modalities support processing through one's neurobiology and are well established as effective tools to assist clients to harness their own internal resources to support healing.
Client sessions are conducted in person or remotely, reflective of these sensitive times. Sessions are run through a guided body based focus. Some sessions are completed with a therapeutic touch and hands on healing component.
If in person, all Covid 19 precautions are observed and exercised. Because of my clinical sports massage training and background I may make suggestions for exercise or direct you to seek care of a health professional who can address any specific issue beyond my skill set.
If you are interested in a session please use the contact page or email me. I look forward to working with you.
* Please note, I am in ongoing training in Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting. Students seeking certification in these two disciplines are encouraged to incorporate the techniques into their respective practices. I am slated to complete a wellness coach certification through the Mayo Clinic in April of 2021. Additionally, my continued research in Psycho-emotive Anatomy is reflective of my graduate studies seeking a Master's Degree in Psychology.
