Welcome to Melanie Murray Therapy

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear,  dissociation and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.

Somatic Experiencing Therapy (SE) is a method for healing trauma. The client learns to track sensations in the body and regulate their nervous system to move themselves out of fear and into health. The client may experience gentle energy releasing from the body, tingling, or mild shaking in session.  

The effect of SE, once the trauma is released, is a sense of well being, a freedom  from the emotional, psychological and physical restrictions of  fear, a return to inner strength, resilience and joy. This modality was developed by the internationally acclaimed Peter Levine  and is supported by the most recent neuroscience research in Trauma resolution. 

                                   "I have come into this world to see this:

                                      the sword drop from men's hands 

                                     even at the height

                                     of their arc of anger

                                     because we have finally realized 

                                     there is just one flesh

                                     to wound."                                            - Hafiz

Are you tired of waking up depressed with a heavy feeling of the emotional weight of a hundred problems on your shoulders, as well as, excess pounds on your body? Perhaps you are experiencing difficulty motivating yourself to do anything healthy? Is your mind a whirl of repetitive thoughts of "what is wrong with me?" Perhaps you've tried reading self help gurus, solicited advice from friends, taking antidepressants, or self medicating with alcohol, food, shopping or sex.  Nothing is working; no quick fix, or positive affirmations. The reason this has not worked is that the solutions do not exist on the level of the mind that created them in the first place. The answers you seek live within you, on another level of your psyche. 

You may need help connecting to your inner healer, because it is your own heart you have come to distrust. The emotional, spiritual and physical levels of your being need to be involved for true and lasting change to occur. What I have come to understand through my own healing journey is that we are all inherently wired to know and connect with our essential nature, discovering this for ourselves is the journey!
