Natural Processing

Natural Processing (NP) emerged from EMDR and other somatic-focused trainings.

"Foundational to NP is a deep understanding of our 'drive for completion,' on every level. Inherent dilemmas arise in many forms, such as competition between 'drives for completion' and 'drives for survival'. Full engagement in the dynamics that are evident, moment-by-moment, with a strong somatic focus brings the details to life. These vital dynamics are then more accessible to processing. Use of bilateral stimulation further enhances the client’s ability to grow towards resolution.NP emphasizes pacing the work, tracking resiliency, and deepening processing that engages the nature of healing capacities. We can set the conditions for growth, and then closely nurture and 'trust the process.'”
