Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are a lot of ways to look at stress. Here's a way of looking at stress that I find useful:
Stress is what happens when your body builds up energy to handle one or more situations, but ends up rallying more energy than is necessary to handle those situations well. For example, you have to do your taxes? So your body pumps out a bit of cortisol to get you focused enough to take it seriously. Great. But what happens when your body just keeps dumping cortisol till you feel overwhelmed and exhausted? That's stress.
With Somatic Experiencing, we work together to teach your body how to use just enough energy to get the job done, and then let go of that energy once the job is finished. Rally, execute, then rest. Viola, less stress.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Stress factors in to all of our lives and each one of us handles stress differently. Research has found that stress wreaks havoc on our physical bodies and our emotional lives. 2020 was particularly hard on many people as stress mounted due to a global pandemic, physical and social lockdown and isolation, loss of jobs, illness, death, and political discord. These stressors often outweigh the resources that we have and begin to take a toll on the way we feel and our relationships with ourselves and others. It is my goal to bring these stressors to light and find ways to navigate each individuals world in order to find more peace and balance even within the chaos.

Chronic stress can affect sleep, mood, focus, and relationships, and it can start to feel like constant background noise. We will identify what is driving the overload and what keeps it stuck. The work often includes boundaries, pacing, and tools for calming the nervous system, along with addressing the expectations and pressures that may be fueling the strain.

Stress can show up in many ways: feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from yourself. It often builds over time and can remain in the body as well as the mind. Drawing on my experience as a yoga instructor, I integrate an awareness of the mind-body connection to help you better understand your stress, develop more sustainable ways of coping, and reconnect with a greater sense of balance and ease.
