Has anyone explored trauma-informed approaches in complementary energy practices?
Has anyone dug into trauma-informed ways of doing complementary energy healing stuff, like making sure it's super gentle and respects boundaries?
Lately I've been thinking about this because a couple years back I went through some rough emotional stuff after a bad breakup, and regular relaxation techniques just felt too pushy sometimes. I started wondering if there's a better way to incorporate energy practices without triggering old feelings, you know? Like focusing on creating that real sense of safety and letting things release at their own pace. Curious if others have tried this approach.

Yeah, I totally get where you're coming from with that. I've had my own share of ups and downs with stress and old emotional baggage, and what helped me a ton was finding a practitioner who really emphasizes a compassionate, gentle style—nothing forced, just letting the energy flow naturally while keeping everything super safe and client-focused. For instance, I tried some reiki sessions in London https://reikiinlondon.com/treatment/reiki-sessions-london/ that were all about relaxing in a calm space, fully clothed, with light touch or even no touch if preferred, and it honestly left me feeling more balanced and lighter without any overwhelm. It's cool how it can support nervous system regulation and emotional release in a low-key way, especially when combined with other therapies. Definitely made me appreciate that heart-centered, personalized vibe more.
