IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS AND NOTE ON MENTAL HEALTH

Embodiment Sessions are not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment. The defined categories in the video library do not indicate a diagnosis, treatment plan, or recommendation of any kind, and it is at the discretion of the viewer to decide what best fits their needs.
These Trauma-Informed Yoga practices are intended to be utilized as additives to the self-work you are already doing or perhaps an introduction to your self-work. In some cases, this may be the most accessible way for you to process some of your mental health struggles, and that is welcome too. Anyone who is interested in improving their mental health and quality of life is welcome here with the understanding that this is a yoga practice and not therapy.
Breath work, movement, visualization, and sound techniques to target mental health may cause activation and disregulation in the nervous system. This can bring up uncomfortable or even unsafe feelings that are deeply stored in the brain and body. Be mindful of this possibility and utilize discretion as you explore these practices.
The symptoms that we experience related to our mental health are very nuanced. More often than not, our symptoms may fall under several different mental health categories, and that is normal. Mental health has been pathologized into categories, or ‘diagnoses’ to help us better understand ourselves. However these ‘disorders’ do not define us and are not ALL of us, but simply PARTS of us. Therefore, it may be helpful for you to explore sessions across different categories of this library depending on how you feel. As we grow, change, and evolve, so does our mental health, so I invite you to have an openness and curiosity around what might best fit your needs in this season of life.
