A client said this to me recently after I’d used an eye movement technique that completely desensitized a painful memory he’d been carrying for years in just one session. So I whittled a witchy wand when I was away this weekend at a gathering, not of witches but ecotherapists, and showed it to him today. He appreciated my joke. And I love my wand 🧙‍♀️🪄.

… I had a 2 hour session with a client who wanted to explore and make sense of why she finds present day relationships that are important to her difficult. She used moss, stones, leaves and twigs to create a 3-D assembly of her family of birth and discovered some information and truths that surprised her about the unconscious family dynamics and ‘assignment’ of roles in her childhood. With this knowledge, she left the session clearer and excited to come back next week to start processing those experiences using somatic and embodied practices (including movement and artwork). This will enable her to respond going forwards not from the painful wound that developed in her childhood but from a more grounded, ‘here and now’ and regulated state as the adult she is today.
If you’re interested to free yourself from stuck patterning, take a look at my website (in the bio). I offer flexible therapy sessions and would be pleased to have an initial chat with you if that sounds interesting and useful for you.🍃

Or rather last week in the woods (I was taking a break from work), the natural world was busy doing its own thing, but this time with no humans to witness it or interact with it. The robins, buzzards, butterflies 🦋 , trees, bracken, wood mice and deer 🦌 got on with life - and death - as usual. Did they notice that we weren’t there? I don’t know. Did my clients miss their weekly deep immersion in and connection with nature, as a way to understand themselves and heal from painful relationships, experiences and memories? I don’t know. I’ll be asking them when we meet again in the woods this week.

I went to Wales needing to just enjoy ‘being’. I came back inspired in so many ways and ready to allow time for the ideas to percolate and see where they lead me to….

Celebrating with my good friend, my dog, a flask of tea and homemade cinnamon buns, we sat for an hour and a half soaking up the beauty, magic and stillness of the moment.

We often read or hear that spending time in nature is beneficial for us, but we don’t often get much detail about why. In my latest blog post: https://www.lucindaweis.com/blog-posts/nature-as-medicine, I share with you just some of the many ways in which nature boosts our mental, physical and emotional health. Once you’ve read it, you’ll be rushing to get out there! Please share the link with anyone you think may benefit - and I’d love to hear how nature benefits your health. 🍃💞🌼

… a client explored her relationship with rest. She shared how hard it can be to rest when there’s so much that needs her attention. Stopping to enjoy time to herself can lead her to feel guilty, self-indulgent and lazy. At my invitation, she slowed down and allowed herself just ‘to be’ in the wood. She noticed how the natural world is rarely in a rush and when it is (e.g a hunting creature), it takes time to rest. She noticed her nervous system calming, her heart-rate coming down and her sense of panic reducing. What’s more she also felt energised and calmly alert. She was surprised to hear of the many mental, physical and psychological benefits rest offers us. And left the session intending to give herself the permission more often to down tools and rest.
