Imprinting, memory and somatic healing:

Most of us don’t remember early imprints cognitively and consciously because, as prenate’s and newborns, we are imprinted somatically and in our limbic brain (the emotional brain). These early imprints are, however, very easy to access and require no techniques. Early imprints are no less powerful for their lack of cognition. They are very pervasive and express themselves in how we feel about the world, life, others, and ourselves. They show up a lot in our relationship and attachment patterns, and health issues. They affect us at all ages, on all levels.

Early imprinting doesn’t get re-patterned by talking about it. Talk therapy may help you to discover more about the story of what happened, but it won’t change the imprinting itself. This is why somatic work is so important for this work to be successful. It really makes the difference. Early imprints are in the body – both the physical and energetic bodies.

New internal resources:

As you heal, and re-connect with, your very early life, building new internal resources where we previously didn’t have any help or connection to another, are important. Isolation and separation are common experiences when you have early trauma. Loving, empathic connection re-patterns the imprints and breaks the isolation that we felt ‘back then’. Support and new resources are added to our system allowing us to build new neural pathways, take better care of ourselves, and to feel more connected. Building your internal adult skills are important too, so that you can better parent yourself. We all need a competent, loving adult self who can take care of our younger selves when they need care. Sometimes we need help to build this new resource so that our Little One’s within are not running our lives.

Some examples of internal resources are:

learning to orient to where you are inside of yourself (e.g. in a young part, in your adult, triggered into an imprint, resourced, etc).

To feel more embodied, able to notice when you are out of your body, and have the ability to come back into your body at choice.

Having the ability to recognize when you are triggered into an imprint that is not about present time reality, and to soothe yourself – return to a regulated nervous system.

Have a more developed sense of an internal adult/caretaker/essence self so you can take really good care of yourself, especially when triggered or challenged.
