SOMATIC SARAH
The therepeutic arm of Sister Sarah Productions Ltd
Dogs, especially puppies, and memories of them, are one of my favourite resources
Nature nurtures, contemplating natural objects, being or visualising yourself in nature can bring calm and a sense of being held.
Somatic Creative Therapy combines body awareness using Somatic Experiencing with creative expression & aspects of Neuro Dramatic Play to support positive transformation. Moving out of the head and into the body, tapping into it's wisdom, to uncover intuitive solutions, direction and decision. Tools for self soothing can be accessed instinctively and incomplete past experiences, which may be still held in the body, can have opportunities to release.

Sarah is a calming resource
​
How it works
We touch briefly verbally on the main area or areas to be explored, then, through deep body listening we track sensations inside. This can help to actively release unexpressed feelings or impulses.
When these have moved through the next stage uses positive resources to bring calm, confidence and aliveness into the system.
This allows for an expanded capacity to manage overwhelming feelings or sensations and for settling more comfortably in the present moment.
The body may speak through images in the minds eye, feelings or sensations which have meaning to you.
​
I guide and encourage you to express impulses and identify the best resources for you. Impulses might be any expressive gestures, movements, words or sounds; resources can be anything calming or supportive: creative expression, art or movement, objects that please aesthetically or to touch, memories or imaginings of experiences, people or places which positively balance beside the core issue. The bodily sensations felt in response to these resources are given focus, allowing for their expansion. From a calm, centred, alert and alive position can grow clarity, insight and confidence.
The intention is not to repress or push away uncomfortable feelings but to increase the system's capacity to hold them, be more settled, grounded and vibrant in the present moment.

About
Sarah Hutchinson
Creativity and authenticity have always drawn me. Theatre was my first passion, inspired to tell important stories, convey emotional meaning and truth. Along side theatre training I read widely on psychoanalysis and was very much seeking my own self development and well being through yoga, meditation and Reiki. Setting up a production company I had success funding productions that were aimed at positive social change.
These interests lead me to study Neuro Dramatic Play which uses drama, play, art and movement as therapeutic tools to build resilience, understanding, healthy attachment, emotional expression and more. It is based on the role of these mediums in child development and how they can be used with older children and adults to address early unmet needs in these areas, as well as tools for increased self-awareness and transformation: ndpltd.org
I have brought NDP to outdoor environments in nature with children and families.
Becoming interested in working more directly with clients recovering from trauma I discovered Somatic Experiencing. This seemed to complement NDP and after a trial session with SOSI Internationale founder Giselle Genillard I was hooked. The techniques are highly effective in bringing you into your body and allowing change to arise organically. I love how the body knows what we need when we give it time and space to speak. I see myself as a facilitator, guiding a dialogue between you and your body: sosinternationale.org/about-se
