About Laurie moore, lmft, phd, cht

Internal family systems gives a safe and empowering place for the different voices of self to be validated. Often our inner infant, child or teenager conflicts with our inner adult. Other times, two diverse aspects of ourself are in battle with one another. This causes a lot of inner anguish and pain. As the various parts of self are given room to express and be validated, new peace of mind, body, emotions and constructive action naturally follows. The process is guided and very simple with profound results.

 The brain is designed to give alerts when danger appears. When the brain becomes locked in loops of perceiving supposed danger that isn’t really dangerous, the physical and emotional loops of painful feeling multiply and amplify. As we are educated on what our brain is doing, i.e. the difference between perceived body damage and real body damage, and given evidence that the body is actually in better condition than perceived, we become ready for the somatic process.  

Somatic observing and embracing often erases layers of emotional habit and connected mental beliefs. When these fabrics of energy remain stuck, encouraged curiosity and witnessing in place of increasing fearful perceptions is taught. As pain is embraced it neutralizes. People who centralize more in the brain than in the feeling are helped to discover underlying belief systems and ways of treating self that are connected to the perceived pain so that changes can be made. 

Some people arrive at the neutral Buddha spaciousness where only love exists. From here, numerous choices on how to respond or interact with self and others in both pleasurable and painful situations becomes available. Finally, clients are helped to reacclimate barometers to good sensations and enjoyable feelings for navigating in the world. This therapy has been inspired by Kali Ray Tri Yoga, the inspirational awakening teaching of Gangaji, and PRT (Pain Reprocessing Therapy) created by Alan Gordon.

Aspects of AEDP  (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) , CBT (cognitive Behavior Therapy), Mindfulness Therapy ,and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)  may  also be included.

Optional Expressive Arts (movement, drama, vocalization and writing) or Christian Biblical based counseling  utilized foundationally in Re-Patterning Therapy the is available on request.

Embrace pain, sorrow and frustration in a facilitated way that will over time bring you to peace, joy, and most of all resolution of the group of disappointments, that wiped away your equanimity. Help is here. Unique and unusual experiences are respected and understood. People of many backgrounds are effectively helped.

Often, we freeze, fight, or flee from non-preferred feelings. This causes OCD, PTSD, depression and anxiety. We are not wrong for this. Culture has taught us to be this way. Re-conditioning in a compassionately safe place is valuable. As we are helped to fully embrace our feelings, the feelings dissipate. Peace and joy are naturally found. We feel uplifted and life becomes much happier.

 Hypnotherapy allows us to relax into the creation of new approaches to life, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. In a more receptive though totally conscious state, we are guided to change self-defeating mental and emotional habits into patterns that facilitate our wellbeing.

Sometimes we just need someone who can understand the unique and complex experiences we are facing and have faced before. When processing the may situations of life, friends and family often add more hurt though aiming to help!  

This therapy treats you with honor, care, and understanding as you work through the realities that different life seasons have brought your way.
