Ben Shechet

My primary aim in working with clients is to create a warm, attuned space where all parts of you feel welcome, no matter how they feel or show up. From this space of relational safety, I hope to help clients turn toward their immediate felt and sensed experience. It is contact with what is right here in the moment that begins to help stuck places untangle and hurts to heal. I often hold this process through the language of IFS, encouraging conversation and dialogue with different parts in order to understand their origins, motives, beliefs, and fears. The felt experience of the body plays a critical role in this exploration, so I also seek to support clients in learning to listen to the stories their bodies hold. As these stories express and are witnessed, the body begins to relax, open, and return to greater ease.
