Our brains and bodies are constantly communicating to us about how we are doing, how comfortable or uncomfortable we feel moment to moment in our lives, and how we feel about the people around us. Emotions and feelings are our principal signals to that information. Think of our emotional system as a source of information that provides energy for us to act or not act in productive or unproductive ways.

Physical sensations, emotions and feelings are not trivial experiences. Rather they are the building blocks to how we understand ourselves, the world around us and what actions we take in the moment-to moment choices we have in front of us.  Our interpretations and actions are shaped by many factors, our childhood experience, our current level of stress, our current level of physical pain or discomfort to name a few. And, of course, our understanding of our world and ourselves can and will be distorted at times, leading us to make unproductive and dissatisfying choices.

At the Relate Center, we take seriously these emotional and energetic systems and work to help you develop greater awareness and intelligence in how to use and shape that information to enhance your life. Through both physical and psychological therapies, we work to integrate the body/mind connection to optimize your life.
