SP 282: Hanna Somatic Recovery Healing with Chris Ruane

08/11/20 • 75 min

When we get sober, we prioritize healing our mental, emotional, and spiritual health, but what about our physical health? Stress, anxiety, and unprocessed trauma can leave an imprint on the body and affect our health for years to come.

On this week’s SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Practitioner Chris Ruane shares about a lifesaving practice that not only has helped her manage anxiety, stress, and trauma, but helped hundreds of others create lasting change.

Using Hanna Somatics as a pathway to empowerment, this form of body healing is a type of mind-body training that encourages physical and mental control over muscles to reduce pain and teach the brain to re-learn movements. Different from massage, Hanna Somatics creates a healing experience that taps into empowerment, removes barriers that keep us stuck, and can shed a lifetime of negative belief systems in just four sessions.

On today’s SHAIR Podcast, you’ll learn:

How Chris went from becoming a massage therapist to a Hanna Somatics Practitioner
What a Hanna Somatic session consists of
How Hanna Somatics can be a quick way to work through unresolved trauma
Where to find a Hanna Somatics Healing Practitioner near you

Chris Ruane is an educator in the field of movement and wellness, combining a 19 year practice of Hanna Somatics Education and Bodywork, Massage, Pilates, Yoga, Energy, and Breathwork. Her study of alignment and awareness, background as an Irish Dancer, athlete and musician give her personal insight into the mechanisms of chronic pain. Today she helps others learn how to get themselves “unstuck” from the physical and emotional patterns that prevent them from creating the life they want.

SRC 005 - Holding On To What we Want and Neglecting what we Deserve

In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, we helped Chris navigate the uncomfortable world of boundaries. At home during the COVID-19 quarantine with his two adult sons, Chris has found himself engaging in maladaptive coping mechanisms to handle his frustrations.

Even after nine years of sobriety from addiction, he's fearful that his kids still see him as the "Alcoholic Dad." With strained relationships, unspoken feelings, and living in close quarters, he's forced to take a look at the frayed relationships he doesn't want to lose. He must ask himself if it's worth holding onto them, or if he should begin to set boundaries and risk having his sons in his life to be seen in a light that he undoubtedly deserves.

In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, you’ll learn:

How to identify negative patterns we’ve developed to cover up feelings of inadequacy.
How to effectively set boundaries with family members.
How to have deep conversations with loved ones about past addictive behavior
How to get our needs met when we’ve been neglecting them for years, only to please others

SRC 006 - Facing Fear and Breaking Old Habits

“I’m not good enough, I’m not pretty enough, I’m not old enough, period.”

We’ve all told ourselves this at one point or another. When these limited belief systems interfere with our daily lives, they prevent us from living in the present and fulfilling our true potential. These beliefs can get triggered by family, friends, and outer chaos that’s going on in our world when things become uncertain. In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, we helped Liz. In fear about her job, her kids, and the social injustice happening in the world today, we uncovered the root cause of her fear and helped her find ways to begin to live in the solution.

We also helped Bennett. After getting sober, Bennett is having trouble navigating stimulus and response systems. As a great Father, Businessman, and person in recovery, Bennett is looking to break old habits and create new systems that will help him think his way into a better life.

In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, you’ll learn:

How to identify the fears and emotions behind our core beliefs
How to reward ourselves with healthy behaviors instead of reacting to our emotions.
How to tap into our intuition to understand what the truth is about ourselves
How to begin the process of breaking old habits after we get sober
