Shannon Myers, MS, SEP
Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner
Des Moines IA
Shannon utilizes mindfulness and holistic tools to demystify the integration process. Bringing more parts of you into the whole self, integrating the mind, body, spirit, and energy for the Self- Actualization process to unfold.
Her role is to listen to provide support, notice patterns that are ready to shift right now, and teach you realistic somatic tools so that long-lasting change can occur.
Shannon teaches you exactly how to cognitively and somatically interrupt patterns so new changes can load in your nervous system. Repatterning your operating system, your mind-body-spirit.
These changes stick because Shannon works with you to get to the root. Underneath thoughts, beliefs, stories, and even Trauma Responses are often body-based (somatic) implicit memories. These are stored as thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and triggers.
Her role is to get underneath these patterns for integration to stick. Once the patterns are shifted, realistic life-long change happens. And integration becomes achievable, realistic, and permanent shifts are loaded into your nervous system. Creating more authenticity, alignment, and well-being in your health, life, and relationships.
Many journeys can be transformational while some can be confusing. Others can be traumatizing and leave you triggered.
Journeys can also open Pandora's box. Resulting in a rapid spiritual awakening, a Dark Night of the Soul, or an an existential crisis.
Some journeys can lead you to discovering the secrets of the Universe and the truth of who you really are.
Or they can have you questioning your identity or even coming into past, parallel, or future realities.
Some experiences can be traumatic or leave you struggling in your day-to-day life.
Or you simply may find may find yourself questioning many things and wondering what to do with the insight you gathered.
Every journey is unique. What is universal is that the integration process can be helpful with some support. For both transcendental and traumatic experiences.
Integration is the key that unlocks the door to implementing what has been experienced in a journey to making realistic, long-lasting changes that stick.
Getting support and having realistic tools are important to integrating non-ordinary experiences.
Shannon's role is to be curious about your experience, ask questions, and sometimes just be with another human to validate "Did that really happen?"
Her role as an integration specialist is to teach you how to integrate what has been experienced so that you may embody more wholeness, authenticity, and aliveness. Right here and right now.
