The A, B, & C of Reclaiming Power
Art Therapy – Any form of art is cathartic, and Sherry Lou’s incorporation of art into her therapy sessions reiterates that. Sherry uses Art Therapy on her clients who are dealing with eating disorders, and guides them on a transformative route. She recalls how many of them are not sure about therapy because they are not into art. Sherry had to explain to them that it was not about creation, but it was about expressing themselves in a manner that was comfortable for them. The ‘Art Journal’ she lets her clients take home. Art has its way of letting your emotions, and Sherry does exactly that when she deals with the trauma and insecurities of her clients. In one such session, she speaks about being called out by one of her clients about her eating disorder and falling back into the same unhealthy patterns. Sherry reflects on how that calling out by the client enabled her to investigate her insecurities, which she had been hiding for a while.
Breathwork – Breathing exercises have a lot of advantages when it comes to balancing the energy. Inhaling the right amount of oxygen and practicing proper breathing techniques is a good way to let go of the toxicity inside you. Sherry Lou speaks about the power of breathing and introduces her clients to breathwork. She feels the best way to find the root cause of stuck energy within is by using somatic breathwork exercises. Somatic breathing exercise is good for trauma patients.
Compassion Statements – Sherry Lou’s healing sessions give importance to giving compassion statements to her clients. Words play a key role, and Sherry sees transformation in her clients when showing them compassion. Often, victims of narcissistic abuse have not experienced kind words or affection at their homes, and these kind words can make them feel worthy and loved. Sherry says this much-needed usage of compassionate words is a game changer, and is the best technique to lead them to self-care, self-discovery, and self-love.
Energy Work – The power of energy has always been underplayed, and Sherry Lou taps into that aspect with expertise. Good energy and bad energy can be transmitted through the womb, and while growing up in homes where the clients are subjected to narcissistic abuse and trauma. Sherry shows how working on energy can lead to healing and reclaiming their lost power. Narcissistic abuse can take away power, and this is where energy work comes in to help and fill them with abundance.
Sherry Lou’s transformative sessions and healing tools guide her clients to use them depending on their needs and the depth of their abuse. It varies from client to client so that they can regain their power, strength, and self-confidence.
