About

Tiffany is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner which is a body-based trauma resolution therapy that heals patterns of tension and disconnection by restoring healthy nervous system regulation. She has studied Indo-Tibetan science practices and Buddhist Psychology extensively, having completed a 4-year training through the Nalanda Institute as well as a 2-year training in Contemplative Studies. Tiffany believes that by reconnecting with the intelligence of the body one is able to restore the natural wisdom we carry to move toward healing and wholeness

She hopes to explore the full range of what it means to be human, addressing not only our pain and wounds, but also developing a greater embodiment of joy, enthusiasm, and satisfaction

Somatic Therapy
What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic Therapy is a bottom-up approach to trauma resolution. Traditional psychotherapy works with the narrative of our experience – talking through events as a way to release their activation or charge. Somatic Experiencing® (SE) deals with what I call the story beneath the story. What is under that narration is an epic dialogue of behaviors, impulses, sensations, images, and emotions that if slowed down and attuned to tell their own story about where trauma lives and how to heal it
This form of alternative therapy was developed by Dr. Peter Levine to address the effects of trauma he saw in his work as a psychologist. Through extensive study of animals in the wild, Levine observed that although regularly exposed to threat, prey do not experience trauma. His research revealed that in releasing the energy accumulated in the nervous system during stressful events, wild animals are able to subvert the prolonged impact of such events. Humans, however, often override this natural way of regulating the nervous system and can remain stuck in survival patterns
Trauma symptoms are the result of a highly activated incomplete biological response to threat, frozen in time. By supporting this frozen response to thaw, then complete itself, trauma can be renegotiated.
Psychedelic Integration
“You are the medicine”
María Sabina
Healing comes in many forms and benefits from many avenues of support. The fragmentation of our culture + world is a result of a conditioning away from connection. We are moving away from our humanness and the rhythms and cycles that keep us balanced.
Plant medicine can help bring us back.
Back into connection with one another, with our own bodies, and with the earth (the greater “body”).
It increases neuroplasticity + neurogenesis which is linked to mood, optimism, and a rewiring of the brain. So more parts of ourselves are coming online and communicating.
What this looks and feels like is possibility, playful curiosity, and the sense of coming home to one’s authenticity.
Through the stellar team at Mycology Psychology, I offer somatic integration sessions to those interested in exploring this medicine.
