How You Can Change Your Life When You Are Stuck

Developmental Psychology can help you become

the person you want to be.

One of the keys to changing your life is understanding how you developed in the first place when some crucial things are not working anymore. 

You know you need to make changes.  

I have found it helps to get really clear about how you got to be the way you are. 

You may not know exactly how you are being affected.  

You may be confused about what parts of your early development are making your progress impossible right now. 

And that makes sense because it is usually related to what happened to you before you could talk. So it can be particularly hard to talk about now.

The time before we can talk is when we make meaning of relationships and set up patterns of trust and distrust with others. 

We are figuring out if we are safe and if people and the earth are reliable. 

Can we lean into gravity? 

Can we lean on people when we are struggling? 

So when you find yourself missing a part of yourself in the middle of your one and only life–you need someone skilled at helping you find yourself. 

In the Whole Body Recovery Program I can help you. 

I read the body’s many languages, and I will teach you to read your own body’s signs.  

We will listen to your body’s early patterns to discover the meanings you made long ago, 

“I am worthless. 

I will be abandoned if I share my fears. 

I can’t rest if someone else is unsettled or anxious.” 

I have found that by going back and delving into early developmental patterns, you can make significant changes in your psyche, relationships, and how you feel in your body. 

The problem is most people are afraid to look at their embodiment from a young place because they don’t know what to do when they get there.  Meaning is made at this time of life non-verbally, so you need to work with someone who can see where you are getting stuck and guide you through.

That’s why I created the Whole Body Recovery Program. 

Because I saw this need over and over in so many women in my Somatic Psychotherapy and Movement Practice. 

These women would create a great life and then something would happen. They would get sick, have a health compromised child, or their partner or parents would become very ill. 

They would have sudden life changes like divorce or friendship betrayals. Or it would be incremental, and they would be aging naturally, and just as they were coming into their prime professionally, they would become invisible romantically, socially, and professionally. 

And all of this affected them and how they felt about themselves. 

It brought them invisible shame.  

And, the problem with shame is that it feeds on unconscious beliefs about ourselves-just like our preverbal developmental stages do.

(I will write more to you about shame in the coming days. )

But for now, I will say that nothing transforms Shame into Power like a group of women who really get how valuable you are when you, yourself, don't feel that way. 

That's the Whole Body Recovery Program. 

It's women believing women when they say they need help without compromising anyones’ dignity and power. 

Vulnerability becomes power in a safe group of aware women who are being skillfully guided in how to listen to themselves to reclaim their lifeforce.  

Let’s get Psychophysical!!  

Do you want to reclaim your life force in a new way? 

Workin with the body and the psyche together is powerful medicine. It is the most powerful, playful, and effective way to transform early somatic patterns that underlie the body-mind dilemma of your loss of self. 

I am enrolling the next cohort of the Whole Body Recovery Group Program now. 

I only take eight women in a cohort so I can give lot’s of individual attention to each participant. 

We start in March 2025, and right now is the time to get in.

Schedule a Discovery Call with me here to see if WBRP is right for you. 

We’ll talk about your history with your body from childhood till now, and see if the WBRP can help you rediscover your inner power and support your authentic connection with the parts of yourself you are missing. 

Wishing you an ever deepening your connection with yourself,

Margery

I’m so happy I signed up for Margery's course,

I was hoping to feel more loving,

and now I am able to connect to myself, my family

and clients in a more present and loving way. 

Margery and her team show such gentle kindness,

which creates the open hearted learning.
