Using this interactive approach, you can be guided to map out your feelings, thoughts, behaviours and sensations as they relate to your autonomic nervous system, and identify ways you can get back to feeling like your true self again. Benilda can also integrate breath work, imagery, mindfulness, meditation, psycho-education, and expressive arts into your sessions.
