VIDEO: Healing can only take place in Safety

Jan Normanton • June 8, 2022

Safety IS the treatment, to return home, to our innate body wisdom and true self

See how this deer interacted with me… we eye gazed for a minute before I thought to record this. I get the sense she felt safe around me.



Physical safety is crucial for my clients to be able to relax and settle into their body in order for any healing to take place.

The environment is paramount to setting a scene of safety, for all my clients and in particular those receiving Trauma Discharge Therapy.

My room is quiet, private, comfortable and welcoming, setting the scene for safety.

Anything discussed is confidential and remains so always.

I undertake a detailed consultation prior to treatments to understand your situation and needs.

That said, disclosure of traumatic events and circumstances is not required to facilitate trauma release.

I am relaxed, open minded and open hearted. I ensure my nervous system is regulated, with deep breathing and grounding techniques. This ensures I am fully present for you and able to hold the space for you and whatever occurs during your session.

As we discuss your needs, we begin to connect and I remain grounded in my sense of self whilst attuning and connecting with you in the non physical, energetic sense.

Mirror neurons mean we are unconsciously clocking each other, sizing each other up, assessing the situation. Your body may start to mirror my unspoken body language and begin to slow down, relax.

You may notice yourself breathing easier and deeper, coming into presence, feeling more grounded. Your nervous system is adjusting to the new environment and recalibrating. You can leave everything else outside the door. For the next few hours, please know you are safe to settle, to be heard, witnessed, validated, held.


Whilst I would wish for no one to experience trauma in their lifetime, I am at peace with my own traumas through consistent and committed therapeutic practices.

I know from experience, Trauma Discharge Therapy worked for me, among other practices, and it is therefore an honour to bring this work to you in the hope it can help you too.

By Jan Normanton January 28, 2025
We can operate from our heads in the distraction and busyness of life and have little regard for our bodies, and in this way we can self abandon and deny ourselves the very essence of being human and to inhabit a congruent internal world
