Discover the Body of Emotion - Rubenfeld Synergy Method

Rubenfeld Synergy Training offers the most powerful, most complete advanced bodymind training available.
The Body Mind Connection - The Rubenfeld Synergy Method has been in the forefront of practicing and teaching the connection of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit for over 30 years.  Recent research is shifting our view of health.  People can no longer be treated in a compartmentalized manner.  New excitement in the healing arts is emerging as scientists and doctors who are studying the brain and the mind have been shown the necessity for an integrated method.  Rubenfeld Synergy Method is a leader in such an approach.

Rubenfeld Synergy Method uses the power of town to tap the inner resources necessary for deep healing.  Stress, memories, and suppressed emotions are stored in our bodies, affecting our health and well-being.  These "holdings", "tensions" and "aches" cause us to live feeling chronically tired, emotionally drained and physically disconnected.  Chronic stressors can manifest physically as disease.

Rubenfeld Synergy Method helps us learn to listen to the body.  Our body holds the truth about who we are in our core.  Through listening, we become aware of habitual patterns and tensions.  We can then make new choices, transform old patterns, and bring concrete improvements to our daily lives and relationships.  By understanding the relationship between our body and our emotions we can understand ourselves deeply and can claim greater role in our well-being.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Program

What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?


Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a type of anxiety disorder that is triggered by a traumatic event. You can develop post-traumatic stress dis-order when you experience or witness an event that causes intense fear, helplessness or horror.

Many people who are involved in traumatic events have a period of difficulty adjusting and coping and experience troublesome memories, flashbacks, nightmares, sleep problems, and general numbing of emotional responses. These symptoms may completely disrupt your life.

Do you feel stuck and can’t move forward. We can help you!

Body-Mind Approach Rubenfeld Synergy Method(®) with Traditional Counseling!

Your first session you will experience a holistic body mind approach in your healing of your body. Your body is the place where your emotions, thoughts, and memories live. It is the container of your life story. It registers and records the events of your life in its cells. Your body has a language of its own. Your heart beats with excitement or you get a knot in your stomach, or when a loud sound goes off with no notice, your body reacts with fear and anxiety. These are the ways that your body “talks to you” and speaks its truth.

Your second session you will experience a safe place to explore the intricacies of your story, a place where you can begin to let down your guard and enter into the deeper places in your soul.

Through talk therapy, you will form a therapeutic alliance where, together, we will work through your life concerns.

Are you ready to start to walk down the path of healing?

Who Is That Pain In Your Neck? Listening to Your Body’s Messages - RUBENFELD SYNERGY METHOD®

RUBENFELD SYNERGY METHOD®


Who Is That Pain In Your Neck?

Listening to Your Body’s Messages
 
Who can forget the old song, “I gotta wash that man right outta my hair”? Well, believe it or not, sometimes a painful break-up, a job lay-off, even an old memory from childhood can leave messy traces of emotional residue in or on the body; and it takes a little more than shampoo to get rid of it! Today’s fast paced society might rely on catchy quick-fix slogans like, “Get over yourself!”, “No pain, no gain!”, or “He’s just not that into you!” But often uncomfortable experiences (especially those involving grief, sadness, confusion, betrayal, abandonment, unworthiness or anger) get swept under the rug, only to resurface disguised as physical “dis-ease”. Even the most successful, confident, well-adjusted people encounter life experiences that leave them with unresolved feelings which sometimes masquerade as conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, seasonal affective disorder, insomnia, even tennis elbow!


Understanding this hidden link between what happens in the mind and what shows up in the body is the beauty behind a groundbreaking therapeutic healing technique called the Rubenfeld Synergy Method®. Developed by Ilana Rubenfeld in 1977, Rubenfeld Synergy is one of the most effective solutions for addressing stress, trauma, anxiety, tension and discomfort. It is a proven method that incorporates light touch with guided dialogue in a way that allows the body the freedom to uncover the sources of physical stress and discomfort. The results include accessing and releasing hidden physical/emotional tension stored in the body and restoring and maintaining health and wellbeing.

When Kay* discovered the Rubenfeld Synergy Method®, her goal was just to address the feeling of neck and back strain that was causing her sleepless nights. Her grandmother had been arthritic, and experienced achy muscles, but Kay had a “gut feeling” that this was more than just a sign of getting older. Kay had some prior experiences with massage, Reiki, and other forms of bodywork, but was pleasantly surprised by what she discovered with Rubenfeld Synergy. Kay says, “I tried everything to deal with this problem. Then I found out after a few Rubenfeld Synergy sessions that I didn’t need any more rubs, herbs, pills or potions to get rid of my aches. I just needed help hearing what was inside me. I was looking for what was physically wrong with me. But who knew that the heated arguments I had been having with an old boyfriend had literally become ‘a pain in my neck’! On the outside, I seemed fine, but on the inside I honestly did feel like I was ‘stabbed in the back’. Understanding this connection made all the difference in the world. It helped me let go of the pain.”

Like so many people who experience the Rubenfeld Synergy Method®, Kay was able to feel safe and secure enough to uncover what was beneath the surface of her discomfort. Founder Ilana Rubenfeld explains in her book The Listening Hand, “Emotions and feelings are embedded both in our body and in our brain, and to reach them, we need touch — nonverbal communication — and talk. Through touch you can understand the body's message, and through talk you can understand the brain's, even if the message is "hiding" in the unconscious... I strongly believe that everything — mind and body, thoughts, emotions and feelings, bloodstream and brain, soul and spirit — must be in a state of synergy if we ourselves are to become whole.”

RUBENFELD SYNERGY METHOD® - Can We Talk - What Your Body Would Say If It Could Speak

The Rubenfeld Synergy Method®, “What‟s that?‟”, wondered Kathy C.* when she first met a “Rubenfeld Synergist” at a women‟s workshop. The name may have sounded unfamiliar, perhaps even a little intimidating. But as most people who try the Rubenfeld Synergy Method® soon find out, this unique talk/touch method is anything but complicated or daunting. In fact, it‟s arguably one of today‟s most gentle and effective ways of relieving stress, anxiety, aches, and pains in today‟s society — which misconstrues “no pain” with “no gain”.


Here is what Kathy* had to say when she finally decided to give the Rubenfeld Synergy Method® a try: “For about a week, I was experiencing aches in my shoulders that I thought were just sore muscles from sleeping badly. But they persisted for several days even after taking ibuprofen. So, I figured...why not give Rubenfeld Synergy a try. I had no idea what to expect. But when I got there, the synergist‟s office was very comfortable. She put me at ease on a massage-type table, and right away I started to feel more relaxed. I was surprised when she started my session by putting her hands gently on my feet. She asked permission each time she switched positions to different body parts and I agreed. As she touched each area gently, she asked me questions about how I was feeling and what I was experiencing. It didn‟t even occur to me that she hadn‟t touched my shoulders at all. But it didn‟t matter. My shoulders started to relax as I found myself telling her about the things that I‟d been „shouldering‟ in my life. I had no idea I would be discussing this, but it was true...I‟d been feeling overwhelmed and off balance at work and in my relationships; and it felt like I was carrying the “mother load” around with me. By the time we were done, I had a strange urge to start moving my body like I used to when I had more free time to go dancing. So that‟s what I did later that evening! The shoulder aches were totally gone. No drugs, no physical therapy, no psychiatric counseling. I didn‟t need to change my mattress or quit my job. I just understood that I absolutely had to make more free time for me. I can‟t believe how one session made such a huge difference! I don‟t really know how it works, but it does.”

The Rubenfeld Synergy Method® combines an effective systematic use of touch and talk to allow the body to speak for itself. It starts with the premise that the body already knows what it want and needs. Rubenfeld Synergy recognizes that the mind and body are connected and together they contain tremendous insights. A trained Rubenfeld Synergist facilitates the body‟s ability to open up, “explain itself” and reveal the hidden sources of discomfort as well as the solutions to ease, comfort and wellness. Without drugs or invasive procedures, Rubenfeld Synergy offers a safe, gentle effective way to approach healing and overall wellbeing. It activates the body‟s own internal wisdom.
