Pain is often a sign that something has to change. Our hearts and bodies often give us a message we fail to pay attention to. Ironically, we are all so aware of pain, can hardly ignore it, but we rarely hear what it has to say. It is true that we may need to withstand great pain, great heartache, great disappointment, and loss in order to unfold into the rest of our life. But our pain may also be showing us exactly where we need to change.
Through Rubenfeld Synergy, you will learn how to listen to your body, your pain, your heartache, your body's story, and importantly, what needs to be heard.
It is a very safe, gentle, supportive approach to become aware of what your body needs to say and what you need to hear.
To experience Rubenfeld Synergy will be a life changing experience - it is very different to move through life listening to your body rather than your head. Your body is your alia, it will help you to make decisions, it will assist you in becoming more aware of the emotional content that you hold or suppress in your body. When you release emotional stories, you feel lighter, happier, and know you are in a better place.

RUBENFELD SYNERGY METHOD® FACT SHEET
WHAT IS THE RUBENFELD SYNERGY METHOD®?
The Rubenfeld Synergy Method® (RSM) is a unique therapeutic approach that combines the power of gentle touch, talk and compassionate listening to tap inner resources for improving health and wellness, in all aspects of the self: body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Throughout life, stress, memories and emotions are stored in our body. These ‘holdings’ show up as tensions, aches and pains and can cause us to feel chronically tired, emotionally drained and disconnected. Chronic stress and tension can manifest as dis-ease when we repeatedly ignore our body’s way of communicating to us.
RSM helps us to learn to listen to our bodies, and become aware of habitual patterns and tensions and translate their messages, empowering us to make concrete improvements in our daily lives and relationships.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A RUBENFELD SYNERGY® SESSION?
Clients are fully clothed and may lie on a cushioned table or sit in a chair. The Synergist, as a caring facilitator, creates a safe and accepting environment and skillfully weaves together a combination of touch and talk to heighten the client’s awareness in the body. Clients are invited to notice physical sensations and express any feelings and thoughts that may emerge. The Synergist supports and intuitively deepens the client’s experience with touch, talk, movement and/or imagery. They safely explore habitual holding patterns, repressed emotions and distorted perceptions of self and others.
Sessions are generally 45-60 minutes in length. Boundaries are always respected and sessions are strictly confidential. The amount and frequency of the sessions depends on the individual’s needs. Unlike many other therapeutic modalities, in RSM, the client is an equal and active participant in their own healing process.
WHAT DOES THE RUBENFELD SYNERGY METHOD® DO?
The result of this gentle interactive process is an accessing of hidden psycho-physical “blocks” that can lead to the release of stress and tension and an empowered sense of emotional and physical wellbeing. With new awareness, comes the possibility of changing limiting behaviors. RSM uses the body as a doorway to the self. In the process of listening to their bodies, clients often have the experience of ‘coming home to themselves’.
Some of the reported benefits of the Rubenfeld Synergy Method® include recovery from physical and emotional trauma, pain management, increased ease of movement, improved body image and greater self-esteem.

The principles and theoretical foundations of Rubenfeld Synergy Method (RSM)
The principles and theoretical foundations of Rubenfeld Synergy Method (RSM)
1. Each individual is unique:
Rubenfeld Synergists approach clients and their sessions with this principle of honoring their uniqueness.
2. The body, mind, emotions and spirit are dynamically interrelated:
Each time a change is introduced at one level, it has a ripple effect throughout the entire system.
3. Awareness is the first key to change:
By bringing the unconscious into awareness, clients have the opportunity to explore alternate choices and to develop possibilities for emotional, physical and psychophysical change.
4. Change occurs in the present moment:
Clients may experience memories of the past and fantasize about the future, but change itself can occur only in the present.
5. The ultimate responsibility for change rests with the client:
Rubenfeld Synergists can support clients to recognize dysfunctional behavior and guide them to try new ones. They cannot force clients to change.
6. Clients have the natural capacity for self-healing and self-regulation:
Innate healing ability already exists in clients, waiting to be actualized. Rubenfeld Synergists do not "cure" or "correct" but rather facilitate clients' healing.
7. The body's energy field and life force exist and can be sensed:
Rubenfeld Synergists use gentle touch to sense energy, its pulions and movement. When tight holding patterns in the body/mind are released, there is a marked change in the energetic quality.
8. Touch is a viable system of communication:
Rubenfeld Synergists develop "listening hands" to dialogue with clients, thus opening new gateways to their unconscious mind.
9. The body is a metaphor:
Clients' postural positions and movements may represent emotional issues in their lives.
10. The body tells the truth:
Often what clients communicate verbally is not congruent with their body's story. Rubenfeld Synergists guide their clients to listen to their body's message.
11. The body is the sanctuary of the soul:
Rubenfeld Synergy sessions may progress toward a spiritual dimension when clients deal with their "soul" issues—questioning their life values in relationships, families, communities and the world.
12. Pleasure needs to be supported to balance pain:
Rubenfeld Synergists help clients contact their strengths and joy so that they can experience pleasure to balance pain.
13. Humor can lighten and heal:
Appropriate humor, not sarcasm, interrupts habitual, painful patterns. Laughing invites deeper breathing, releases tense muscles and can heal pain.
14. Reflecting clients' verbal expressions validates their experience:
When clients hear what they have said, they often use this opportunity to reflect on their initial statements and take them to a deeper level.
15. Confusion facilitates change:
Confusion ususally interrupts habit patterns, creating a window of opportunity in which the client can experiment with new and non-habitual behavior.
16. Altered states of consciousness can enhance healing:
Altered states are pathways to the unconscious mind. They facilitate heightened awareness and enable clients to access physical and emotional memories that still inhabit their bodies
17. Integration is necessary for lasting results:
Many physical problems change when their associated emotional material is processed. Unless clients integrate their new insights and behaviors into their daily lives, they may revert back to their previous problems.
18. Self-care is the first step to client care:
Rubenfeld Synergists are trained to take care of themselves from burnout by maintaining personal boundaries, paying attention to their physical environments and listening to their bodies, minds and emotions.
