Laurie Finnegan, LCSW & Colorado Coherence Collective

In a world inherently full of scarcity, violence, unpredictability, and a lack of meaningful inclusion, many bodyminds develop dis-stress, dys-regulation, dis-ease, and other adaptive trauma responses. To achieve mental wellness, we must maximize abundance, safety, and predictability within both our environments/social contexts and our own bodyminds. My clients and I work together as equal partners, prioritizing their lived experience and self-determination, to advocate for meaningful inclusion within their social contexts and experiment with new somatic, movement, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and social strategies to replace disempowering Stress Response System patterns with more empowering ones. I encourage my clients to reattune to their authentic selves and inner wisdom using Radical Openness: openness to change and commitment to reframing unwanted or distressing bodily sensations, emotions, or thoughts as opportunities for growth and learning. Together we will adopt a trauma-assumed systems perspective to develop nonjudgemental self-compassion, rely on culturally inclusive and non-pathologizing abolitionist lenses to unlearn harmful value and belief systems (such as internalized ableism and productivity/urgency culture), and learn how to activate social safety in our nervous systems using relational neuroscientific somatic strategies.
