WELCOME

My name is Derek Sheahan and I'm glad you're here.

I HAVE TRAINED IN MANY FORMS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY AND I AM A FACILITATOR OF INTERNAL TRANSFORMATION. WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, I SUPPORT THERAPISTS AND HEALING PRACTITIONERS FULLY SHARE THEIR GIFTS WITH THE WORLD WITHOUT BURNOUT OR EXHAUSTION.

IN THE FOLLOWING TALK I GO THROUGH THE FUNDAMENTAILS ON HOW TO INTEGRATE THE BODY INTO YOUR WORK AS A THERAPIST:

 
 
 
“Calming, compassionate, friendly, and intensely present! Derek is a naturally gifted healer who has earned my utmost respect through our work together. ”
— K.F. Rolfer
“Through Derek’s sincere and trusting presence, he helped me to embody myself more than I had ever done before. ”
— R.S. Bodyworker
“Derek has an amazing ability to intuitively know where you are and to meet you there, gently but firmly guiding you to wholeness. ”
— O.M. Artist
 

PRACTICE | INTER-CLIENT RITUAL

in my experience the most effective way to prepare for a session in just a few minutes is to embody the highest potential for a client’s growth.

This is an incredibly powerful somatic technique and I challenge you to try it once a day for a week before a session and notice the results.

 
 

ARTICLE | SELF-CARE FOR THERAPISTS

Therapists often spend their days caring for others, but it's important not to neglect their own well-being. Prioritizing self-care can help therapists maintain their own mental and emotional health, leading to better outcomes for both themselves and their clients.HERE IS AN ARTICLE THAT COVERS MANY USEFUL TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
