Riven Barton, PhD, CTS, understands deeply that the body remembers what the mind wishes to forget. Hardwired to record trauma and negative experiences within our nervous systems, this wiring is critical for survival. However, when natural responses such as fight, flight, fawn, or freeze aren't fully expressed, these responses can become interrupted. As a result, the body may struggle to recognize safety, leading to manifestations of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, O.C.D., relational challenges, and various physical and psychological disorders. In Riven's therapeutic approach, clients are guided to complete these essential survival responses, fostering a sense of safety and presence. Together, they work to reset the nervous system and release the physical and psychological grips of past events, ultimately inviting in greater agency and curiosity. With a less intimidating world, clients have ample opportunities for discovery. Leveraging training in Somatic Experiencing and a background in Depth psychology, Riven is dedicated to helping individuals achieve a state of well-being, enabling them to seek out more meaningful and fulfilling experiences in life.
