Integrative Container

This is an alternative and holistic approach to personal growth and transformation. Our collaborative work together will journey through the personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal. 

Within a safe container of personalized 12 sessions together (or longer), we'll work towards your specific goals. As an example a typical container may consist of 6 somatic healing based sessions followed by 6 reflective sessions, with parts work and/or attachment work woven throughout as specific to you. I’ll share exercises in between sessions for you to bring into your daily life or for reflection and you’ll have access to me throughout the container for personalized support.

Resolve and thus release trauma from the body through somatic healing, properly integrate, and then use that new space within you to consciously grow through psychosynthesis coaching and my other developmental tools.

We humans, like everything else in nature, are meant to continuously transform. So if you're feeling stuck, burdened by stress or trauma, have awareness of an un-empowering pattern in your life repeating, or simply seek to grow personally, relationally, or spiritually, with the right resources, wisdom, and lots of compassion, we can evolve consciously and gracefully together.

I don't want to get you stuck in a cycle of fixing and healing though. I want to get you out of it. So you can just be, unfolding in real time.

  • Remove layers of protective or conditioned identity and become more aware of your authentic self, with confidence and innate self-worth.

  • Learn to feel your emotions, listen to the wisdom of your body, and self-regulate in your daily life, and gain compassionate resilience for life’s ebbs and flows, big or small.

  • Manage your life more directly, attuned to your true ideals, guided by your own intuition, and have clarity on steps towards your authentic goals.

  • Become more open to life and vulnerable with yourself and others, creating trusting relationships beyond avoidant or anxious limitations.

  • Make meaning out of what otherwise binds us, connect to a sense of inner and outer purpose, and navigate questions of meaning or spirituality with openness.

Benefits of the container

My path of transformation

Integration is wholeness.

  • Radical acceptance, honesty, and awareness is power and the prerequisite to change. Once we're aware and accepting of a limiting pattern, we can change it.

    Acceptance is the present moment.

    Lack of awareness and lack of acceptance leads to self-victimization and perpetual cycles of the same unempowering patterns. Victimization is the antithesis of healing.

  • Self-compassion is integral to any type of healing work or transformation. With compassion, we can truly be and stay in the present, holding what needs to be transformed.

    It’s compassionate presence or a loving presence that lets us fully feel and fully be human.

  • Our emotions are embodied experiences and must be consciously expressed or they keep us in heightened reactive or stress patterns that manifest across mind and body.

    Our life force is our will that keeps us open to life and gives us meaning. But this life force can only be expressed through an open connection between mind, body, soul/heart, and spirit.

    Feeling is healing and requires compassionate presence to be with the full spectrum of those feelings so they can move through us. This is what it means to be.

  • You have a whole world within you. But many of us have one or two sub-personalities who have over-matured out of survivial or adaptative strategies, leaving other parts of us buried or lost to past moments of time.

    Our inner complexity leads to inner tension, feelings of “stuckness,” confusion, and limiting beliefs.

    The process of integrating various aspects of yourself is how we grow, individuate, and self-actualize. It’s how we expand our consciousness, becoming more than just who we thought we were.

    As a brief overview:

    • Inner Child Parts | The Freudian ID | The Moon Archetype | Insecure, fears, lacks objectivity, and stuck in the past.

    • Inner Parent Parts | The Freudian Superego | The Saturnian Archetype | Insecure, overly self-critical, critical of others, and stuck in rigidity.

    • Inner Adult Parts | The Freudian Ego | The Sun Archetype

    We'll tap into resources you didn't even know you have and reshape how you think about the parts of you kept hidden, unleashing creativity and expansiveness.

  • The relationship with our true self is reflected outwards with others. Attachment refers to the deep emotional connections formed early in life that influence how we relate. This dimension focuses on uncovering your true essential needs and gentle attachment system repatterning, bringing just the right amount of love and care to old survival strategies.

    You are not an attachment style. Attachment is also nuanced, and we all have layers of these behaviors and adaptations, presenting in different ways and at different times.

    From avoidance, anxious, and disorganized, we’ll work together to repair and feel more secure with ourselves and others.

  • The transpersonal is a source of inspiration and intuitive trust to unfold who you were meant to be in each moment. The transpersonal self is wise, compassionate, in an endless state of becoming and transformation, and is connecting to something much more than each of us alone.

    But only in working through the pillars above can we engage the transpersonal from a place of grounded presence and, importantly, with an open mind and heart rather than a wounded ego.

    The reason transpersonal experiences like psychedelics or lucid dreams can be so transformative is because they expand our consciousness, beyond just the limitations of personal separatism. This is an important part of the healing journey.

  • You cannot be what happened to you or the survival strategies you adopted as your “personality” or you will always cycle back to those patterns. You are not just a series of parts either - the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. You must disidentify from all of this.

    This is the biggest reason so many heal from trauma or addiction only to go right back to those patterns shortly after. Traditional psychology cannot navigate this though because if you are not what happened to you, who are you?

Hi, welcome, I’m Susan Reis. I integrate somatic and attachment trauma healing and spiritual psychology coaching.

I work with those experiencing a range of life stressors but who seek to grow personally, relationally, and spiritually. I focus on presence (the essence of healing), repatterning the nervous AND attachment systems, and making meaning that inspires you to move forward.

In this container together, we’ll utilize any of my wide-ranging resources and tools to best work through your unique goals. Resolve and release trauma from the body through somatic healing, properly integrate, and then use that new space within you to consciously grow through psychosynthesis and other developmental tools.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
