You have done the work. The therapy. The breathing. The books. The vagus nerve videos. And the anxiety is still there. This is not a failure — and this long somatic talk is for you. There is a kindof anxiety that does not leave, no matter how many protocols you try. The mainstream wellness narrative depends on the premise that anxiety is a malfunction that can be optimised away. For a great many people, that is simply not how nervous systems work. Some of us have systems that run warmer, scan more vigilantly, and have their own weather. And the fight to evict that weather is often the heavier burden — not the weather itself. Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Somatic Therapist and Nervous System Specialist (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this is a roughly hour-long somatic talk on what peaceful co-existence with chronic anxiety actually looks like, the cost of staying at war with your own nervous system, and the reframe that changes everything: peace in relationship to anxiety, rather than in its absence.

For the people who have done the work and are tired. Looking for a somatic therapist for anxiety in Dublin, Naas, Newbridge or online from anywhere in Ireland or the world? More at somatictherapyireland.com and blissfulevolution.com.

If something in your life has ended — or is ending — and the next thing has not yet arrived, you are not lost. You are in the in-between. Modern culture has almost no language for the long, strange middle part of any real transition — the part anthropologists like Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner called liminal, from the Latin word for threshold. Older cultures built rituals around it. We did not. So when you find yourself between jobs, between relationships, between identities, between the person you have stopped being and the one you have not yet become, there is no cultural structure waiting to hold you. Of course it feels unbearable. You are doing, alone and unsupported, a thing human beings were never meant to do alone.

Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Somatic Therapist and Nervous System Specialist (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this is a roughly hour-long somatic talk on the in-between. It explains what is actually happening in your nervous system, why the body reads uncertainty as danger, the “false floors” we reach for to escape the discomfort, and a practical, ancient definition of faith as the willingness to take the next honest step on ground you cannot yet see.

For anyone between two lives. You are not lost. You are crossing. Looking for a somatic therapist for life transitions in Dublin, Naas, Newbridge or online from anywhere in Ireland or the world? More at somatictherapyireland.com and blissfulevolution.com.

Stuck staring at a task you know how to do — and physically unable to begin? You’re not lazy. From a nervous-system perspective, you’re in shutdown — what polyvagal theory calls a freeze response. And you can’t bully your way out of freeze; you have to coax the system back. Guided by Abi Beri — Somatic Therapist and Integrative Practitioner (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this somatic meditation explains, in plain language, why “can’t start” is shutdown rather than laziness, why productivity advice misses the mark when you’re stuck, and what actually helps. It includes a 12-minute somatic practice designed to gently bring your nervous system back online. For the smart, capable people who already know what to do — and still can’t get themselves to do it.
