Benefits of CST for Children
Cranial Sacral Therapy is a wonderful therapy for children.
The birth process if viewed from the parents perspective, it can seem easy, "oh it was a quick birth", emotionally "really happy about the baby coming", mother prepared physically consumed healthy foods, exercised, took birthing classes etc.
The physiological stress that babies encounter becomes locked into the nervous system and tissues of the body. This response shows up as colic, asthma, inconsolable crying, trouble nursing, and/or bonding with parents. As children grow older the birth experience is still present in the body just waiting for stress relief.
After cst sessions parents state that their children state that they are happy and sleep soundly.
The infant cranium is soft and malleable, which allows for forces of shearing, twisting/torsion and compression during birth.
Cst allows the body to "unlearn" the past birth experience through subtle, light touch techniques that the child finds relaxing. Parents and caregivers encourage the release of tension by being present in the room during the session.
- resolve bonding/attachment trauma
- increases sense of self/reducing anger & withdrawn behavior
- increase brain integration-comprehension
- realigns the facial bones reducing the need for braces
- reduces nerveous, irritable behavior, digestive disorders
- balances the emotional/mental/physical trauma around adoption
- toddlers, children, pre-teen and teens benefit from CST.
Another concept that I would like parents and caretakers to consider is the psyche.
Some of us are wanted and welcomed into this world, some of us are not so lucky!
Unplanned pregnancies or unwanted pregnancies/adoption may result in trauma to the babies psyche. Unresolved trauma will affect bonding/attachment to his/her parents and future relationships will become a rocky road.
Bonding plays a critical role in developing the babies nervous system. If babies are supported and loved than the nervous system can cycle through fight or flight responses and parasympathetic(involuntary regulation).
The body should be able to cycle between these two systems. Babies grow up and become children, children grow up and become adults. CST can help children "regulate & unlearn" experiences that are locked in the nervous system.
My training and work with adults and children over the years has brought about positive change that can be felt by the client and noticed by family and friends.
My purpose in this work is to help adults and children in trauma resolution, reduce deep tension in the body and integrate the mental, emotional and physical imbalances that occur.
