Evan Ritter, owner of Mountain and Meadow Health, in Sunbury, is now certified in the somatic and psychotherapeutic method of embodied processing, offering both online and in-person sessions.

Embodied processing draws on a range of modalities to help people explore the roots of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, overwhelm, addiction and more.

Ritter says the process begins with finding or creating safety in the body and nervous system. Once a client feels grounded, a trigger can be introduced, such as a current life issue or a memory from the past. “Then we explore this trigger and all the links associated with it with curiosity and nonjudgment,” he explains.

According to Ritter, the body’s innate intelligence guides the process back toward balance. As the session unfolds, clients may experience positive shifts, new insights, softening of protective parts of the body and overall transformation. “These changes happen as we support the process in a safe and regulated way,” he notes.
