Touch Talk Therapy
What is it?
“
”Rubenfeld Synergy is an integrative somatic therapy designed to meet each part of us with compassion, presence, and safety, soothing the nervous system and allowing for new movement and awareness.
The method used by Rubenfeld Synergists centers on the understanding that the body and mind are integrated and inseparable, thus we use the term bodymind.
Our bodymind speaks to us through how we move, hold our bodies, experience pleasure and pain, relate to others.
Synergists teach us to notice the language and metaphors of our nervous system and how, with awareness, they can guide us to greater physical and emotional freedom.”
In a Rubenfeld Synergy Method® session, emotional and psycho-spiritual processing are fully integrated with the somatic patterns in order to harmonize the Bodymind.”

What to expect as a client:
Sessions are done in the privacy of one’s home or in a therapeutic room, and it is discussed with the client before the meeting.
Clients lie fully clothed on a bodywork table or sit in a chair.
Sessions are confidential.
Before touching and at the beginning of the session, the synergist will express verbally that there is touch involved in the session; however, the client has full power to stop touch and the session whenever they want, with or without reason.
Synergists are present with an intention of safety, support, and listening.
Synergists use light, sensitive touch and compassionate dialogue, simultaneously, to track a client’s total bodymind communication.
The limbic system is a group of structures in our brain that regulates emotional, somatic, and verbal expressions.
The Synergists reflect these expressions back to their clients, thereby increasing a client’s awareness of incongruities between what they are saying, what they are feeling, and what they are doing.
Through this process, a client’s “truth” is articulated more and more clearly, and can then become an integrated and harmonious expression.
