What is PEER Process?

Along with my wonderful therapy clients, I am also opening up my practice to all that have access to an internet connection and working virtually as a depth oriented coach. The main ingredient of this new practice is something called PEER process.

PEER is an acronym that stands for Primary Emotional Energy Recovery and the basic idea is that through our life experiences, we have accumulated stuck energy that has gathered up as physical tension. That tension finds its way into different parts of our body and is part of a phenomenon that Carl Jung called the "psychoid" archetype. 

Simply put, it's material that is in-between matter and energy. That material is what gathers when an experience hardens into a felt sense that we carry with us. What PEER process does is move that tension up and out of the body. It's safe, gentle and client-led. It sometimes does in 15 minutes what can take years of traditional talk therapy. Simply releasing old tensions.

Allowing for tension to release can lead to feeling like a new person afterwards. The felt sense that this tension had been there our whole lives and now is evaporating before our eyes. Feeling a lightness in our bodies that we had no idea we were still capable of after listening to the stories that this tension had been weaving in us for years.

We are in such a wondrous era, where these revelatory ideas are available to us, all that it takes to embody them are a teacher or a group that understands them and can work with them. We are fortunate for that. If you are interested in learning more, I'll be posting about PEER and other related tools and ideas here as inspiration hits.

Feel free to reach out to me with comments on this post, 1:1's or group programs that I offer. There is a free 2 day event coming up on September 14th and 15th for men who are suffering in their relationship, suspect that their emotional tensions like grief, anger or shame might have something to do with it and want support getting free. I will be demonstrating PEER process work at the event. The men's group program, The Quiet King, will be starting in early October, dates TBD.

Lots of Love!
