We are still challenged! Uncertainty reigns! How you respond matters a lot! Not just for your mood and attitude, but for your physical health.
As always, my goal is to help you balance your nervous system with self-soothing. When you can reduce your automatic sympathetic nervous system reactions (Fight/flight/freeze/faint), you’re on your way to better health.

As 2019 was drawing to a close, I registered for a yearlong Master Level Practitioner Program in the BodyIntuitive system of mind-body medicine. The program was scheduled to begin on March 20, 20020. At the time, I had no idea about the pandemic that was about to unfold in the following few months.
By the time March 2020 came around, the Covid-19 virus was ...

Digestive issues, insomnia, depression, fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, aches of all kinds and much more are often symptomatic of unresolved emotional memories, traumas, and stressors.
Since emotion is a natural response to the range of life circumstances we encounter, the key to healthy living is to fully process our emotions. Whatever the feeling state may be – whether the ...

When it comes to your health, do you wonder WHY you have the symptoms and conditions that you have? Our emotions, traumas, stresses and belief systems have a tremendous impact on our overall health. The functioning of our nervous system, the level of hormones in our bloodstream, the inflammatory nature of our immune system, and even our epigenetic capacity for vitality are all part of a story.

“Meditation” can seem to be a daunting challenge. The mind is usually so busy, it’s hard to find the pause button. Bringing the mind and body together by focusing on one’s breath is the easiest way to begin to quiet the mind.
Giving attention to the tension held in your body make it possible to release tension. Attention ...

He referred her to another psychotherapist. At the first session with the new psychotherapist, she was assigned homework to complete before the next session. Imagine what that homework was: to watch the self-soothing videos by Laya Seghi at www.layaseghi.com/video-tools! Yes, I found that amusing indeed (especially since I didn’t even know the ...

EFT is amazingly simple and easy to learn, yet the results can be phenomenal. If you haven’t tried it yet, take a few minutes, watch the video and ...

Everyone’s has some stress, but when you can say “I’ve got this!” you’re on your way to the UPSIDE of stress. If you think having a lot of stress will damage your health, that belief can actually make you sick. Instead, if you believe that “when the going gets tough, the tough get going,” stress can actually make you smarter and stronger.
A recent New York Times article “How to be Better at Stress” ...

Why does psychotherapy combined with energy work result in therapeutic change more efficiently and effectively than traditional talk therapy?
In this radio interview, I share my experience as a holistic psychotherapist. With a variety of energy psychology modalities, I can access unresolved emotions that are stored in the body. Simply put, it’s hard to talk about what’s inaccessible to our conscious mind. With energy work, we can quickly identify where emotion is stuck in the energy system and release the associated ...

I’m excited to share some good news!!! Although many of my clients exclaim about the “miracle” results they’ve had from NeuroEmotional Technique in therapy, until now, their testimonials amounted to nothing more than “anecdotal” evidence. Well, the good news is that the long-awaited NET study has finally been published. We now have quantifiable evidence as to why clients feel so much better with NET. Pre-and post- treatment changes can be seen on fMRI brain images.
These pictures are worth a 1,000 ...
