Doris Wolz Cohen, MFT is a licensed psychotherapist and body-mind
integrator in Los Angeles. Her practice recognizes the important role
the Ego-Soul-Axis plays in healing trauma. And her work integrates
attachment theory, trauma therapy,
somatic healing techniques, contemplative practices, and SR— Soulful
Relating. SR in Psychotherapy is the practice of helping clients
cultivate an attachment bond between their body-self (Ego) and their
Soul-Self (Real Self). She found, when this Ego-Soul-Connection is
felt, the body-self feels supported and can let go of control. This
makes processing and soulful integration of traumatic experiences
possible.
Doris recommends combining ketamine infusions and soul attachment
work, because ketamine opens the body-mind and makes the brain
receptive to change, and Soulful Relating offers the tools to
transform the past and plant new seeds for a life that is embodied,
creative and soulful.
