Co-Dependency & Enmeshment: A Body-Based Healing Circle

Co-Dependency & Enmeshment

Note: This is an experiential practice. In this session you’ll be gently guided into body-based techniques to feel, acknowledge, and release stored emotions.

Event Description:
Have you ever felt like you lose yourself in relationships — absorbing other people’s emotions, needs, or pain until you can’t tell what’s yours and what’s theirs?

This gathering is for anyone ready to gently untangle those invisible cords and return to their own center.

Join Healing & Embodiment Coach Natalie for a compassionate, body-based healing circle that explores the roots of co-dependency and emotional enmeshment — not through the mind, but through the wisdom of the body.

Through grounding, breath, somatic inquiry, and guided reflection, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify where your body holds other people’s energy
• Reclaim the space that truly belongs to you
• Restore a sense of safety, self-trust, and energetic boundaries
• Anchor into your authentic self — so you can stay connected without losing yourself
• Feel what it means to be connected — without losing yourself

This isn’t about blame or judgment. It’s about remembering that your body is sacred ground — and learning how to honor it with love, presence, and truth.

### Core Principles of Trauma-Informed Practice

1. Safety – Physical, emotional, and energetic safety are prioritized. People aren’t pushed to do anything that feels overwhelming.
2. Choice – Participants have agency; they can opt in or out of any practice, change positions, or just observe without pressure.
3. Collaboration – The facilitator and participants are in a shared experience, rather than a top-down “expert/subject” dynamic.
4. Empowerment – Focus is on strengths, resilience, and self-trust rather than on deficits or “fixing.”
5. Cultural Humility – Recognizing and respecting that people’s experiences, beliefs, and bodies are shaped by diverse backgrounds.

### Why It Matters for Healing

• Many trauma survivors are hyper-aware of threat cues (tone of voice, body language, abrupt changes), so being mindful of these creates a safe space where healing can actually happen.
• The nervous system learns safety through experience, not just logic — so a calm, respectful, choice-based space helps the body downshift out of survival mode.
• Avoiding re-traumatization means you don’t accidentally trigger someone into reliving their trauma through overly intense, invasive, or fast-paced practices.
