Hello, I am Sheryl Knopf, MSW, LICSW and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I received my MSW from Boston College. I have been in Private Practice for over 30 yrs. I am trained in many psychotherapy techniques. I worked in outpatient mental health settings in the Boston area until moving to Western Mass, where, I had a long standing private practice in West Springfield and Greenfield, MA.
I had some chronic hip pain and that has gone away. I have tried many treatments for the hip pain ( ie chiropractor, yoga) and what has worked is the natural processing. I have learned that I "sit on issues" and don't speak up. As I have become more aware through natural processing what i am "sitting on" the pain has gone away.
Read about a breathing technique called SKY. It is a type of cyclical controlled breathing practice with roots in traditional yoga that provides relief for depression. For the first time in 2015, the nonprofit think tank asked its nationally representative survey panel about their attitudes toward the workplace.
Overcoming Trauma: There is increasing evidence that the most efficient and effective ways to treat trauma in our lives is by including how our bodies have held onto these life experiences and keep a person locked in a fight flight or freeze state.
As Peter Levine states: (When) we have a person who is locked in the fight-or-flight response, a person who is functioning primarily in the brainstem, and the language of the brainstem is the language of sensations.So if you are trying to help the person work with the core of the trauma response, you have to talk to that level of the nervous system, (Levine, 2013).

You do not need to know the root cause of your anxiety while you are in the height of experiencing it. Trying to " figure it out" actually increases your anxious feelings. Instead try to decrease your symptoms and try to figure it out later when you are calmer. These tips let your nervous system calm down and let you get in control of your life.

If you are looking for a seasoned therapist, I’d highly recommend Sheryl Knopf. She has the tools needed to help people with anxiety, depression and trauma. She uses EMDR and Natural Processing, working on a deep level, connecting what is going on in the body with emotions, to gain new perspective and healing to old emotional wounds. Her down to earth style is both compassionate and caring, a person who it is easy to talk to and open up with. Her many years of experience gives her the skills to individualize treatment to each persons needs. I highly recommend Sheryl as a therapist.
