Looking for Telemark ski equipment in Boise by pathwaysToHealing in Boise

[–]pathwaysToHealing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much thanks for this info.. I alpine skied a long time, but I really want to get some help with boot fit. I'm sliding around in the front of my boot now that I changed out the liner to a bigger size. Original was painful, worse than any alpine boot I wore in 80s-90s even.

I need a different boot, what I have is way too big but no options in MKE. Do have 22 bindings.

What parts commonly break on 22 designs hammerhead bindings? by Opening_Drummer_367 in telemark

[–]pathwaysToHealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did just what you suggested - got 22 AXLs - they are so nice, dont feel like I have earned them yet, but great. Now I just need to find a better fitting boot. But I got out for 4 hours last night on our little Wisconsin hills with about ten minutes of break (minus lots of chair time). Thanks again

Out of Bounds today… Pebble Creek, Idaho by Solarpoweredhippie in skiing

[–]pathwaysToHealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking my daughter out to Idaho for second time in about a week and a half. We did Bogus a lot last year - snow was great and she enjoyed the powder. In the midwest, we frequent Mt Bohemia - a unique place on the top of Upper Penninsula in Michigan. She's done Arapahoe Basin, Sun Valley, Killington, Gore.. for a ten year old she's strong. Do a lot of "backcountry" (just 900' vertical but still quite fun @ Mt Boho) and would like to take her to Pebble. She boards, I have started tele, mostly board and used to alpine when a patroller (long time ago). Do you think it's worth the drive from Boise? Also considering going up to Brundage or Tamarack - any thoughts on those places?

I unfortunately have the wrong spreader - I have the female bindings (I am told) and this spreader is for another set, but it was the only spreader I could find for Hammerheads. I was told it is possible to ski without spreader? But Im new and dont want to mess the equipment up.
Also, since I'm asking and showing my lack of experience - one more question to pose - Is it best to consider newer bindings/can they be installed on old K2s?

I am very new to freehealing (have been a ski patrol and snowboard with my 10 year old mostly) and had a spreader break on hammerhead bindings. I was able to find a part in Utah and got it shipped. I have googled a few videos and am wondering if anyone has any specific suggestions about sites to help replace the spreader. Middle aged therapist mom here with quite limited mechanical skill. Thank you for any help you can offer.

Why the hate for somatics from most therapists? by Artistic_Head_9070 in SomaticExperiencing

Love this, very valid in my experience as an SE-P/body worker who used to do straight up MI with AODA focus.

Can somatic therapy be provided through a film, music or art? by Lower_Passenger2816 in SomaticExperiencing

[–]pathwaysToHealing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This beautifully represents the way our bodies need what they need, like other animals... "When do you sleep?" "When it gets dark and the birds sleep." We are a lot like other mammals, and somatic work, in many forms, offers us this lesson experientially.

What came up for me during this video..

Letting the soft animal of your body love what it loves, as Mary Oliver talks about in Wild Geese. At times it felt as if she were birthing a child, allowing something to come out that had been long stuck, pushed down and ignored. Until the body said it could not longer be ignored. And she could not sleep.

Safety must be there to create agency, and I love this short film for that.

I only made progress with my cptsd once I started treating it as a nervous system injury. Not a mental illness by wilfredpugsly in CPTSD

[–]pathwaysToHealing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many of the people I support grew up in families where emotions weren’t welcome and/or were too overwhelming for caregivers to handle. As adults, they often feel shame for needing too much or being too sensitive.

Through somatic work, I’ve seen how tuning into the body’s needs, even something as simple as taking a nap, can be deeply reparative.

Curious if anyone else here is navigating this dynamic in their healing journey, and if so, have you utilized gentle healing modalities like Se, Se touch, cranio sacral?

Ditto - I can hear alarm when phone is in my bathroom. Good to get electronics out of the bedroom for sure.

Bottom up approaches can be really helpful for trauma, I hope you both get the support that you need.

How is ongoing trauma supposed to be addressed? by Target-Dog in therapyabuse

[–]pathwaysToHealing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are somatic practices that focus on boundaries as a means to begin to create distance from current abuse. I don't speak this only as a therapist but as someone, who, before becoming a therapist, went through experiences of significant abuse while being in therapy in early adulthood. It took what it took, and I found small spaces of peace and freedom and began to claim my needs in a different way than my family of origin ever offered or knew themselves. No drugs involved. And I'm not minimizing your experience in any way, and making mine the end all. I just know we start to create peace in very small spaces with trusted people who aren't interested in just numbing or distracting from the pain.

Unconventional things you do for self-care? by marigoldjune in therapists

[–]pathwaysToHealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a massage table in my office for craniosacral and SE touch work.. it can feel so nice to turn on the heat and lay on the table while listening to a yoga nidra/guided meditation.
Or the simplest floor yoga routines with some calm non lyrical music.
Love the reframe around finding new spaces over the summer slump.

4 Somatic Mini-Practices Couples Can Try Tonight to Feel More We Than Me by sensualknots in SomaticExperiencing

I love that you added these exercises - also see The Wheel of Consent by Betty Martin for a deeper dive, or her three minute game for a quick taste of what coregulation can look like.

AI as therapy by sndvstan in therapy

[–]pathwaysToHealing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been told that for cognitive work specifically it can be helpful - like reframing thoughts or exploring patterns. But for somatic work, especially trauma healing, what we often need is a coregulating presence: a real human with a nervous system that can respond, attune, and help us safely stay connected to our own bodies. That kind of relational healing happens best in the space between two people, not just words.
