What a session involves
A BCST session with Julie starts with a relaxed discussion regarding your case history, any concerns and needs. You then lie on a massage table fully clothed and the gentle hands-on component of the treatment lasts for around 30 – 40 minutes.
BCST is incredibly effective because it slows you down and allows you to listen to your body, reminding it how to relax and switch off the stress response. When your body switches over to ‘relaxation mode’ (parasympathetic nervous system) your repair systems can function more optimally, especially the immune, digestive, and reproductive systems. Julie places her hands on one or more areas bringing attention to the body while ‘listening’ to help facilitate the healing process.
A key part of the therapy, and the self-awareness it brings, is dialogue. It helps you stay present during the session so that you are aware of what is happening in your body and any changes that may be occurring. Your involvement, along with the lack of ‘directing’ or manipulation by Julie, can be empowering and can invite your body to work through various layers of tissue memory, allowing it to ‘clear’ what it needs to first. This may take time but ultimately can bring about deeper healing because we are not just treating symptoms but going back to the root cause.
After the hands-on part of the session you can further discuss anything that came up for you during the session or ask any more questions that may have arisen.
You may experience the effects of a BCST treatment on many levels and throughout your whole body and this can keep working for a day or two after a session as your body self-manages the changes. It is helpful to have an open mind and be an observer of thoughts and bodily sensations during this time. It can be supportive to keep a journal of any changes you notice over the series of treatments.
As this is a gentle, gradual yet deep form of healing, initially 3-5 sessions is recommended for optimum results. You may notice change sooner, or it may take longer for your body to respond.
