As the craniosacral system is closely related to the Autonomic Nervous System, CST can also help at the emotional level, particularly in:
- post-traumatic stress disorder
- depression
- anxiety
- phobias
- addictions
- motivation
- confidence
- self-worth
- repetitive patterns of anger, guilt or frustration
This is possible because the Autonomic Nervous System(ANS) of the central nervous system regulates the involuntary processes of the body, the viscera, sense organs, glands and blood vessels through its 2 branches of its Sympathetic (fight/flight/freeze mode) and Parasympathetic (rest/relax/renew mode)systems.
What happens in one system affects all the others. For example, if you feel an emotion or have a thought, the body responds neurologically, biochemically, and physiologically.
Emotions, can alter the internal neurochemical environment though their actions on the body’s hormonal systems. Relationships and a person's environment can also affect the interplay between these 2 modes. These 2 divisions continually work together to maintain optimal function and homeostasis (a balanced state) creating the most balanced operation of bodily systems. and optimal conditions for therapeutic wellness. If they are not integrated, it can lead to hormonal or immunological imbalances when emotions are deeply affected, which in turn can manifest themselves in health disorders. Thus in this way, the physiological, mental and emotional are intrinsically related.
Whilst CST is beneficial for various health issues, it is, nevertheless, not necessary to have an illness or any particular problem to benefit from a session of CranioSacral Therapy. Many recipients enjoy a sense of profound well-being, repose, and feeling very uplifted. Others may wish to discover what’s holding them back from achieving their true potential, excel in their talents and enhance their learning, whilst others may wish to rediscover profound, transformative and therapeutic wellness.
