Uma Armengol Niño

As a therapist working also with a wide range of therapeutic approaches to trauma healing, I am profoundly inspired by the transformation my clients experience as I support them through their personal discovery of meaning and growth. In our therapeutic work, I encourage curiosity and observation to understand and make sense of yourself and what your life is showing you to learn. I support you towards trauma resolution, healing, well being, personal transformation and evolution.  We can only learn by experiencing and I believe that is the power of insight that can bring about change and transformation.

What is my therapeutic approach?

I specialise in the treatment of trauma at the core of mind, body, heart and soul with an embodied, integrative and holistic approach to enable recovery. I include the latest advances on neuropsychology, Germanic new medicine, neuro-affective regulation and Quantum Energy Healing in the therapeutic healing process. In addition, I use my body somatic resonance, heart energy and my personal and clinical experience to guide and support your healing process in the direction of your recovery and wellbeing.

My approach to working with therapy-energy-healing addresses the person as a whole, integrating mental, emotional, spiritual, astral and causal bodies. While learning and allowing with intention, you are fully present and participating consciously in co-creating your healing process, slowly developing resilience and self-empowerment in a trusted, grounded and creative way. While you learn to use the power of intention into healing, you slowly and lovingly start connecting and accessing true love, kindness, and compassion.

My practice and method includes also teaching psycho-social- education providing SE trauma-informed resources so you learn to take an active roll in your education towards your recuperation process. 

My way of working with people is relational, this means that you/I co-create together the way to your recovery. We work towards reconnecting and revitalising the relationship to yourself and others. In our work, you learn to embrace and accept the power of “now” while you look and accept the effects of the past and unpredictability of the future.

What are the themes I specialise in and offer support for?

I understand, treat and offer Psychosomatic Trauma Healing Therapy at the core of:

·         Identity

·         Love &Touch

·         Intimacy & Sexuality

·         High Sensitivity (HP)

·         Body-Soul Integration

·         Boundaries & Consent

·         Sexual Trauma-Healing

·         Sacred Womb-Healing

·         Circles of Living & Dying

·         Transgenerational & Collective Healing

From Personal, Collective & Ancestral Trauma to Healing and Liberation

I work in personal and collective family trauma due to cultural, racial, political, sexual orientation and gender difference (Systemic Family Constellations Therapy, IoPT Identity Therapy). All this is considered as part of healing the wounds of the ancestral lineage in the therapeutic and transpersonal healing process. My research and findings were supported both by my understanding of traumatisation and re-traumatisation leading to a healthy relational intimacy with oneself and others.

What can I expect in my journey of recovery and healing?

Initially, we work together to relieve the symptoms. Later, the goal is to become conscious of the underlying causes, which are often patterns of personality, developed during childhood and youth, but have become unhelpful or sometimes even emotionally harmful.

Slowly you reconnect to your body, mind and spirit and develop resilience, inner power and determination to reclaim yourself in the path of love and transformation.  It is a slow, step-by-step process of understanding and reconstructing life. Your life!

What happens in our first therapeutic session?

First, we ensure that you feel you are in a safe and nurturing space. We ensure you understand the treatment, confidentiality, and boundaries and we set up the terms of our therapeutic work ahead ensuring mutual respect and a clear understanding of the work together.

During our first assessment where we look at understanding your trauma biology history and set the intention for treatment and healing.

What is Somatic Experiencing (SE) Trauma Healing?

Somatic Experiencing Trauma Healing is a deep and gentle method for growth, stress, tensions and personal limitations that can transform into relaxation, harmony and inner freedom. We support our nervous system to move into self-healing flow unwinding our life energy force.

We’ve all heard of the flight or fight or freeze primitive brain biological response. When faced with what’s perceived as an inescapable or overwhelming threat, both humans and animals instinctively use these responses as survival mechanisms. These powerful instinctual mechanisms release a surge of survival energy which, if not discharged spontaneously, can get trapped, literally frozen in time, in the nervous system and muscle tissue.  This frozen energy affects our body and mind and alters the conscious or unconscious way of perceiving and living life. It has an important influence in our personality ego structure over time.

A trauma work session generally begins with establishing a resourceful, positive state, then it carefully approaches the outermost edges of the traumatic experience. Once the client begins to gently touch into difficult events or feelings the therapist helps to make sure that he/she only takes small bites (“titration”) of this material so that the nervous system can handle and support the naturally occurring variations of arousal and response within the body (“pendulation”). Self-regulation, integration and embodiment of grounding is the aim of this therapy.

We work towards integrating SIBAM (Sensations, Imaginary, Behaviour, Affect, Movement) and watch for physical signs indicating the energy release which may come in various forms such as small shivers, deep breaths, hot or cold flashes, change in temperature.

Then, slowly, we allow time for the client to reorient to the present, grounding in the here and now, connecting to inner resources and resolving conflictive states. This natural rhythm and flow is called “self-regulation” of our nervous system that digests traumatic material in the body and psyche. This is why in SE therapy moves one step at a time to support body integration.  SE Therapy can be used for any symptom and alongside other therapies.

How is SE based therapy different from other therapeutic modalities?

· SE engages focused awareness of bodily sensations to engage innate self-regulation and healing.

· SE helps the individual develop body awareness to "renegotiate" and heal trauma rather than relive or re-enact trauma.

· SE titrates traumatic material with highly resourced healthy states while maintaining awareness of the bodily "felt sense," and allowing time and space for the highly aroused survival energies to be safely experienced and gradually discharged.

· SE naturally builds greater and greater inner resiliency, self-regulation, and wellness.

· SE is experienced as “your own” journey of healing/rather than someone else "healing you.” You reclaim self-power, resilience and presence.

What is Psychosomatic Trauma Healing Therapy?

Learning to live life by experiencing the present moment is the art of living.

Blending psychotherapy with SE Trauma Healing, Psychosomatic Trauma Healing Therapy works with the body’s self- healing intelligence to bring alive stronger new ways of coping with what you couldn’t cope with before.

Psychosomatic Trauma Healing Therapy works by listening to the language of the body and helps to re-establish those powerful physiological/neurological/subconscious mechanisms allowing them to restore you to perfect wellbeing. Stabilisation and integration of your body, your conscious and unconscious mind, and your spirit, is necessary for your overall wellbeing and is the aim of our therapy.

Psychosomatic Trauma Healing Therapy teaches you to self-regulate, integrate and ground your traumatic experience in your body while you reclaim the sense of safety, strength and resilience for coping with life and reclaiming your sense of self.

Psychosomatic Trauma Healing Therapy works at the core of trauma resolution and re-centre your sense of self to regain wellness and a healthy way of living life and finally living in self-love and acceptance.

What is the therapeutic journey of healing?

For some, psychosomatic trauma healing therapy is a process and a journey of self-discovery towards individualisation or spiritual freedom: who I am? What do I need? What are my strengths and limitations? How do I see myself?  Daring to live life requires will-power and determination to be oneself in the polarity of life: in the shadow and in the light of ourselves.

For some others who have had difficult upbringings, it is a way to cope, understand and resolve a wide range of symptoms (depression, anxiety, phobias, anger, shame, guilt, alienation, confusion, fears, unwanted thoughts and feelings) or heal unresolved deep and complex traumas that has affected your body and health (Chronic Fatigue, CPTSD, Fibromyalgia, Endometriosis, Immune Deficiencies or Tumours).

What is Quantum Energy Medicine Therapy

It is a treatment that combines therapy & Biofeedback and operates through a unique medical software, which is the largest in its field to date. It is a safe, non-invasive, powerful bio-feedback device that stimulates the tremendous self-healing capacity of the body through stress detection and reduction. Stresses that impact the body include pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi etc), toxins, traumas, nutrient deficiencies, allergies, hereditary disorders, mental factors and perverse energies. These stresses often result in a lowered immune system, chronic pain, low performance, disease, depression, insomnia and emotional ups and downs. Energy Medicine works in a naturopathic manner to stimulate and harness the powerful self-healing ability of the human system healing body, mind, emotions & energy.
