  • Am I in a Funk — or Is Something Ready to Resolve?

    When You Feel “Off” Have you ever caught yourself thinking, Why am I like this today?  Maybe you’re more irritable than usual. Maybe you feel withdrawn, flat, or unusually sensitive. You can sense something is off, but you can’t quite explain it. It’s easy to label it as “just a mood” and try to push through. But what if that funk isn’t random? What if it’s not a flaw in your personality? What if it’s simply an unresolved emotional imprint asking to be cleared? Research consistently shows that emotional awareness — the ability to notice and identify what you’re feeling — is strongly associated with better mental health outcomes. A Harvard Brain Science Initiative review highlights how emotional awareness supports psychological resilience and overall well-being. [1] Awareness, however, is only the first step. The Script Beneath the Surface We all carry emotional scripts beneath the surface. These scripts aren’t conscious decisions. They are patterns stored in the nervous system from past experiences. When something in the present moment resembles an earlier emotional experience, your body reacts before your mind has time to reason it through. You may feel a tightening in your chest, a clenching in your jaw, or a heaviness in your stomach. The reaction feels immediate and personal, but it is often physiological. Studies on affect labeling — simply identifying what you’re feeling — show that naming emotions can reduce their intensity and calm the nervous system. [2] But labeling and calming are not the same as resolving. Managing Isn’t the Same as Resolving Most of us were taught to manage emotional reactions. We try to breathe through them. We reframe our thoughts. We distract ourselves. We push through. Research on self-care and mental well-being confirms that intentional self-care practices are associated with improved psychological health and stress reduction. [3] These tools are valuable. They support stability. They build awareness. But if an emotional imprint remains unfinished, it can resurface again and again. §  Managing brings temporary relief. §  Resolution brings completion. This is where Emotional Resolution, or EmRes, changes the conversation.   What Emotional Resolution Does Differently EmRes does not require you to relive your past or analyze your story. It works directly with what is happening in your body right now. When you gently bring awareness to the physical sensations connected to an activated emotion and allow them to unfold without interference, the nervous system can complete the emotional response that was previously unfinished. Neuroscience research shows that emotions are embodied experiences involving coordinated physiological processes. Emotional experiences are not just thoughts — they are physical states that move through the body. [4] When those physiological processes are interrupted during stress, they can remain stored as incomplete patterns. EmRes allows the body to complete that process naturally. §  The charge softens. §  The intensity dissolves. §  The script loses its pull. People often say, “I can’t believe that doesn’t bother me anymore.” That is not suppression. That is resolution. When Emotions Go Unresolved When emotions remain unresolved, they repeat. The same argument feels loaded. The same workplace dynamic triggers irritation. The same self-doubt resurfaces. Research on emotional self-efficacy — confidence in one’s ability to understand and handle emotional experiences — shows that strengthening emotional processing skills reduces stress and psychological distress. [5] But confidence grows most powerfully when emotional triggers no longer activate in the same way. EmRes focuses on clearing the imprint itself. Once that imprint resolves, the nervous system does not respond the same way to similar situations. You don’t have to manage the reaction — because it isn’t there. A Different Question to Ask The next time you feel “in a funk,” pause. Instead of asking what’s wrong with you, ask what your body might be holding. Being sensitive to your moods is not weakness. It is awareness. And awareness becomes powerful when you know how to allow your body to resolve what it’s carrying. You’re Not Broken — Something Is Ready to Clear You are not your reactions. You are not your moods. If something feels activated, it is simply something ready to resolved. And EmRes is the best tool to use. When the emotional imprint clears, the heaviness lifts — not because you forced yourself to change, but because the nervous system completed what it couldn’t complete before. That is the promise of Emotional Resolution. §  Not management. §  Not suppression. §  Resolution.   References 1.        Emotional Awareness and Mental Health, https://brain.harvard.edu/hbi_news/emotional-awareness-and-mental-health/ 2.        Gender differences in emotion perception and self-reported emotional intelligence, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5784910/ 3.        Mindful self-care and mental well-being of university health educators and professionals, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10743852/ 4.        The circumplex model of affect: An integrative approach to affective neuroscience, cognitive development, and psychopathology, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2367156/ 5.        Personality as manifest in word use: correlations with self-report, acquaintance report, and behavior, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18211181/   Images by AIDocMaker.com About Sue Sue Siebens uses Emotional Resolution, EmRes, to work at a fundamental level, where the roots of the illness, fear, and pain can be accessed and resolved.

  • Teenage Self-Image

    Teenage Self-Image: How It Forms, What Shapes It, and Why Teens Today Feel So Much Pressure Teenage self-image doesn’t suddenly appear during adolescence. It develops slowly, shaped by everyday emotional experiences—how teens are spoken to, compared, included, excluded, praised, corrected, and understood. What makes the teen years so intense is that everything is felt more deeply , while the nervous system is still learning how to regulate those feelings. Today’s teens are navigating that developmental stage in a world that is louder, faster, more public, and more emotionally demanding than ever before. Understanding how self-image forms—and how emotional pressure accumulates—helps us support teens in ways that actually work. What Self-Image Really Is Self-image is not confidence, personality, or self-esteem tips. It’s the internal sense of who I am and how I fit in the world . A teen’s self-image forms through repeated emotional experiences: being laughed at, being supported, being ignored, being chosen, being corrected, being compared. Over time, those experiences settle into quiet beliefs such as: I’m not good enough. I don’t belong. I have to try harder to be accepted. Something is wrong with me. These beliefs are rarely conscious. They live in the body as emotional patterns—and they guide behavior far more than logic ever could.   How Family Shapes Self-Image Family is the first place teens learn who they are emotionally. They absorb how emotions are handled in the household. They notice whether mistakes are met with curiosity or criticism. They feel whether love is steady or conditional. Even in supportive families, small moments matter. A dismissive tone, repeated frustration, or well-intended pressure to “do better” can quietly shape how teens see themselves. Teens don’t need perfect parents. They need emotional safety —the sense that their internal world is allowed to exist without being judged or fixed. Friends and the Need to Belong As teens grow, peer relationships become a powerful mirror. Friend groups influence how teens dress, talk, and behave, but more importantly, they influence whether teens feel accepted or invisible. Subtle moments—being excluded from a group chat, left out of plans, or teased—can leave emotional impressions that last far longer than adults realize. Because belonging feels essential at this stage, teens may change themselves to maintain connection, slowly shaping a self-image that is  based on approval rather than authenticity.   School, Performance, and Identity School is where many teens decide what they believe about their intelligence, competence, and value. Grades, test scores, athletic performance, and teacher feedback can all become emotional markers. A teen may logically know they are capable, yet emotionally feel “not smart,” “not enough,” or “behind.” When performance becomes tied to worth , self-image becomes fragile. Social Media and Constant Comparison   Social media has added an entirely new layer to teenage self-image. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok expose teens to endless highlight reels—filtered bodies, perfect moments, popularity metrics, and public comparison. There is no emotional rest. No private mistakes. No off-switch for comparison. Many teens quietly measure their worth through visibility, likes, and reactions, even when they know—intellectually—that it isn’t real. Unique Challenges at Different Teen Stages Early adolescence often centers on body changes and the question, “Am I normal?”  Emotions are intense, thinking is literal, and embarrassment can feel overwhelming. Middle adolescence brings identity exploration and heightened sensitivity to social feedback. Teens may swing between confidence and self-doubt depending on peer experiences. Late adolescence adds pressure about the future. Questions like “Who am I becoming?”  and “Am I doing enough?”  can weigh heavily, especially when comparison is constant. Across all ages, the common thread is emotional overload without effective resolution .   Why Teens Don’t Need More Advice Teens rarely struggle because they lack insight or intelligence. They struggle because emotional reactions build up in the body and never fully resolve. Unresolved emotions shape self-image quietly. Over time, teens may feel anxious, shut down, reactive, or withdrawn without knowing why. Telling them to “be confident,” “stop overthinking,” or “try harder” doesn’t touch the root of the issue. What they need is relief .   Why Emotional Resolution (EmRes) Is a Perfect Match for Teenagers Emotional Resolution (EmRes) works with the body’s natural ability to release emotional reactions— without requiring long conversations, rehashing the past, or intellectual explanations. This makes EmRes especially well-suited for teenagers. Teens don’t have to explain their feelings. They don’t have to relive painful memories. They don’t have to label emotions correctly. By resolving emotional triggers at the physiological level, EmRes helps teens experience: relief from emotional pressure calmer responses in social situations greater confidence without forcing it improved focus and clarity a more stable, grounded sense of self As emotional reactions resolve, self-image naturally shifts . Teens don’t need to be told they’re enough—they begin to feel  it.   A Foundation That Lasts Teenage self-image is not something to correct or control. It’s something to support while it’s forming . When teens are given tools that resolve emotional overwhelm instead of suppressing it , they develop a sense of self that isn’t dependent on comparison, approval, or perfection. That foundation doesn’t just help them survive adolescence— it supports the adults they are becoming.   Images by AIDocMaker.com About Sue Sue Siebens uses Emotional Resolution, EmRes, to work at a fundamental level, where the roots of the illness, fear, and pain can be accessed and resolved.

  • Insomnia: When Sleep Doesn’t Feel Safe

    For many people sleep is not a chronic problem. Occasionally they might get “off schedule”, but they seem to find their sleep rhythm naturally. That is wonderful…for them. But if a consistent good night’s sleep seems to be out of reach, then this information about insomnia might really help you . Insomnia isn’t simply the absence of sleep. People with insomnia are usually doing everything “right”—going to bed, turning off the lights, wanting rest—yet sleep won’t come or won’t stay. What’s missing isn’t effort. It’s unresolved emotions that are conflicting with the need for rest. Sleep is natural, but it’s also surprisingly vulnerable. To fall asleep, the body must allow consciousness to fade. From the perspective of the nervous system, that loss of awareness can feel like a loss of control. And for a survival-oriented brain, loss of control can register as danger. Fear of darkness, fear of not knowing what’s happening, fear of dying in one’s sleep, or fear rooted in past experiences can quietly block the transition into sleep. Most often these fears are unconscious, expressed as wakefulness as we stare at the ceiling above our bed. And well-intended advice to “just let go” can reinforce nighttime wakefulness when letting go feels unsafe for some reason. At its core, falling asleep requires security —a deep, embodied sense that nothing bad will happen if awareness fades. What Sleep Actually Needs For sleep to happen naturally, several conditions must come together. The body needs to be physiologically ready. The mind needs to quiet. Emotions need to be soothed. And perhaps most importantly, the nervous system needs to register safety. When one of these elements is missing, insomnia often appears. This is why purely mechanical solutions—sleep schedules, supplements, or medications—sometimes help and sometimes don’t. They can organize sleep, but they don’t always resolve the emotional state that keeps the nervous system on alert. Organizing Sleep Without Forcing It Sleep organization refers to the practical and biological setup that allows sleep to emerge. This includes honoring individual rhythms. Some people naturally need more sleep than others. Some are early birds, others night owls. Trouble often begins when people force themselves into schedules that don’t match their biology. This can happen when couples with opposite rhythms struggle to synchronize their nights or we take the early shift at work when we are a night owl. Sleep pressure also matters. We need to be genuinely tired to fall asleep. Sleeping in too late or taking long naps can reduce that pressure, making bedtime harder. Short naps—under twenty minutes—are usually fine, but long ones can interfere with nighttime sleep. Light exposure plays a major role as well. Natural daylight during the day helps regulate the biological clock, while bright screens at night delay melatonin production. In a world before electricity, melatonin rose naturally at sunset. Today, staying brightly lit into the evening tells the brain it’s still daytime, even when we want to sleep. Daily rhythms support sleep more than many people realize. Consistent times for waking, sleeping, and eating help the nervous system anticipate rest. Physical activity during the day promotes sleep, while evenings are best reserved for slowing down. Social contact is essential for emotional health, but it’s most supportive during daytime hours. At night, the system benefits from predictability and calm. The sleep environment matters too. Quiet, darkness, comfortable temperature, soft clothing, and a bed that feels physically and emotionally secure all contribute to the message: It’s safe to rest now. The Sleep Train: Timing Matters Sleep arrives in waves, not on command. Many people find it helpful to think of sleep as a train that briefly pulls into the station. When eyelids feel heavy, yawning starts, or a subtle chill appears, the train has arrived. It typically waits for about fifteen to twenty minutes. If you miss it—by staying on the couch or getting caught up on evenining tasks—the next train may not arrive for a 60-90 minutes. Once asleep, the night unfolds in cycles of about ninety minutes. Between these cycles are brief awakenings. Most people have them, but not everyone remembers them. When someone does remember waking, they may conclude they “didn’t sleep,” which creates anxiety and reinforces insomnia. Over time, this belief and worry about not sleeping soundly alone can disrupt sleep more than the awakenings themselves. Why Fear So Often Sits Under Insomnia From a nervous system perspective, insomnia is often a survival strategy . Staying awake means staying alert. Staying alert means staying in control. For someone whose system learned—consciously or unconsciously—that losing awareness equals danger, insomnia can feel necessary. This pattern commonly shows up after medical emergencies, accidents, trauma, or long periods of nighttime responsibility such as caring for young children. It can also be present in people with anxious or perfectionist temperaments who rely on control to avoid feelings of helplessness. The body may resist sleep not because it’s broken, but because it’s trying to protect. How Insomnia Shows Up Some people struggle to fall asleep even though they’re exhausted. Others jolt awake just as they begin to drift off. Some fall asleep easily but wake in the middle of the night and can’t return to sleep. Others wake at every sound, never fully dropping into deep rest. Still others experience recurring nightmares or early-morning awakenings filled with worry. Although these patterns look different on the surface, they share a common thread: the nervous system doesn’t feel safe enough to fully let go and surrender to sleep .   How Emotional Resolution Helps Insomnia — No Matter the Form This is where Emotional Resolution (EmRes)  becomes especially powerful. EmRes works directly with the body-based emotional responses that keep the nervous system on alert. Rather than forcing sleep or managing symptoms, EmRes helps restore the internal safety that makes sleep possible. EmRes Sessions In a guided EmRes session, the practitioner helps the client resolve the emotional charge linked to sleep disruption—without analyzing, reliving trauma, or searching for causes. The focus is always on the present-day experience : the feeling that arises when trying to fall asleep, the fear that appears when waking at night, or the tension that comes with losing control. As these emotions resolve, the nervous system naturally downshifts. Clients often report that sleep returns spontaneously, without effort. Even when awakenings still occur, they no longer feel distressing, and falling back asleep becomes easy again. EmRes sessions with a practitioner are especially helpful for: Fear of falling asleep or losing consciousness Nighttime panic or jolting awake Hyper-vigilance and “sleeping with one eye open” Trauma-related sleep disruption and nightmares Long-standing insomnia resistant to other methods Self-EmRes: Support in the Moment Self-EmRes gives people a way to work with sleep-related emotions in real time . It’s taught as a supplement in EmRes sessions. It can be used: At bedtime when the mind won’t settle During nighttime awakenings After nightmares In the morning if frustration or fear about sleep appears Rather than trying to distract, suppress, or “relax harder,” Self-EmRes allows emotions to complete naturally in the body. When the emotional charge deactivates, sleep often resumes on its own. Over time, this changes the relationship with sleep itself. Nights become less charged, less anticipatory, and less stressful. Sleep is no longer something to achieve—it’s something that happens again. Breaking the Vicious Cycle of Insomnia Many people are caught in a loop of beliefs around sleep: I’m an insomniac. I need eight hours. Tomorrow will be awful if I don’t sleep. These beliefs create pressure, which increases alertness, which disrupts sleep even more. EmRes gently dissolves the emotional energy behind these beliefs. As the fear and tension fade, the nervous system stops monitoring sleep so closely. This alone can dramatically improve rest, even before sleep duration changes.   Insomnia Is Not a Malfunction — It’s a Signal Insomnia isn’t the enemy. It’s a message from the nervous system that safety hasn’t been fully restored yet. Emotional Resolution addresses that message directly. By resolving fear, releasing hyper-control, and restoring a sense of security, EmRes makes room for the natural loss of consciousness that sleep requires. Sleep doesn’t need to be forced.It needs to feel safe again. And when safety returns, sleep follows—quietly, naturally, and without effort.

This site gives you access to highly trained, certified professionals who can guide you to resolve disruptive emotional patterns. Here you will also find the complete list of courses and trainings we offer to individuals and professionals . Few words about EmRes® EmRes aims to resolve recurring painful and debilitating emotions through Viscero-somatic quieting (also known as Somatic quieting). Mammals have an innate capacity for emotional resilience. We witness this phenomenon in wild animals in their natural habitat--they do not hold on to trauma, they integrate their experiences somatically as soon as they reach a safe environment. This is in sharp contrast to humans, domestic animals, and even farm animals, who remain sensitive to various conscious or subconscious threats linked to an original trauma. EmRes is a body of work crafted to gently and safely guide individuals to reconnect with their intrinsic capacity for emotional resilience, enabling them to integrate and resolve hurtful or debilitating emotional reactions such as anxiety, anger, lack of self confidence, post-traumatic stress, etc. The goal of EmRes is to allow us to feel the emotions congruent with our current reality, rather than being overwhelmed by emotions from our past that are re-triggered by currently harmless stimuli. Check our collection of Real Case Studies using EmRes Download PDF What is Viscero-somatic quieting? Every emotion we feel is the result of a coalescence of physical sensations in our body. EmRes connects you to the physical sensations present in your body during a painful emotion and utilizes them to update obsolete emotional reactions. If we take the time to experience a recurring difficult emotion through its sensations in a safe environment, without trying to understand it, control it, and without dwelling in it, we will give our body the space to accomplish a natural cycle of viscero-somatic quieting. At the end of this cycle, the "quieted" emotion will be resolved. More info here .

    Meet the Practitioners < Previous Return to Directory Next > Fabrice Galli Send an Email Australia Languages: English, French Certifications: Certified EmRes Practitioner Resolution of Physical Symptoms & Unwanted Behaviors “Knowing oneself comes from attending with compassionate curiosity to what is happening within” - Dr. Gabor Maté. About Fabrice: As someone who understands the power of compassion and presence, Fabrice utilises these principles to guide the EmRes sessions he leads. Fabrice has a lifelong interest in personal growth, self-optimisation and spiritual studies. As a result, he has many years of experience leading men’s groups and meditation sessions and is currently moving deeper into this practice whilst studying Counselling at Deakin University in Australia. Fabrice speaks English and French and is based on the beautiful shores of Victoria, Australia. He is currently taking on new clients and is available to work with you online from anywhere in the world. "I had no experience with EMRES prior to my interaction with Fabrice, but his ability to explain the process and guide me through what to expect was amazing. Fabrice has a very calm way of guiding you through and there were times when I was talking to him and I was thinking that not much was going to come up and then I’d find myself deep in a place that I didn’t expect to be, but was extremely grateful for. I have no hesitation in recommending Fabrice as a practitioner through this beautiful process”- Shannon, NSW, Australia "Fabrice has facilitated over a dozen EmRes sessions for me. I have been amazed at his ability to firstly zero in on the core emotion that I have been experiencing amongst the jungle of confusion. This is followed by his intuitive guidance in unlocking the physical sensations that are associated with that emotion, enabling me to move through the looping pain of the emotion. I always find Fabrice steady and comforting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.” Andrew, NSW, Australia
