Organic Intelligence®
Follow your nervous system’s natural movement toward wholeness and integration.
Organic Intelligence® is a process of gently following your system's naturally arising resources—thoughts, images, sensations, feelings, and unconscious movements—inside a free-association conversation. The role of the practitioner is to highlight your organic, self-organizing impulses while supporting an orientation to the present moment. Developed by Steve Hoskinson, a clinical psychologist and Somatic Experiencing trainer for over 20 years, OI sees life's challenges and gifts within a complex systems framework. Being well oriented in the here and now supports us to be well oriented on our life path—moving and being moved in meaningful and enlivening directions.
More about an OI session
In an OI session—which can happen in person or online—we move away from a focus on “what’s wrong.” Away from working “with” trauma, “with” anxiety, “with” chronic fatigue or IBS or overwhelm. Instead, we focus on specifically reinforcing the biology’s super-subtle (at first) signals of healing and growth. Because this is how our biology works.
