Davis Briscoe

"TRUE POWER DIMINISHES NEITHER SELF NOR OTHER" (Mariah Moser) — these words embody the essence of my therapeutic approach. I'm Davis Briscoe, a relational somatic therapist/Somatic Counsellor with 17 years of experience in guiding clients towards healing and empowerment.
My journey began amidst adversity and trauma, shaping my deep understanding of the human experience. Eventually, it all caught up to me and at 30, a life-altering 100 foot cliff fall compelled me to confront the unresolved pain within. This pivotal moment sparked my commitment to somatic therapy, grief work, and immersive retreats, leading to profound personal transformation.
Drawing from my own journey, I guide clients through their sacred exploration of healing. In sessions, I foster trust and safety, allowing for the gentle unraveling of deep-seated trauma patterns. Through relational somatic therapy, clients rediscover their inner strength, reclaiming their power to navigate life's challenges with resilience and authenticity.
My therapeutic philosophy centers on cultivating self-awareness, seeing problems as solvable or at least manageable, and finding meaning in life and opportunities for self-discovery.
I believe in the innate capacity for healing and growth within each individual, offering unwavering support on their journey towards wholeness.
My passion also lies in helping clients cultivate a new relationship with their pain, fostering personal growth and relational healing.
In addition to trauma healing, I specialize in Men's Work: Guiding men into the right relationship with their power and helping women understand men and helping heal the divisions that can exist in relationships between men and women.
With dedication and support, healing is not only possible but inevitable.
In sessions, the work is often to explore the adaptations and coping techniques that have kept us safe but at the same time inhibit our growth and freedom.
Together, let's embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and empowerment..

Testimonial
I have been working with Davis for over a year now and I find his approach very aligned with my needs. While he seems quite intuitive, he is also very curious and careful not to make assumptions. He ensures that he asks me for clarification -attributes that I value and have had to really focus on during our work together.
When I started working with Davis I was struggling with a number of physical issues that I felt were connected with unresolved trauma and our work together has explored a number of these areas, but always connecting our discussions back to the brain/body (somatic) connection. In reflecting back on the past 15 month’s of work, I recognize that I have incorporated a number of positive changes in my life which has led to a significant reduction in physical pain as well as more connectedness with those around me. I find myself more present and able to navigate the stresses and challenges of day to day life with more flexibility and resilience which has resulted in more positive and meaningful interactions.
I also appreciate being able to set the pace of our interactions and focus on items that are meaningful to me, however there is also a respectful challenge by Davis to not avoid topics either.
My experience has been both positive and productive which is why I choose to continue to work with Davis as I explore different ways of navigating my future.
