Does it ever feel like you’re oil and water—
that you just don’t mix with the world around you?
You are a kind-hearted human, intelligent and spiritual, who longs for connection but fears it too. You have gotten so good at flying under the radar or taking care of others, it is hard to show up authentically as you. It is as if your true feelings are so automatically minimized while you prioritize everyone else’s that you end up adrift without a compass. You have tried to figure out why your experience is so different from other people’s, and sometimes it feels like there is something fundamentally wrong with you. The good news is that beneath the adaptations and shame is a vital, healthy core—the part of you that still longs for the connection you know is possible.
Bring two elements together: sometimes they are inert; sometimes there is a reaction. We could be a transformative combination if:
-
You see how other people smile or laugh and wish you felt that kind of joyful aliveness
-
You want to believe that you matter and that people appreciate your existence
-
You want to have meaningful, long-term relationships without having to hide, perform, or drain yourself
-
You want to move towards the things you want authentically, rather than forcing yourself
-
You feel a chronic sadness or emptiness inside
-
You are always there for others, listening and caring, but you often feel resentful and withdraw due to the relational imbalance
My Story
I am Alex Garver, a hypnotherapist and somatic coach. I started SunConscious Healing because I wanted to share the transformative practices I have gathered through decades of diving into psychology, yoga, and meditation. I believe that we are often most limited by identifying with the survival strategies we once used to adapt to environments lacking safe, attuned connection. This is culture-making, generation-changing work that I hope will create a more vital, kind, and connected world.
How We Work Together
-
We meet for personalized sessions of 60 or 90 minutes. Rather than me "fixing" you, we collaborate to choose a focus for our time together, creating a safe container to explore the specific patterns that currently get in the way of your vitality and the connection you long for.
-
Our most ingrained survival responses are formed long before we have words to describe them, making them difficult to address through conversation alone. By working directly with the subconscious through active imagination and somatic tracking, we can unwind the foundational patterns that restrict your agency and create space for a more authentic, grounded way of being in the world.
-
Using hypnosis and inquiry, you will access more well-being. We work on rewriting the conclusions you had to draw as a young, unmentored child, giving you practical somatic tools you can apply on your own to navigate the world with more ease.
I Love To Work With:
-
People who have always felt different—those who possess a deep emotional sensitivity and often find themselves struggling with the weight and intensity of the world.
-
Those who recognize symptoms of chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), anxious attachment, or avoidant attachment in themselves.
-
Those who feel a deep desire to help others and are willing to do the deep work of healing on behalf of their ancestors and the generations yet to come.
-
Seekers, writers, healers, and meditators who are naturally drawn to kindness, mindfulness, and the beauty of a life lived with depth.
