Drawing Out Trauma
You know that feeling…the one where you're the the fixer; The strong one for everyone else? BUT deep down, you're carrying a heavy load of responsibility, doubt, and exhaustion. Longing for someone to simply — care for you, support you, and be there for you! It takes time, but YOU CAN let go of that weight. All the while healing the conditioning that has formed the patterns that keep you from truly thriving.
Imagine a world where you're not just the doer, the fixer or the expert, but the beloved, the supported and your authentic self!

You are the empath, healer, people pleaser, coach, therapist, manager, caregiver…
The one who often feels the weight of responsibility to always be the fixer, the strong one and the expert.
The one who battles anxiety, holding boundaries, imposter syndrome, creative burnout, and the constant pressure to have it all together.
The one who, despite their own struggles, tends to step back and ponder, 'I may be upset, but I know they are acting this way because...' Often suppressing your own emotions to rationalize others' actions.
The one who is ready to transform these deeply rooted patterns and beliefs of always needing to be the fixer, the strong one, the expert in front of others.
By addressing the foundation of these beliefs. Finally allowing yourself to get to a place of asking for what you need and holding your boundaries. So that you can truly feel supported, acknowledged, helped, and cared for, even in the smallest (yet significant) ways!
REMINDER: Just because you always have been the fixer or strong one — doesnt mean you have to continue to be!
Does this sound like you?
If you are shaking your head to any of those…
Hi, I’m Robin Burgin and I totally get it!
I'm a Somatic Experiencing™ Practitioner (SEP) + Expressive Arts Facilitator, passionate about helping holders of space…codependents, healers, coaches, business owners, directors and parents … unlock the wisdom within their bodies.
Being a recovering Codependent has been a long and arduous journey, a familiar landscape for so many who seek connection and belonging. Like many, I explored the well-trodden paths: CODA meetings and years of talk therapy. These offered intellectual understanding, a cognitive mapping of the terrain of my relational patterns. I came to understand the why – the roots of my need to please, to appease, to prioritize the emotional comfort of others above my own. Yet, this understanding remained largely cerebral. The felt sense, the embodied experience of codependency, persisted. I could analyze my patterns, dissect them, but I couldn't shift them. The fear of upsetting another, the deep-seated sense of responsibility for their emotional state, remained stubbornly entrenched. The mantra of "I understand where they're coming from, therefore their feelings are valid, and mine are… secondary, perhaps even irrelevant" played on repeat in my mind.
This disconnect between knowing and being, between intellectual grasp and embodied change, kept me trapped. My relationships suffered and for 15 years, this manifested as a career built on being an ‘empathetic leader’, where the needs of others consistently eclipsed my own. My body, the ultimate arbiter of truth, eventually began to speak, demanding a reckoning. It was through Somatic Experiencing™ and the rediscovery of my own creative impulse that I began to bridge this gap, to connect the cognitive understanding with the visceral experience, finally allowing true healing to take root.
This led to healing years of trauma, turning my passion for ART into a thriving creative business and bringing to life a new FORM of healing for those who identify as Codependent or fancy themselves an empath.
I believe that the body holds everything it needs to heal, I guide clients to approach their experiences with curiosity and compassion. So that you can rediscover this innate wisdom.
Whether you're working through trauma patterns, Codependency, anxiety, overwhelm, self doubt, over-giving, burn out, or just seeking deeper self-awareness, I offer a gentle, body-based approach to foster inner peace and rediscover your innate wholeness and embody your competency to create deeper connections and higher levels of confidence to lead, create and heal others.
If you're reading this story and thinking, “Oh my gosh this sounds just like me!” allow me to introduce you to — Drawing Out Trauma!
Drawing Out Trauma is?
A 4-Week immersive experience that will help you break free from the self-protective walls that often hinder your ability to experience the nurturing care you crave. By shedding the heavy burden of always being the responsible one, the expert, the healer, or the fixer, you'll discover a newfound sense of connection and authenticity.
Rooted in Somatic Experiencing™ and The Expressive Arts, this unique approach to self-exploration and emotional release utilizes the power of rhythm and repetition. Forget about creating a masterpiece; the essence of this practice lies in the act of curiosity, play, creative expression and being with our experience (not trying to ‘fix’ it!). If we truly want to ‘feel better’; we need to be better at feeling.
In our 4-weeks together, we will partner to learn the language of your body, give a ‘voice’ to your unwanted beliefs/behaviors, explore new ways to express yourself and build resilience. So that you no longer have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and release pent-up emotions, tensions, or "holdings" stored deep within your body.

I invite you to take a moment to imagine what’s possible for you…
You will stop making excuses for others' behaviors and still give to people who are a constant energy suck and you are only tolerating because you are the expert and you understand why or where it is coming from.
Release the overwhelming sense of needing to do more or be more to succeed, trying to hide who you truly are to be seen as “acceptable or professional” and feeling exhausted from the masking to finally allowing yourself to be supported, seen, helped and held even down to the little things (actually big things) like allowing your partner to make you that cup of coffee or load the dishwasher because, yea, you may do it ‘better’ but you aren’t responsible for doing everything!
Disrupt the constant “I’m the expert” mode and the need to over intellectualize your experiences, your sadness, your aches, your pains AND STOP trying to answer the question, “This is happening BECAUSE…” and allow yourself to embrace vulnerability without shame for “knowing better’ so you can create deeper intimacy with your partner and do deeper work with your clients
Before moving on, really take a moment to notice what it’s like to read the list above…What emotions arise?
I want you to know that all of this is really possible! You truly can move past those emotions that feel like they will never go away.
No, it is not a quick fix, but I promise it will be a deep and profound experience that allows for lasting change.

“This practice is extraordinary. Prepare for a multidimensional, deeply moving, uplifting, magic carpet ride!”
Katharine Kim, DACM, L.Ac.
“Robin is a compassionate and caring healer, who personally created a safe space for me to be completely vulnerable, express raw emotions and speak my truth through not only words, but through the series of drawings I created during the sessions. This unique modality of the healing arts truly underscores the deep mind-body connection, and I am truly grateful for Robin helping me learn express, and heal.”
Are you ready to allow yourself to be put first, let go of the weight of responsibility, to heal the conditioning that has formed the patterns that keep you from truly connecting and thriving?

“Our senses are always cross talking to create unique impressions and feelings about our world. And because the arts, by their very nature, are strong sensory inputs that engage multiple systems, they are uniquely capable of accessing interconnected neural pathways that allow us to process emotions, name and express our feelings, and even work on accessing the unconscious psyche.”
