We are Vega Therapy is bringing accessible & usable therapy to you. This is an alternative to regular therapy where we do things differently. We’re demystifying trauma, attachment & anxiety, & providing affordable resources for people who don't have access to therapy. We’ll teach you how to tune in & listen to what your body is telling you, helping you understand how past experiences shape your life.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body centred therapy, showing you how you're affected and what works to settle anxiety and manage your nervous system. Regaining control over your responses and behaviours allows you to feel more confident and build your resilience, so no matter what life throws at you, you'll feel ready.
When you learn how to trust your instincts and not be thrown by what your head tells you, you'll break negative cycles. When you have a better relationship with yourself, you'll see a big improvement in the relationship you have with others, and with your body.

❤ Thank you very much
Hello, we have DID and value your content and time. We hope it’s ok to feedback that we find the split screen format a bit distracting - appreciate everyone is different and wondered if there is an accessibility need we are missing that leads you to present in this style? Thanks again for your work in this field
Thank you. When i was very young i had a really bad experience. Nobody involved remembers anymore. I still do. And when i speak about it i still cry. I am close to 40 and it still bring me to tears.
Thankyou so much for this video.. so much of positive energy.. Much love ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much! 💙
Your videos are great 👍 you are definitely the only one I’m aware of that offers practical solutions. Thank you for your work.
thank you for this clear description!!!
Thanks so much! It gives me some understanding of what my body has gone through. It's been difficult not to blame others for the triggers that I have experienced. Not realizing that this was not a universal experience that I shared with others. The overview this video provides has helped me to see my situation differently. Thanks so much!
I have to ask: is "Veganism" a central theme of this channel? ...
Not at all! This channel is mainly around Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, trauma & attachment, & mental health. We named after the star ‘Vega’ 🙂
I’m only just coming into full awareness now in my 40s…after my father died coincidentally. It’s making so much sense of questions I’ve had and couldn’t verbalise
Wonderful video.💎 I appreciate all your videos and the warm, insightful way you explain things simply and clearly. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers this is a gem of a channel.💎It's helped and consoled me alot.😊
Can you talk about DPDR?
Excellent content ❤
Wow thank you so much! These techniques worked for me 😊
When i did my second round of adanced emdr 2.0. I woke up and lost all memory before 19 years old. I woke up from a dream with a new name and a new me. Taxed so much working memeory and im okay with that. I look at photos of myself as a child and dont recognise myself and my sister will occasionally talk about a tramatic memory and i just have no memory of it. Still think advanaced flash technqique and emdr 2.0 was the best thing i ever did. All the somatic work i did though brought up all the my childhood stuff. I had a inplicit memeory come up all the way from the original attachment trauma, i was a baby crying in a cot wanting to be picked up, i felt that pain and was able to cry with it and hold it compassionatly. ❤
This is really helpfull currently working with a lot of resistance. I love to hear the way you work.
what a load of rubbish
I'm not sure if I have D.I.D. or not but I definitely suffer from dissociating. It has presented in different ways for me throughout the years. I was abused in several ways growing up, particularly S. A. from age 6 to 14. I remember in highschool I would spend as much time as I could in my head talking to someone named Thomas. This is strange to me because I'm not a very creative person, I've never been good at playing imaginary games like dress up or house. I also had family inside my head, a dad and a mom that dont exist in real life. I spoke to those individuals until I was about 20. Ever since I was 18 I noticed that anytime I felt anxious my voice would change and it felt strange, I would speak with a voice that felt unrecognizable to me. Sometimes I would act like a young child and I felt so embarrassed by it but I didn't know how to stop myself or I would speak uncontrollably to people, talking a lot. I've noticed more that whenever something very stressful happens, I get a brain fog afterward. For example, if I go to a job interview or a therapy session I have to make sure to write everything down in a notebook during the conversation otherwise I forget what we spoke about. I also have to set alarms for anything important otherwise I will forget to do it. I also don't remember much of my childhood except the traumatic parts. A lot of my childhood memories are completely missing.
❤🙏
Brilliant
Brilliant! Thank you❤
It sounds like she loves Christmas and the therapist is trying to let her know that Christmas got those commercial hyper things up that might make people couldn’t feel her love that she is pouring her complete body into; I kinda feel the girls want to celebrate Christmas as a kid but also feel that the experience might feel very culturally framed and stagnant
Wow the demonstration about Christmas is very interesting and extremely heart warming to watch
How does one know they are doing better for these types of patients
Oh I see that’s why I am so attuned to sound therapy
Oops wrong ground
All of this resonates. Feeling judged or even disliked by a therapist can leave you feeling worse and put you off seeking further help. Also, it takes courage to stand up to a highly qualified professional and tell them what they're doing is not working for you. That courage is hard to find when you're feeling fearful and vulnerable. You need to have it acknowledged that what you're going through is a normal reaction to abnormal events. I came to that place on my own , but it took longer than it might have with the right help. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and compassion.
This was great, for me affirms the need for the integration of these modalities and including IFS in terms of the parts work. I know for me a synthesis is needed.
It seems to me that it is grateful to acknowledge the parts disassociation early on in life, it is like meeting an old friend out of a blue either in the worst scenario possible(crime scene) or in their best dressed Hollywood scene at the same time
Wow this is truly a unique disorder and glad to listen to a professional who can describe the events and symptoms
I always envy those people who looks genuinely happy about their family life, work and create vacation ambiance in their design everyday life
Wow this video changed my life today!
You are excellent! Please continue ❤
Thanks for your excellent work ❤ I always look forward for your next video
As a trainee therapist, this has been so helpful! Is there a course on Sensorimotor therapy? Thank you for your content, it's brilliantly helpful! x
Thanks for making this video Catriona. Perfect timing, and very relevant to what I've experienced in the past (and experiencing now) in therapeutic settings. All the therapy I've had in the past for addressing and healing from childhood abuse and trauma has been talk-based. This therapy was somewhat helpful for gaining new insights, reframing thinking and assigning responsibility/blame to the perpetrator(s) where it rightfully belongs. However, I still experience lingering effects from abuse and some situations as traumatic in the present at an automatic and/or visceral level, below the level of conscious rational thinking. The next time I seek therapy to address this, I think some sort of somatic approach alongside talking would be more effective. Two points that weren't mentioned in this video that I think are relevant and I would love to hear your perspectives in a future video, include: 1) The right therapist is just as important as the right therapy. Any kind of trauma therapy needs a high level of trust in the therapist on the side of the person seeking therapy in order to feel safe, relaxed and let their guard down in order for the therapy to be most effective. 2) Neurodevelopmental conditions like autism can affect what a person perceives as traumatic, and how their mind and body experiences and responds to trauma. Everyday experiences (e.g.sudden/unexpected changes, adverse sensory input like harsh lighting and loud noises, insults or criticism) that may be "water off a duck's back" to most people, can be traumatic and dysegulating to autistics, especially if repeatedly experienced over a period of time. If an autistic person encounters in therapy disbelief in such events as traumatic, blamed or told to snap out of it, or exposure/flooding therapy is tried; that is not only unhelpful for past/ongoing trauma, but is in itself extremely re- or newly traumatising.

Step 1. Failed.
So true
As someone with DID, thank you for this validation and for making a video that sums up everything I say when I describe DID to others. We decided to take off our mask about 3 years ago and it’s hard to describe. I’m sure on the outside looking in, I appear to have regressed. But on the inside, the work we have done, the healing and, well, all of it - I’m so proud of all of my parts. I’m also so glad you discussed fusion. My therapist and I talked about that and it scared us. Just as we were finally communicating - as odd as that likely seemed to the outside world - the idea of “what if a therapist wants us to bind together? We didn’t want that!” I discussed it with my therapist and he said we should all focus on doing what is best for Sam. So now that is what we try to do ❤.
I have no memories of my childhood before my teenage years. I find the way the brain/body responds to trauma fascinating. Thank you for the video! It will help alot of people.
Thank you so much . This information doesn't seem to be given by therapists. Understanding why I respond in the way that | do is very empowering. It makes sense. It is comforting and brings relief to know that I couldn't have responded differently by any act of willpower.
You're so welcome, that's really good to hear!
You nailed it. My trauma story started before i was 4 years old. The trauma became part of my personality . The pattern of the pedophile was eye-opening. Narcissists most likely use this system to identify victims also. Thanks for the educational and enlightened support!
Thank you so much for your comment!
Thank you ❤
Thank you very much for your videos.
So glad you like them!
You truly are a gift to my world. Thank you, beloved Soul <3
Hi, I have a DID playlist here on youtube I've put a few of your vids there and I hope you don't mind. Thanks.
That's great, no don't mind at all!
❤thank you! We do not want integration! Our system is various ages, but the body is 60. We barely coped while we spent 10 years getting passed around to various psychiatrists. Now, being left to our selves, we take care of each other without suicide plans. ❤ M.P.D. saved our lives ! We hate the term D.I.D. for those of us with large systems of people. We feel M.P.D. & D.I.D. should bec2 separate distinct DSM diagnosis.
May I ask why you think they should be named differently? Is it because D.I.D. is a spectrum?
Good to have a channel that is committed to taking through the ‘how to’. Look forward to further content
Thank you very much for the excellent work❤
