BODIE Bryte

Hi! I'm Bodie Bryte and I want to thank you so much for taking the time to check out my website! I'm so hopeful that you'll find something that can help you along your healing journey while you're here. So a little bit about me...

​

For as a long as I can remember, I’ve been a seeker. I’ve spent much of my life fascinated with the search for knowledge, answers, and truth. When I say truth, I don’t just mean the kind of truth that can be proven in a scientific study, although that truth has it’s value as well. I mean the kind of truth that resonates in your gut and you can feel in your bones. I’ve looked for it in books, movies, music, relationships, sunsets, podcasts, “experts”, therapy, and Instagram. And for some reason, I’ve always sought after the kind of truth that could end suffering.

​

As a young child, I immersed myself in topics like animal rights, saving the environment, and the Holocaust. I was drawn to stories about vulnerable populations and the suffering they experienced and I looked for ways that I could help. Some years later I found myself getting my Master's in Social Work and becoming a mental health therapist. 

​

But even this education didn't satisfy me. Once I started working with clients, I realized that I didn't have effective tools for helping them heal from the trauma they were holding so I sought out years of training to learn the truth about how trauma affects us and tools that actually lead towards healing like EMDR and ego state therapy. In all of that learning, when I found out the truth about how trauma affects the human body, I sought out more training in yoga to find trauma sensitive ways to release trauma from the body. When I met my spouse and realized the truth about how deeply underserved our first responder population is and the uniqueness of the trauma they experience, I went looking for training on how to help this group heal from what they experience on the job every day.  And most recently, when I was given the opportunity to be trained in Reiki, I eagerly accepted so I could learn the truth about how our pain is held in our energy bodies and learn how to help clients heal in this way. 

​

Currently, I offer individual outpatient therapy services to teens and adults as well as reiki and restorative reiki yoga sessions for adults at the Center for Thriving Relationships in Bloomington, IN. I am honored to work with a variety of populations including survivors of complex childhood trauma of all kinds, individuals with PTSD and Dissociative Identity Disorder, First Responders, members of the LGBTQ+ community, highly sensitive people and empaths, and individuals with neurodivergence. You are warmly welcome to find more information about my training here and the services I am currently offering here.

​

I offer all of that information about my training and the populations I specialize in working with because often that's the information that people are looking for when trying to find a practitioner that is right for them. But, I'd like to share a few more truths with you.

 

The truth is, I don't believe people are broken and need "fixing". I believe people are having natural reactions to what has happened to them. And I don't consider myself a "healer" or an "expert." Those titles have never sat well with me because I believe so fully that the clients that I work with are the experts of themselves and that they are fully capable of healing themselves. In the same way that our bodies know intuitively how to heal a cut on our hand if we just clean it and protect it with a bandage, I believe that people are capable of intuitively healing their minds and their hearts and their physical bodies and their energy bodies if given a healing container and a few tools. In that way, I like to think of myself as specializing in holding small healing ceremonies like a therapy session, a yoga class, a meditation, or a reiki session at which I walk with people on their journey to finding their way back to loving themselves.
