Somatic Therapy
Healing Trauma Through the Mind & Body
You Are the Expert of Your Body: Discover Healing from Within
Why I choose to intergrate Somatic Therapy into my psychotherapy?
Healing isn’t just a mental process—it’s a physical one, too. Somatic Therapy provides practical tools to help you feel safe, supported, and whole. By addressing the body, it creates a foundation for long-lasting emotional and physical well-being.
How Does Somatic Therapy Work?
1. Listening to Your Body
Your body stores stress and trauma in subtle ways. Somatic Therapy helps you tune into physical sensations—like your breath, heartbeat, or muscle tension. This practice, known as interoception, builds awareness, fosters calm, and reconnects you to your body’s natural rhythm.
2. Releasing Stored Stress
Trauma often becomes trapped in the body as unconscious memories. Through gentle techniques, Somatic Therapy works to release these “body memories,” replacing them with feelings of safety, ease, and balance.
3. Regulating Your Nervous System
Somatic Therapy helps reset your body’s stress responses by balancing the fight-or-flight system with relaxation and recovery. Key techniques include:
- Grounding: Staying connected to your body and environment.
- Gentle Movement: Releasing tension through small, intentional motions.
- Breathing Exercises: Using mindful breathing to calm the mind and body.
Who Can Benefit from Somatic Therapy?
Somatic Therapy is ideal for individuals dealing with:
- Trauma and PTSD
- Chronic stress or anxiety
- Emotional overwhelm
- Chronic fatigue or physical pain
This approach is gentle, effective, and empowering for anyone seeking a deeper mind-body connection.
