Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the connection between the mind and the body. It recognizes that the emotional and psychological impacts of trauma are stored in the body, affecting physical well-being, emotional health, and behavior. By integrating body awareness, movement, and physical techniques into therapy, somatic therapy helps individuals process and release tension, trauma, and emotional blocks held within the body.

Through mindful awareness of physical sensations, breathwork, touch, and movement, somatic therapy helps individuals become more attuned to their bodies, facilitating healing from the inside out. This approach empowers clients to reconnect with their bodies, build resilience, and regain a sense of control and balance.

Core Components

  • Body Awareness: Somatic therapy emphasizes awareness of physical sensations, helping clients tune into their bodies and notice how emotions and experiences manifest physically.

  • Integration of Mind and Body: This approach integrates emotional and physical experiences, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind and body in healing.

  • Trauma Release: Somatic therapy helps release the physical tension and emotional blockages caused by trauma, allowing for healing beyond talk therapy.

  • Mindful Movement: Techniques such as guided movement, breathwork, and touch may be used to help release stored tension and emotional pain in the body.

  • Empowerment and Self-Regulation: Somatic therapy empowers clients to develop a deeper understanding of their body’s signals, helping them to regulate emotions and responses, and to build resilience.
