Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy helps you connect with your mind and body to heal from trauma and stress. It focuses on how your body holds onto past experiences and current emotions, helping you release the energy and tension stored within.
​
How It Works
In somatic therapy, you'll learn to pay attention to your body’s signals and understand what they mean. For example:
Feeling Safe in Your Body: We'll practice exercises that help you feel more comfortable and secure in your body.
Releasing Stress: You might learn gentle movements or breathing techniques to release stress and tension.
Healing Past Trauma: By slowly and safely addressing memories or sensations, we help your body let go of trauma stored in it.
Managing Current Emotions: You'll develop skills to manage and understand your current emotions, helping you to respond to life's challenges in a healthy way.
