What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic Therapy is a holistic, body-centered approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the connection between the mind and body in healing emotional and psychological challenges. By addressing how stress, trauma, and emotions are stored in the body, somatic therapy helps individuals release physical tension, regulate their nervous system, and foster emotional well-being. This integrative approach combines traditional talk therapy with techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork, and movement.

How Can Somatic Therapy Help You?

Somatic Therapy provides tools to deeply connect with your body’s innate wisdom and healing capacity. By working with a skilled therapist, you can:

• Recognize and release physical manifestations of stress and trauma.

• Learn to regulate your nervous system for greater emotional balance.

• Enhance self-awareness and mindfulness in your daily life.

• Build resilience to manage life’s challenges with greater ease.

• Develop a deeper sense of connection with yourself and others.

Through a combination of body-focused techniques and emotional exploration, somatic therapy empowers you to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your well-being.

What Issues and Diagnoses Can Somatic Therapy Treat?

Somatic Therapy is effective for a wide range of mental health and emotional concerns, including:

• Trauma and PTSD: Releasing trauma held in the body and restoring a sense of safety.

• Anxiety and Stress: Reducing physical tension and calming the mind.

• Depression: Addressing body-mind disconnects that contribute to low mood.
