Somatic Therapy

Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing that focuses on the connection between your mind and nervous system. When we experience stress or trauma, it’s not just stored in our thoughts, it can also live in the body as tension, tightness, or a sense of being stuck or overwhelmed. Somatic therapy helps you tune into these physical sensations in a safe and supported way, allowing your body to process and release what it has been holding.

Rather than only talking about your experiences, somatic therapy gently brings awareness to what’s happening in your body in the present moment. This might include noticing sensations, tracking shifts, and building your capacity to stay with what you feel without becoming overwhelmed. Over time, this can help regulate your nervous system, reduce anxiety, and create a greater sense of safety and grounding within yourself.

Somatic therapy is especially helpful for trauma, chronic stress and pain, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. It can also support you in feeling more connected to your body, your boundaries, and your internal sense of stability.
