Somatic Psychotherapy

Somatic therapy operates off the idea that what happens to you in your life is stored not only in your mind but also in your body. By focusing on both the physical sensations in your body and the discussion of your problems, it is a comprehensive approach to therapy. Somatic therapy aims to treat the mental and emotional health issues through the connection of mind and body and uses a body-centric approach. This therapy aims to help release how a physical body holds on to stress, tension, and trauma, rather than only resolving problems verbally. From there, the mind-body exercises may include breath work, meditation, visualization, massage, grounding, dance, and/or sensation awareness work.
