Somatic Therapy

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is used to treat trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression by focussing on the mind-body connection, helping people release physical tension and unprocessed emotions ‘trapped’ in the body through techniques like breathwork, movement, and mindfulness. It helps alleviate symptoms of PTSD, chronic pain, grief, and emotional dysregulation, aiming to resolve negative experiences stored physically for holistic healing.

How It Works 

• Body Awareness: Patients focus on physical sensations (tightness, shallow breathing) to understand how emotions live in their body.
• Mind-Body Techniques: Uses exercises like breathwork, yoga, dance, and grounding to release stored tension.
• Releasing Trapped Energy: Helps the body complete natural responses to overwhelming events, freeing the individual from physical and emotional blocks
