“There is deep wisdom within our very flesh, if we can only come to our senses and feel it.”

Why Do We Need the Body in Psychotherapy?
Somatic psychotherapy enlists the innate intelligence of the body as a catalyst for health.
Because mind-body disconnect is often related to our deepest emotional wounds, attunement to our body’s responses to stressors is essential to healing.
By bringing awareness to how our emotions, sensations, thoughts, images and memories interconnect and influence each other, somatic psychology brings us home to ourselves.
As we become more resourced through body-centered therapy, we have space to discover the stuck points, the hidden parts of us, the pressurized moments that have shaped how we relate to others…how we are in the world. We shed light on these old wounds, lend context and compassion, and work to rewrite the narratives. With body, voice, breath, brain and heart.

Somatic Sessions
In somatic psychotherapy, we are supported in developing resources that help our nervous systems rebalance. This work helps us discover how our behavioral patterns were shaped by our relationships, family history and societal norms.
Being witnessed with loving awareness as we move through life’s challenges allows us to become more confident, whole and empowered individuals. The practice of embodiment allows a return to the senses, integrating our inner and outer worlds. When interoception increases, authentic expression can emerge and obstacles to health begin to shift.
“The body can manifest mental unease and can also help heal it.”
Sources Say…
Although the Greek word soma originally meant “of the body”, it later evolved to mean the living body in its wholeness. In this latter definition, soma is a process of doing and being, rather than an abstract entity. In other words, soma is a living process by which our bodily sensations, movements, perceptions, emotions and thoughts form a whole of experience. -Center for Somatic Studies

Somatic therapy emphasizes helping patients develop resources within themselves in order to self-regulate their emotions, or to move out of the fight/flight/freeze response and into a higher-functioning mode where they can think more clearly. Through developing awareness of the mind-body connection and using specific interventions, somatic therapy helps to release the tension, anger, frustration, and other emotions that remain in a patient’s body from these past negative experiences. The goal is to help free the patient from what is preventing them from fully engaging in their lives. -Psychology Today
