Somatic therapy involves becoming aware of when our bodies are telling us we’re stressed or triggered, like with muscle tension, stomach aches, headaches, shallow breathing, throat tightness, or numbness. Somatic therapy also involves learning how to calm or discharge that stress, tension and trauma. These techniques can include breathing exercises, dance, mindfulness, art, and other body movement techniques.
Somatic therapy techniques are body-focused to help us calm our nervous systems that have been overloaded by stress. We will work together to identify your body’s unique way of communicating as well as identifying and utilizing resources in your awareness and surroundings.
