What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the link between the mind and body, particularly how physical sensations and experiences influence mental health. This method is grounded in the idea that trauma, stress, and other emotional experiences are not only processed in the brain but also have a profound impact on the body.
We focus on the body’s sensations, nervous system responses, and physical reactions to tackle issues such as trauma, chronic pain, and brain fog. By examining how these physical experiences affect mental health, somatic experiencing therapy seeks to help individuals release accumulated stress, heal from past traumas, and attain a deeper sense of well-being.
Key aspects of online somatic therapy include:
Awareness of the Body: Learning to tune into physical sensations and how they relate to emotional and mental states.
Nervous System Regulation: Techniques to balance the autonomic nervous system and manage stress responses.
Healing Through Experience: Using body-centered exercises and practices to promote emotional healing and address chronic pain.
Overall, somatic experiencing therapy integrates body awareness with traditional therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to offer a comprehensive method for healing and improving mental health.

In our work together, we’ll use techniques like body awareness, gentle breathwork, and nervous system regulation to help you come out of survival mode.

No, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and somatic therapy are not the same, though they can be complementary. EMDR is a structured therapy primarily used to process traumatic memories by using bilateral stimulation to reduce distress from memories. Somatic therapy, on the other hand, focuses on body awareness and physical sensations to help regulate the nervous system and address trauma. Both approaches aim to heal trauma but use different methods and techniques. To learn more about EMDR therapy and how it can be utilized for trauma and PTSD visit my virtual EMDR therapy page.
