Transform Trauma and Stress Through Somatic Therapy
Somatic Experiencing, a form of Somatic Therapy, is a body-centered therapeutic approach that emphasizes the connection between the mind and body. Together, we will focus on internal physical sensations to address and heal trauma so that you can find peace.
How Somatic Therapy is Different
Unlike traditional talk therapies that primarily engage the cognitive aspects of healing, Somatic Experiencing emphasizes the connection between your mind and body to facilitate trauma healing. By bringing awareness to body sensations, somatic therapy helps you become aware of your internal bodily sensations, promoting nervous system regulation and expanding your capacity to tolerate distress. This gentle, client-centered approach empowers you to process and heal from your traumatic experiences effectively.
