Benefits

Recognize and disrupt painful patterns

By drawing your attention to how changes in your stance, gaze, facial expression, muscle tension, and breath are responses to pain that foster more discomfort.

Increase bodily awareness

By improving your ability to truly sense your own body internally. You'll learn to observe and appreciate its present state and changing sensations. Slowly, you can improve your tolerance for the painful sensations you're experiencing.

Discharge the origins of your pain

By allowing you to regulate and resolve chronic pain with movement. Somatic therapy works directly with the nervous system to gradually help discharge the unprocessed survival energy that keeps you tense and hurting.
Why it works

Why it works

Also known as somatic experiencing, somatic therapy incorporates the mind, body, and spirit into therapeutic healing work. Somatic therapy aims to treat the effects of PTSD and other mental and emotional health issues through the connection of mind and body, using a body-centric approach.

Holistic approach

Holistic approach

Unlike standard mental health therapy types like CBT that focus prominently on the mind, somatic therapy incorporates body-oriented modalities such as dance, breathwork, mind-body activities, and mindfulness to support people through their healing journeys.

Release tension stored in the body

Release tension stored in the body

This therapy aims to help release how a physical body holds on to stress, tension, pain and trauma, rather than only resolving problems verbally.
