When Your Body Feels Like It's Holding Too Much
You’ve tried to think your way out of it. You’ve talked about it. Maybe you’ve even done traditional therapy for years, and you understand the patterns. But your body still reacts before your brain can catch up. Somatic therapy helps you work with the nervous system, not against it.
What Is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy is a body-oriented approach that helps regulate your nervous system, address trauma stored in the body, and support emotional resilience. This isn’t about "fixing" you. It’s about understanding the messages your body is sending and responding in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Somatic Therapy Can Help With:
-
Anxiety and chronic stress
-
Panic attacks or feeling emotionally flooded
-
Dissociation and disconnection
-
Muscle tension, migraines, and other body symptoms tied to stress
-
Trauma triggers and emotional overwhelm
What Sessions Might Look Like
We start by building safety and awareness. That might include breathwork, guided tracking of sensations, grounding exercises, or noticing how emotion shows up in different parts of the body. You’re always in control of what you want to explore, and there’s no pressure to go into anything that feels too activating.
Somatic therapy sessions are flexible. Some clients combine it with EMDR or art therapy, others use it as their main approach. You don’t need to have a specific goal. You only need a willingness to slow down and listen to your body in a new way.
