Somatic Therapy

What is it?

Somatic Therapy is a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. Unlike traditional talk therapy alone, somatic therapy incorporates body awareness, movement, and mindfulness to release trauma, stress, and emotional pain stored in the body.

Our bodies often “hold onto” unprocessed experiences, which can show up as chronic tension, anxiety, or physical symptoms. Somatic therapy helps clients access and release these patterns, creating space for greater resilience, regulation, and overall well-being.

How Does Somatic Therapy Work?

Somatic therapy blends traditional psychotherapy with body-based practices. In sessions, clients are guided to:

  • Increase awareness of bodily sensations and signals.

  • Use grounding, breathing, or movement techniques to regulate emotions.

  • Release physical tension linked to unresolved trauma or stress.

  • Reconnect with the body’s natural wisdom for healing.

  • Build greater capacity for safety and presence in the here and now.

By engaging both the body and mind, somatic therapy helps clients process experiences that may not be fully accessible through words alone.

What Can Somatic Therapy Help With?

Somatic therapy is especially effective for trauma, stress, and conditions that manifest both emotionally and physically. It can help with:

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Depression and mood disorders

  • Chronic stress and burnout

  • Dissociation and disconnection from the body

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationship challenges

  • Body image and self-esteem issues

  • Unresolved childhood experiences

  • Physical symptoms connected to emotional pain

Is Somatic Therapy Right for You?

Do you feel “stuck” in patterns of stress, fear, or emotional overwhelm? Do you notice physical tension or pain that seems connected to past experiences? Do you struggle to feel grounded, present, or safe in your own body?

If so, somatic therapy may be a powerful path forward. This approach helps you release what the body has been holding, so you can experience deeper healing, calm, and balance.
