Somatic Experiencing

Trauma, whether it’s physical or not, gets “stuck” in the body. Even emotional and psychological trauma will disrupt the rhythm of the nervous system, causing a person to feel overwhelmed, stressed, depressed or anxious for years after the traumatic event. The body will be stuck in this “survival mode” until the nervous system’s natural flow is restored. Somatic Experiencing is a type of therapy that addresses the mind/body connection and aims to awaken the inherent wisdom within the body that is available for healing.

“Somatic therapy offers a variety of benefits. It reduces discomfort, strain, and stress in the body. It transforms negative emotional experiences, creates a greater sense of Self, builds resilience and offers hope.”
