What is Somatic Psychotherapy?
While traditional talk therapy focuses on the mind, somatic psychotherapy acknowledges that our stories are also held within our bodies.
Trauma, stress, and systemic harm often leave our nervous systems stuck in cycles of fight, flight, or freeze.
-
Somatic Psychotherapy: listening to the "story" your body is telling through your breath, posture, and sensations. Because trauma and stress are stored in the nervous system, we work directly with the body to release tension that words alone can’t reach.
-
The core philosophy is that "the body keeps the score"—meaning your nervous system stores the physical energy of past stress and trauma long after the event has ended.
