Discover the benefits of Somatic Psychotherapy
Traditional talk therapy focuses primarily on thoughts, emotions, and behaviours through conversation. While this can be helpful, it often remains in the thinking mind, relying on logic and words to process experiences. Somatic Psychotherapy, on the other hand, works with the body as well as the mind, recognising that many of our responses to stress, trauma, and emotions are stored in the body, not just in our thoughts.
What is Polyvagal and Somatic Experiencing therapy?
Why is it different?
In Somatic Psychotherapy, the body can heal itself. Just as a cut on your hand heals naturally, your nervous system also knows how to return to a state of calm and connection. However, after a stressful or traumatic event, this balance may not always restore itself.
While traditional talk therapy may not always address deep, physical responses, Somatic Psychotherapy helps by focusing on body sensations, movement, and breath to release stored stress and tension.
