Somatic Psychotherapy Can Help Release Trauma from Your Body and Restore Well-Being

It uses body-oriented awareness combined with talking to process and treat psychological issues.

Through somatic psychotherapy clients establish grounding and resourcing in the body. They learn to listen to their body’s cues. Outdated patterns in the mind-body system are replaced with more healthy and sustainable patterns.

“In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”

Bessel Van Der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score
